lol I saw this on Engadget just now...

Looks like GTR or something? Pretty expensive, but still cool... I guess

Can you spot all the really sad points of the video and the entire presentation? lol

i wouldn't mind giving it a go! although if i had an M3 i wouldn't be parking it in front of a screen and "pretending" to drive it!

that is GTR2

The LCD menus shows it but it also sounds like M3 GTR from the game.

A bit unclear: is this officially BMW's simulator? If yes, wtf they're thinking? Or just some Joe Average with too much money?

NO CLUTCH!!! He was still accelerating when moving the shifter and the "sim" never shifted until after the shifter was in gear. The car has a freakin manual shifter, where is the clutch?

The clutch simulation in GTR2 is a lot better than LFS tbh, its just that this particular guy didnt seem to be using it.

Obviously he just wished he'd opted for the 'ring spec M3 and was realising his dream, much like any of us would drive a road spec car in LFS

That is the single biggest waste of a good car I've seen since "pimp my ride".

LOL on the presentation LCD screen there is a mug shot of the drivers face.

Well, somebody has money and passion for cars. Sadly he doesn't know anything about racing simulators
