There's a very good possibility that I misread the information, but this list seems to show that BMW's fastest offering at the world famous Nordschleife is a specially built Le Mans X5 driven by none other than Hans Stuck. In 2001, Stuck achieves an amazing 7:49.93 lap time in a V12 powered SUV built by BMW.

Yeah, that LeMans X5 is amazing -- it was rumored to be the ///M version of the X5 but BMW didn't think there would be a market for a 6spd SUV (even with an SMG option).

BTW, I believe that list is self-selecting -- i.e. it only provides times that are self-reported by the drivers/manufacturers. I believe someone ran the Z8 through the 'Ring in something like a ridiculous sub 7:40 and there are always legends floating around about the Ring Taxi taking an E39 M5 through the course in an unbelievable time of under 8:00 flat... wonder what she would clock out at with the LeMans X5 ...

Other sources list the engine as having 750HP so I didn't know which to post. Either way, this X5 is using the V12 motor BMW built for the McLaren racecar that won the 24 hour Le Mans (forgot the year, 1999 or 2000 perhaps?) and is also the same motor in the BMW V12 LMR that won the same race the following year.

Too bad for us, this is a one-time, one-of-a-kind X5 with no further plans to produce and sell to consumers.
