The tires were preheated and adjusted to optimal pressure. That was the only way he was allowed to 510 hp BMW M3 Competition Touring on the racetrack. Weidinger, who was behind the wheel, had only one chance of breaking the record. But it was worth it, because at the end there was a time of 7: 35.060 minutes on the clock. The M3 Touring is only a few seconds behind the less rear-heavy and lighter M4 Competition Coupé (G82) with an identical drive.

Of course, the long-awaited record was more important than the final time. Compared to the previous record holder from Affalterbach, no standard station wagon has ever been faster on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife.
