Actually, 10 seconds off the M3's time, not "a few tenths". Anyway, the trouble with testing at the Nurburgring is that the Nordschliefe circuit has so many blind and off-camber corners that somebody who knows it well will always beat someone who doesn't, no matter what they are driving. How many corners does it have? 160? Around that, I think. 8 minute lap times, so it's a lo-o-o-ong track.
The X6 did beat a Maserati by two seconds, so it's no slouch. But BMW aren't saying who was driving.
