I've not been able to get the Search function to work all day so I'm not for sure if this has been posted yet.

It's a must see. I listed all the places to download the video to your hard drive because I'm not for sure how long they will be there. It's a quick time file that’s about 4.8mb. I first saw it on a BMW M5 forum and later did a search on goggle were I found a lot of info from Slashdot.

Enjoy
