It didn't look like the BMW driver was even aware that he was participating in a "race". The video appears to be one of those where driver A records random video of his vehicle passing driver B on a freeway and chalks it up as an internet victory.

While no doubt an 8 series, it's also unclear as to which one. A 986 would be faster than an 840 and about on par with an 850i but would be spanked in a straight line by an 850Csi which does a 5.3 0-60 and a 13.9 quarter. The power difference would be even more dramatic at high speeds as the CSi has a v12 that puts out 372 hp.
