It looks like BMW->ke178 is having all the fun in the world smashing the strangest world records out there. Back in February, a BMW M5->ke2922 with Johan Schwartz behind the wheel entered the Guinness World Record Book for the longest drift: 76.8 km (47.71 miles). Now, Schwartz managed to smash his own record while driving the same unmodified M5.

This time the record was established at BMW Performance Center near Greenville, South Carolina on Saturday, May 11, 2013. This time, he did a total of 322.5 laps around a circumference of 841 foot circle, providing a total distance traveled of 51.278 miles.

This event is just the first of many during a week of events leading up to the BMW Charity Pro-Am. To date, a total of $20,000 has been raised with benefits going to more than 150 charities.

Those attending the world record were invited to enjoy drives in new BMW vehicles, including the M6 Coupe or received a "hot lap" ride from one the BMW Performance Center Instructors.

BMW M5

The current-generation BMW M5 was unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show->ke235 and just two years later, the company is already preparing a small revision for the sports sedan.

For the 2014 model year, the M5 will receive a redesigned kidney grille, and new headlights and taillights. Nothing too drastic was changed; just enough to keep the model fresh.

Under the hood, the M5 will keep the usual 4.4-liter V-8 engine with an M TwinPower Turbo package that delivers an impressive 560 horsepower and 501 pound-feet of torque. The model will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and, when the speed limiter is removed, it’s capable of hitting a top speed of 190 mph.
