Documentary Shows How BMW M5 Broke NYC-to-LA Speed Record in 2006


(One correction to the story: per my channel guide, it airs at 7:30pm tomorrow)

Watch the story of how the M5 smashed the previous 32-hour record. It premieres on NBC Sports on October 20.

A new automotive documentary is coming to NBC Sports this Sunday. APEX: The Secret Race across America follows Alex Roy on his attempt to break the extremely illegal 32-hour driving-speed record from New York to Los Angeles in 2006 behind the wheel of a BMW E39 M5.

Set your DVRs!
