Obviously quite old, but still very interesting. The BMW guy explicitly mentions two things that have been discussed somewhat controversially on this forum: the motor-generator attached to the ICE in the rear, and the fact that Sport mode changes the tuning of the engine.

Also good to hear that the CFRP monocoque can be repaired without loss of structural integrity.
