Also, correct me if I am wrong, but once you "launch" the car in ludicrous mode, you drain much of your battery.

Different technologies... all awesome.
No you don't drain most of your battery once you launch in ludicrous mode, you can do it many times.

What will drain battery quick though (plus overheat), is high speed roll race. Forget the M5, I wouldn't even race a 530i on the freeway if I want to make it to my next destination....

Hence I normally drive my M5 when I go between cities and P100D for city driving.
