The magazines you say are a complete conspiracy and those that you say are not.
So - that is about it.
EDIT: Lol - and the F90 wasn't on the same Pilot 4S tires as the E63S - and lost by a tenth. You have no legs to stand on Goonba. What a joke.

Once again if you actually bothered to watch other Auto Express H2Hs you will have realised that 0.1s on that tiny track is a meaningful amount (the E63 beat the Pan Turbo by 0.3s which is significantly heavier and less power). All the H2Hs on that track are close. It may be that the E63s is better on smaller technical tracks, the M5 is better elsewhere. He also admits that in the E63 he had to short shift because the torque range is pretty immense, and that could be the difference between winning and losing on a tight, short track.
The M5 is on Pirelli PZ4s, which is the supplied tyre in the UK. The reason being is that in colder/slippery conditions (aka the UK) the tyre performs better (google some reviews). It has less road noise and leads to better fuel consumption (which in the UK is more important). They also come standard on the E63.
