  • M5 CS - 627 HP, 4096 lbs
  • M5 Comp - 617 HP, 4243 lbs

Given that ^^, something else is up. I have a hard time believing that 10 hp and -230 lbs puts that much of a gap on a Comp. I'm just not buying it.
The M5's before 2022 that carwow has tested have had wildly inconsistent launches. They've mentioned it before. The M8's are dead consistent every time.

I never launched my 2018, so I know nothing about U.S. launches. But this trend has been obvious over several carwow videos. It included Evolve's car, which is tuned to within an inch of it's life.
