A stock M5 F10 also managed to stay neck a neck and even overtake the 458 over 220. Noone could really understand what happened. 458 are pretty rare here, especially any that frequents these events.

The 488 on the other hand is also slower here than in the rest of the world. The 488 lost to the 991.2 Turbo S stock from 100-250 on highway professional tests. Don't know why or how that happened but it did.
It's difficult to answer
But I can belive You it happend.
Maybe Ferrari is cheating about the power?
Maybe Ferrari not maintained properly is loosing it's power over the years?
What do I know for sure that BMW used to have (or maybe still has?) some factory bonuses and they seems to be fast cars

Too bad that i don't like new M5 (it looks like 520d with MPackage) howerver this is my subjective opinion. Waiting for M8 Cp
Or Ferrari has got horrible QC
