And I agree. Acceleration numbers are so close that we'll see them back and forth.
SA test driver said the new M5 is the best M car in his opinion. It is almost as quick as 458 Italia on Hockenheim. BMW has corrected F10 M5's main problem which was braking (we all know F10 never really lacked in power) on track. He was really impressed with new M5's braking ability.

An interesting note, according to SA M5's launch control can't be used repeatedly like the AMG and Porsche, it need a brief cooling down period. Maybe new owners can verify this.
