Carwow is a magazine and is pretty darn consistent with results. It is to be expected. CarandDriver was doing different octane of fuel for the E63S and M5 F90, Carwow tested the cars at the same day, time, and with the same fuel. The E63 S is 50kg heavier, but it has a bucket load more torque and some extra power. I don't see this as a bad showing for BMW, rather it is quite impressive that it was this close.
