Heres the bottom line: Can it give you a back massage while doing 0-60 in 2.6 seconds (even less for some of us)?
I think not.  |
Most M5s are in the 3s 0-60range, high 2s, unless tuned. If you want to compare tuned vs tuned, the M5 stands no chance, the GTR tune scene is light years ahead.
The M5 is a really fast and comfortable cruiser. The fact that a practical 4dr saloon can match or even beat what a 2 door sports car, can, is amazing. That doesn't necessarily make the M5 a fun car though, unless your idea of fun is mashing the pedal and going straight. It has no steering wheel feedback and not much of drivetrain feedback, due to the torque converter. You're absolutely right about the weight too, can't overcome basic physics.
