M5 destroys both of them in the 1/4 mile IF you know how to use the M5 Launch Control. It's not easy like a DCT. If you do not, the others will win. You have to build boost at the launch and some rookie mag testers don't have that skill set. Some do like Car and Driver.

Didn't C&D's instrument test produce 2.8s to 60 for the F90? It may just be me, but even if the M5 driver botched the launch he still probably did it in 3.5 seconds, and it's hard to call that a "dusting".

No one has been able to achieve stock 10.9@129 C&D times thus far, we have jb4 tunes still running 11s.
It can’t all be about launch control.... Hope it improves... |

You are modified and you basically ran a stocktime. I am sure the mph will be there with the jb4 etc but so far not the ET |

Personally I don't give a toss if the E63s is faster or not, I will never put my M5 to the test, I just enjoy driving it. ....
nothing in it.

44X has a consistent reaction time, but still needs work. With practice should be able to cut a better light than .5xx

These videos are the epitome of dishonest/incompetent "reviewing." CarWow did the same thing. In all the other tests the Bimmer sh*ts on the Merc but these two can't launch the thing properly and give ammo due the stupid Merc fanboys. |

Frankly my dear , I don't give a dam..... I walked away from a special order loaded e63s to my M5, and never looked back.
and sorry, the Panamera is still ugly, even with the slight face lifts it went thru in recent years. I find the M5 to be an all around more fun and versatile 4 wheels missle. |

Lot of BMW Kool-Aid has been consumed out there.
Pretty clear the launch was botched. But not being able to close the gap..gap looks like it widened as the run progressed. That seems like a fail. Maybe they should do it like 3 times...maybe switch up drivers. I mean really, it can't be true. The M5 is the superior Saloon Car. Right?
