Nice scan, thank's.
It sounds wired that the E55 did 0-60 in 4.2 sec and that it's faster than the M5 in all others mesaures.

Thanks Minacious ! It's really appreciated this MT scan. Now, you can read it. My choice in this comparison is definitively the BMW E60 M5. 8)

I think the M5 will turn around the situation over a 100mph ...
but dayum....4.2 to 60 that's some impressive resume for the E55.

i think m5 should be faster because of its clever 7 speed gearbox and aggresive engine. we will see it after the real tests
