They had to do something like that.

Otherwise, it wasn't worth the job!

So - the M5 is slower, uses more gas, not refined enough, overly complex and loses to a "tuner" car...

I like it..

I've uploaded a video of this test in the video vault, hope to see it pop-up within a few days. Cars are too different in character to compare really.
