Those mods listed aren't really going to do anything on that M5. Is that supposed to be 500hp? I don't think, exhaust, intake etc you listed is going to give 50hp on that car..hardly does anything even with tuning. Same is true for the E46 M3.

Good run.

A stock M3 with a PERFECT launch can keep up with an M5 to 80 if the M5 doesn't use launch control and had all the electro nannies on, In 400/450 hp mode, Had a girl driving afraid to rev it past 6K because it screams, or had 5 people in the car plus 2 in the trunk. You're talking about a low 4 sec 0-60 trapping 115 mph vs.

i agree....m3 is no match for the e60 m5 running at it's full potential. it's like saying that my e55 will slowly walk the m3 past 80. me and all the friends (with m3's and e39 m5's) would highly disagree. lets say that with everyone at 40mph, I let 2 m3's and a e39 m5 hit it, i waited about 2 secs, then shot past them when they were ~ 120, and i was going 145.
