OP you'll need stage 3 turbos, supporting mods and still your best shot will be on a 60+ roll. Dig you have no chance with all the mods in the world.

Pure turbos, Downpipes and a tune should take care of a stock M5.

Renntech hit 10.6 with tune only

It says 10.88 in the table below. Dunno I remember them saying they ran a 10.6 with turbos.

Munis doesn't really know what he's talking about. Ever.

No idea where that came from but ok. My original point still stands though that M cars tunes better than AMGs.

I dont want to sound like a jerk but this thread is ridiculous. Who cares if your friends m5 is faster? Like everyone’s saying, there will always be faster cars. Why try to beat your friends m5? The c63S sounds better, looks better, is more fun to drive, and is overall in my opinion a better car. Faster, maybe not but it doesn’t matter. I have an f10 m5 and have driven the f90. Ill take the C63S all day every day over both

The new c63s is having sound issues. Not even close to sounding as good as an M5 F90

E550 Coupe
I have both a F90 M5 and a 2019 C63S coupe. The M5 is definitely faster in almost every situation, but the two cars excel at different things. Left in normal AWD mode, the M5 is a super fast sport sedan that can be rewarding to drive but also behaves like a proper sedan on long highway trips. I just got back from an 8 hour roundtrip in it. There's no hiding it's a big car, but it seems to drive smaller than it is most of the time. It's extremely quiet and quite the sleeper when people miss the badges and mistake it for a normal 5 series.

The C63S loves to rotate into corners and sounds fantastic. It does have some traction issues, but that adds to the character once you get comfortable with how it's going to respond to throttle. It certainly doesn't look like a normal C coupe and people seem to really think it's something special. I traded in a Jaguar F-Type R for it, and the build quality is so much better! Maybe its the point of reference, but it seems so much more solid.

The surprising thing for me about the M5 has been just how fast it always seems. The transmission is quick and really smooth. You don't catch it on its heels like you can the one in the C63S. I also happen to have a new NSX that I drive as often as I can. It goes around a corner like nothing I've ever driven, but the M5 still feels like it out accelerates it in a straight line. The bottom line is that every car has pluses and minuses but losing a drag race isn't really one of them in my book.

Well said! I just sold my 2018 C63s and it replaced with a 2019 M5. Living in Wisconsin I wanted an AWD car that I could drive all year round and still enjoy some power. One thing I have noticed is the lack of reaction I get from other drivers with the M5. When I would take out the AMG someone was always giving me a thumbs up, smile or trying to race. So far with the M5 nothing. The M5 to me seems more refined with its power delivery while the AMG was raw and aggressive. Bottom line is both are amazing cars

This thread makes me laugh. Although it’s reminded me how much the F10 M5s have fallen in price...2016 CPO under 15k miles for less than $60k...

hmmmmmmmm...
