I wouldn't bet the farm on the race.

Published 0-60 times are 5.9 for the 745i and 6.1 for the S500. He's got about 30 HP and a gear on you, but a couple hundred pounds extra weight.

when i said 05 i meant 2005 if i was going to say 5 series i wouldnt have said 05 ...i would have said 5 series. plus where not talking about 5 series why would i mention a 5series when were comparing a the 745 to s500 .. but the answer to ur question is that you cannot compare the two because its two different classes....
