Thats my Swedish forum friend that had this S65 (Now it's sold) It's 100% stock while the M5 is modded by Kelleners = 550-560 HP (Sharper cams and different headers).
S65 weighs 2300 KG so I think it did pretty well so to say

somethings better left unsaid ...
I think something was wrong with that particular S65 .. or that M5 is heavily modded .. I know it's not stock but even modded M5s shouldn't be able to do that to a healthy 65 .. nope sorry.

That was back in the good ole Gustav days.
We were getting a new "M5 beats" vids every other day.
M5 beats 997TT Ruf
M5 beats Lambo Murci
M5 beats speed of thought
M5 beats light, literally sucked into black hole and driver transported back to 1700's.
It got comical after awhile.

Damn, I was just watching this video, and was about to start a thread, lol. M5s do have an incredible top end, hell, they'll go 210 stock, and they get there pretty damn fast. I think definitely the V12 might've been suffering from some heatsoak, but the M5 was also modded, I wonder if the 560 is dyno proven or just thrown out there, I think the M5 is under-rated from the factory a little. But then again so are the S65s, so

Your worst nightmare...
I wouldn't call that a pull or a walk...it pulled barely. Definitely heat soak is an issue. I have a 5 gallon reservoir that takes care of this problem. So in my case still haven't seen the first M5 to walk me...

Haven't you guys learned yet?
Gustav's videos are full of crap. Some of his stuff is ridiculous, like bone stock M5's walking V12tt's, M3's walking E55k's, and on and on. M5 boards are full of major MB haters, and after watching dozens of these things over the years I'm 110% convinced they're totally staged. If you watch enough Gustav vids you can just picture a 318i blowing the doors off a veyron. Actually, my mistake, he probably already made that vid too.

Nice vid! I can totally beleive this... A while back I raced a 08+? S65 on a highway from about a 70 roll. Not saying I smoked it, but at 130 ish I was ahead a car or 2 still pulling pretty strong.. But then again my M6 has alot less weight than the S65 and probably more modded than that M5 in the vid..

I have actually participated and driven in Gustavs M5Board event here in Sweden and I can tell you 110% sure that they are NOT staged by any kind!! But, and here comes the BUT
Guess who holds the camera?
Guess who decides which films that will be added to the M5board on YouTube?
Guess who invites the cars to these events?
Will he ever post those videos like when a tuned BMW M5 E39 lost against AUDI RS4 BiTurbo = NO

Sure thing. He always got the jump on me since he was calling the 'Go.' I caught up and overtook him though. I also can't figure out how to keep the turbos spooled when feathering the throttle setting up for the race. His M5 was making I think 487 rwhp.
