E55 w/ goods, Z32 Project underway
Does anyone truly believe that once a mod'd E55 beats a stroked M5, the argument will be over?
First we have stock vs stock, where most sources show the e55 with the edge, not that it matters as many E55 owners upgrade .
Then we have the fact the the E55 is easy to extract more hp vs the M5, no arguments read there
Then we have open challenges (3 so far?) for a mod'd E55 vs a mod'd M5. No M5 has stepped up, for good reason, unless they are pushing cheater gas.
Now we have hidden stroked M5's. Still nothing..

Also, agreed, 110mph rolls are ridiculous lol.
Back to the OP, bottom line is that the E55 spanks the M5. M5 is a bit faster above 125 or so. Modded E55 vs Modded M5 will result in the E55 beating the **** out of the M5. I've seen it myself...and I'm a former M5 owner! The M5 is a "more balanced" car though. But the ***** torque was enough reason for me to leave the band. Not to mention the 2 transmission failures.

06 BMW M5 and 03 MB SL55 AMG
With the upcoming F10 M5 and E55TT 5.5, I'm sure that with the M5's new Double Clutch 7 speed or even 8 speed transmission and lower weight (I'm willing to bet that the F10 M5 will be lighter than the next E55 TT), the F10 M5 will not only beat it around corners but also on straightline.
Get at BMW M and at me guys.

Catching up in what?? Straightline? I'm pretty sure that the E60 M5 and E63 M6 are more than enough challenges for the W211 E55 AMG and E63 AMG etc. Even in straightline. Hahahh!

Seems to me M5 owners are nothing but a bunch of little pussies right about now.
