Rolling test up to 130~with stock e60 M5 . E63 couldnt pull away.
Hi guys ~ I was on my way up to the infeneon race way up at SONOMA.
with my friend who has E60 M5 with stock ECU stock air filter with Xpipe and
eisenmann race end, 20 inch forged 3p wheels.
As we did a rolling from 50miles up to 130 we went side by side. WTF????
I thought 63 is way faster from the standing still to rolling . !! No????????
I mean I did start from 4th gear and M5 was at 3rd gear with D5 Setting.
I'm on my way to take out the straight pipe where stock H pipe used to be
and install X pipe. My car is dead stock apart from sec CAT and resonator
removed .... Looks like its getting close to do a ECU re flash...
Then again I thought stock E63 was faster enough to beat stock E60 M5 .

My friend and I go at it all the time...we have about 7 videos (6 have yet to be uploaded) but here's one of them from 2nd gear 3500rpm for me
From a dig, it's hard to beat an AMG because of the TQ difference. We did a 50-160mph last Saturday night and it was about a 2-3 car gap towards the end (he fell behind)...I'll try to upload the GoPro video on my youtube account.

You might like this. It's not an E63 but the second run is from 50mph-150mph and I was in 2nd gear. My car has the camera. And these are the two fastest E55's in South Florida.

The mod list was pretty unclear so here's a better depiction of our run last Saturday since a few things have changed since the video posted:
E60 M5 (6speed manual)
- 21" forged wheels
- 1 passenger (115 pounds)
- RPi Scoops
- BMC Air Filters
- Block-off plates
- 2nd cat delete (section 1)
- Meisterschaft X pipe (section 2)
- Meisterschaft GT2 Exhaust (section 3)
- Macht Schnell Pulley
08' E63 AMG 7spd
- 2nd cat delete
- Custom X-pipe
- K&N drop-in filters
- 20" Vossen wheels
We ran from approximately 50mph both in 2nd gear. I accelerated about half-a-second after him so he pulled 1/2 car length immediately. Here's what he said regarding that race:
- M5 pulled from 1/2 - 1 car length every time he hit redline at about 7000 rpm (my redline is 8250)
- Towards the end (140mph+) the gap was increasing (M5 pulling away)

e55
When I was bone stock m5's were not a problem for me to beat, and after i did my pulley 5 cars lengths was the outcome on a modified m5's. Most people with e55 need to learn to drive properly IMO. Just pressing the gas is not enough, you need to be in the right gear, mode, and IATs as cool as possible.

You have a bigger engine than I do, so if done right it should sound nastier than mine. Remember I have EC long tubes, 3 inch pipes, magnaflow x pipe, no cats, no resonater and NO mufflers. Some people don't like it but I do.
