Got a short run vs F10 M5 today
So I'm on the way home from total wine, stocking up. And I run across this very nice blue m5 with blue calipers with temp tags going down beach blvd. surprisingly there was only a car in my lane but a bit ahead. I teased him to play, dropped it into second at 50 and pulled a half car to let him know I was there. I wasn't sure if he was game, so I just hovered next to him. Well he was , and he hit it and got the jump. I hit it still in second and quickly caught back up side by side. Then unfortunately had to brake for the slower SUV in my lane. I was def pulling back past him tho. So I go around the SUV and get back over and he hits it again and so do I but he was already in front and no more room so we both shut it down. He turned into a car wash and I followed to see if he wanted the chat but nope. I had my iPhone ready to record but it happened so fast I never hit record 
.
I was surprised with the exhaust tone, I could hear it with windows up. Considering reading they have the engine tone put out the stereo I figured it was quite and sounded like crap. But it wasn't bad.

.....Never can seem to run across anything of interest while I'm driving the '55....Haven't come across an M5 yet.

Since I use my F10 M5 as a daily driver, not a day goes by without someone trying to race me ... Everything is possible in a street race ... but if the M5 driver is prepared, it will walk an E55. The M5's engine has not only torque right above idle, but pulls big time up top to 7200 rpm. DCT has no torque interruption between shifts, is lightning quick and is better geared compared to the E55's automatic transmission. Even though the M5 is no light weight, it's just a more efficient package.

A stock E should be able to hang/beat with the manual version and a slightly modded one with the DCT...

My F10 M5 trapped 120.87mph in 2K'+ DA with just K&N drop-in filters and the race mufflers....without using launch control.
