not real. straight line the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is a beast with its launch control. Neither BMW or MB can keep up. M5 will also not get way from E63S that easy.

BMW juicing their press car? The e-hybrid Panamera should have walked both of them and most drag races I've seen so far have the Merc and BMW splitting wins about 50/50 depending on driver and conditions.

Totally. I’ve not seen a single drag race where it was a decisive win like this.

Agree with this statement, possibly even placing the M5 ahead of the E63S 2/3rds of the time. The fact it gapped both cars decisively begs the question of a factory tuned car ala Ferrari.

M5 was found to be in mid 600.
Panamera is crazy heavy, weight difference easy negates the small power advantage it may have over the other two.
As far as this particular M5 beating E63, some examples are slower then norm, some are faster (personally owned a E55 that was "slow" , dealer could not find anything so I replaced it with another and that one was better.
Proof is that in almost every race out there, both these cars win alternatively.

My car is still in for service for said 1/6 misfire CEL. Now needs 5 cold start/drive cycles, of which only two can be done per day. So best case, Wednesday.
I know MB has been advising the dealership on the repairs, but I don't know what specifically has been replaced, if anything, at this point.
