Road and Track's? March 2005 Road Test Summary list the E55 AMG 0-60 mph at 4.2 ; 0-100 in 9.4 with 1/4 mile in 12.4 sec.
The E500 0-60 of 5.9; 0-100 in 14.7 and 1/4 mile in 14.4
R&T does not list the 545i times, but lists the 530i auto at 0-60 in 7.2; 0-100 in 19.2 and the 1/4 mile in 15.5.
The 645i listed at 0-60 in 5.3; 0-100 in 12.8 and 1/4 in 13.7. I have seen the 545i listed in another mag at 0-60 in 5.7 seconds but don't remember the other times or the transmission tested.
Don't race him!!

"Tested at the drag strip, the 545i pulled off a 0-60 mph time of 5.3 seconds and reached the quarter mile in 13.8 sec. at 103.3 mph."
Not bad times for an autobox, but it's no E55!

My Ride: E60 "Stripper"
Now C6 "Stripper"
Borrow an E55 then race your "buddy". Then you'll see who's the better driver! 
By the way i don't like those Jeep commercials because now every Jeep (Hemi or not) wants to challenge me! :thumbsdown:

HMMM......a 545i steptronic 0-60mph in 5.2 seconds?
I wonder what month build/I-drive software it had.
The upcoming 550i should be an absolute brute just like you were saying all along Wolverine!

My Ride: 2003 X5 3.0----->gone
2004 Porsche Cayenne S : Gemballa front and back bodykit, fabspeed bypass pipes, Gemballa exhaust pipes, full option, 20" factory sport design rims------>gone
2005 545i 6-spd manual---->de-badged, CDV removal, Autosolutions short shift kit, resonator removal, premium package, PDC, xenon, almost full options, hardwire V1 install ....looking for mods...
2007 550i 6-spd----> Premium package, sport package, Logic7, heated everything, Rogue Engineering SSK, CDV removal, hardwire V1 install, aFe cold air intake, Custom Magnaflow exhaust....
I can't verify this cause it has yet been tried....but I would like to think that an E 55 chipped...maybe from renntech would beat an M5 since it has so much torque and has a compressor....handling-wise....m5 is still unbeatable though...
