It sound like that you have not driven a E60
535i is no match to a M5 on the track.

Actually...it sounds more like he hasn't driven a M5. Have you by chance been to Disney World? There is a ride called the "Rockin' Rollercoaster". At the beginning of that ride, you get slammed from 0 to 60ish mph in about 3 seconds. If you can't get a ride in a M5, try the Rockin' Rollercoaster..it's about the same thing...
I have not been on the Rockin' Rollercoaster but I have been on a ride some thing like that, dose 0-60 in under 3 sec and wow I loved it.
I bet the atom feel like that.

I own the 550i...My girlfriend owns an M5 and I just raced both of them Sunday. There is no comparison. M5 is like a jet fighter and the 550i is a twin engine airplane.

Hmm so lets make it a bit more interesting...
how tuned would a 535 (or 55o) have to be to beat an M5 around a track? (straight line, im guessing, is pretty much out of the question)

) But that's future-speak. In the here-and-now, a mild supercharging would put a 550i Sport right in the mix.
