And finally, the Chevy SS which is claimed to get 60 in only 5.1 sec beaten like hell by 550i

BMW CLAIMS 550 0-60 is 5.5 sec
AUDI CLAIMS S8 0-60 is 5.1 sec
EDMUNDS.com CLAIMS 550 5.6 sec & S8 5.6sec
Which is more likely to be correct ???
AUDI CLAIMS S8 0-60 is 5.1 sec
EDMUNDS.com CLAIMS 550 5.6 sec & S8 5.6sec

550i is faster and has a better consumption

550isport, 400 lbs is actually a big margin. as you probably know, many of e60's parts are made of aluminum so it's very light, in fact lighter than the mercedes C320 and even the audi A4. To see how much 400lbs makes a difference, try have a few passengers in the car and you'll see the car will feel different. Also, BMW tends to downplay their performance stats, especially the 0-60mph numbers.
