2. E60 M5 - An E60 555 will be too close to the performance of the E60 M5.
it will not be when they bring out the face lift M5 with over 550hp

Yes, but you would need only 15 minutes and ?700 to make it faster than the M5 .
Once you get over 400 ft/lbs with a less that 4000 lb car, the M5's locking rear differential becomes more important than more power for 0-60 runs.

Indeed, that's why I mentioned the tuning.

However, a steptronic 545i would be faster than both!
