"A little over 5" and starting in D mode (2nd gear)??? I wonder in D mode if it selects 1st gear if you're giving it throttle while holding it with the brake? Anyone know? I'd be surprised in such a quick time starting in 2nd gear.

Yeah, I just looked up the E550 0-60 and it's 5.4 or so. I know my car's done 0-60 in just a little over 5 and not the mid 5's like claimed. So I think my 535 would def. beat the E550 in a straight line. And I've been doing that in D and not DS, as I just started experimented with DS the past couple of days but haven't pushed it too much.
Assuming you're stock, you'd likely lose to an E550 in a straight line. It's turning in sub 5 second 0-60's on every test. Lowest I've seen is around 4.7 to 4.8 - trust me, it's not only BMW who understate actual performance numbers in their official specs. Either way, the E550 is a very quick car.

Hi Guys It's Ben A While Since I Log Here,Anyways I Raced A MERC e350 And He Pulls Infront Me And If The Way Is longer I Think The Gap Will Be Longer,Anyways That Makes Me Wonder Why BMW Didn't Make A 6 Cylinder Car Equal Or Better Than The Other Mark Like Mercedes And Audis In Stright Line!!!
The 5 Series Is A Good Car Very Good Car ,But I Think She Can Keep Up With The Others Engine Powers .
Bmw Should Do What We Get Used To,Feel we are on top Betwen others .
Thanks For reading ....
Sorry, don't understand that - my tip: Just go to a Mercedes Dealer and take a look at the e class, then go out and take a look at your BMW - now your problem will be solved

By the way two German promotion slogans, so you can come down:

Freude am fahren - Enjoy the ride (Official BMW)

fahren wie andere fliegen - drive as others fly (because of Head up display)

I'm going to take a guess and claim you're not from earth but instead roughly used a google translator to puke out your language in rough english. Along With Using Caps At The Beginning Of Each Word.
