True dat. Just hope and pray the M5 you are up against isn't supercharged as well. 
Most likely, the M5 owner will think his/her M5 is fast enough stock to beat a plain old e60 regardless of the model. 95% of the time they'll be right. It's just that one 5% of the time...

My Ride: E60 M5, F85 X5M
I was under the impression that a stock M5 would still beat any supercharger out there. Am I wrong?
And I agree that no car is fast enough so in my wishful thinking of getting an M5, I would definitely modify it also..... it never ends....

I've actually been fantasizing about adding nitrous...for those special occasions...when no babies are in the back seat of course!

I have seen 469HP/450lb-ft thrown around for a supercharger. Change the differential to a final drive ratio of 3.73. I think with these two mods a 550/545 can beat a M5 from 0 - 60 as well as the 1/4 mile. What are other people's opinion on this?

Hey jiio do you think VF supercharger would give us a discount if we get 3 superchargers?

That's not an opinion whether the supercharged 550/545 can beat a M5.
Ah details details... Yes it can.
Anyone seen jimmy540's SC 540i?
