Found this video on Youtube. Modded E92 M3 vs Modded E60 M5.

M3 did surprisingly well.

Is it really down. Just tried it, it worked for me. I believe the power to weight ratio is still in favor of the M5, I could be wrong though. Too lazy to do the calculations.

That is MPower82's car (Eddie) against member DLSJ5 M3 (M5board). Here's the thread on M5board: http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/e60-m5-e6...3-vs-beast.html

Did the M3 owner ever say what his car dynoed at?

I know a M3post member just dynoed at 392 whp. With exhaust, pulley, flash, drop-in filter, scoops. These new M3's are responding very well to simple bolt-on mods.
