It was a White E60 550i with an M front bumper. Kinda fun, actually got 1.5 car lengths on me from the light then ran you down and passed at "M" light speed.
Normally don't share "race" stories but I'm bored.

Good thing that your M5 out ran the 550i 
The 550i prob got Sprint Booster... Which explained why it got 1.5 car lenghts on your M5 at start

Haha so did that mean you were in 400hp mode when you started off?

I'll bet the lower rpm torque of the M5 vs 550 would result in a faster start for the 550...... but there's more to a race than the start.........

Remember, a chipped 535 is just as fast as an M5...
...if you push them both off a cliff, they'll hit the ground at the same time.

Now don't jump on stupid things saying "oh whell another one that thinks otherwise". No i do think so and it is obvious that the 535d is slower than a 545i and in other words: 535d<545i<550i<<M5 (all things stock). So i don't really know what your post is saying, how, and why in this thread and in this discussion.
I can think of only some twisted mind or frustrations or whatever stuff.
