or have some actual acceleration calculators working for you? I'm assuming 4300 +/- lbs at 568 HP using Patrick Hale's formula. The interesting thing is you don't know the actual HP or weight yet. If a stage 1 f10 550i is conceiveable of doing a low 12's, then there's not much incentive to buy an M5 which has a possible $20K+ premium over the 550i.

Man, are you guys just pulling numbers out of the rear end or have some actual acceleration calculators working for you? I'm assuming 4300 +/- lbs at 568 HP using Patrick Hale's formula. The interesting thing is you don't know the actual HP or weight yet.

An M5 or similar flagship models from other brands is more than just acceleration.
