A low-Dyno on a BMW -that's a rarity!
But this is a British mag right?

But the car got a crazy 0-100kmh, 4.32s without launch control. It was 0.65s faster than the E63. And the E63 was showing higher dyno figures (relative to stated) -go figure.

The larger displacement of the E63 cries out for an output boost /tune. Seems more precarious with the M5, you would want to keep it stock, BMW has wrung out a lot performance from the engine already.
