I was there. The M5 hits almost 270kph (indicated) at the end of the main straight. The M3 hits 240kph, so big difference there.

Over a lap the difference isnĀ“t so great. Plus, at that height, the M5 limps after a couple of laps and the M3 can go all day.
Limps huh...
For a second my M3 was feeling a bit inferior. Not anymore.
