I don't think BMW messed up but I do think they need to get on board with making their cars lighter. Audi, Porsche, and Mercedes are all focusing on that now.
E 63 is faster than the M5 with the performance package (in a straight line).

Not true, have raced e63 and cls63 many many times and m5 has slight advantage and starts walking both of them over 100mph.
