Wait, do you guys think a 428i with the M4 Package could beat the M5 then??

Hold on bro, that is indeed an M4 with the RHSED Option ala Right Hand Side Exhaust Delete

I think you are right! The exhaust is deleted (modified) for better exhaust note I guess

[Just_me]

Expected result. Within the speedlimit its going to be close call but on open road the M5 going to win. As said expected result. My personal choice is the M3.

This is why we see 1500hp Twin Turbo Gallardos beating Carbon Fiber chassis 300hp Hayabusas in highway races.

I've haven't raced an M4 yet, but I have raced a 540hp 3,100lbs Lamborghini Superleggera before and destroyed it when my F10 M5 was still relatively stock.

Mines coming back soon, we can before I sell it for something else or my x6m comes... And that race was two cars and thats probably not even a CP M5 let alone an m6/m6cp... I'm sure if the platform allows turbos and tunes it'll beat stock m5's but if mods were apples to apples the m4/m3 would always be the redheaded stepchild.

Wow, you are getting a new X6M?! That's awesome! Can't wait to check it out!

Sure we can race before you sell it then. I'm going on vacation on next Monday, but I do have my winter tires on the M5 now, so I've been noticing that my car makes way too much torque for the winters. Everytime I mash the throttle on the highway, my DSC starts blinking like crazy. The compound used in the Pilot Alpin's is nothing like the Pilot Super Sports. So maybe we could arrange something in the Spring? But I'm game if you are free this weekend. I haven't played around with my M5 that much lately. Been too busy.

Nope, weight savings

This is extremely incorrect. Weight very much affects straight line performance.

Weight is the primary reason the M3/4 with 140hp less can keep up with the M5 up to 90 or 100mph.

Between 80 and 120 mph straight line performance shifts from being predominantly affected by weight, to predominantly affected by aero. At high speeds it's a function of drag vs power/trq.

I think I'm gonna put the 550 badge on my car and go out and play.

This is correct plus since M3/M4 have the lower axle ratio vs M5/M6 (3.46 vs 3.15) with the same DCT gear ratio and smaller wheels causes better torque (at wheel)/weight ratio which is basically the main factor of acceleration in lower speed.

Only in Cali!!

[shahano]

Can we have the axle ratio of the m4 put on the m5?? now that would be incredible.

It would be useless . The M5 has too much power for it .

That would screw up everything. Dig runs, top speed, sweet spot power delivery, etc. People already complain about traction issues (I don't see the issue BTW).

Stage 5 will have completely different results.

If you ain't first, you are last.
