Stock dyno numbers for Comp Package
What is the final consensus for stock comp package's dyno numbers? I have seen 525-550 whp and ~500 torque for the stock car, is comp package simply 15 hp higher?

My understanding was the comp package increased the rpm at which max torque was reached by 250 rpm, resulting in 15 more HP and doesn't increase turbo boost. So my guess would be that comp package is only a small number of ponies larger.
The M5 in general seems to dyno higher than one would expect, based on factory ratings. On the M3 board, Regular_Guy tracks M3 dyno results in a database and we've calculated numbers based on a large number of samples. I haven't seen anything done for the M5 but maybe there is? Pat |

Holy ****. That is like 660hp and 580 ft/lb torque. No wonder this car can pull 2 car lengths on E63 AMG-S after 60mph and can do 1/4 mile faster than Z06/ZR1. That power is just enormous.
Can you explain if the HP difference is very obvious with the CP? Makes my wait even more difficult! |

But better than Exec No way - I wouldn't drive this car without exec. period So exec then anything else. .. Because car is so fun without CP anyway and you get probably 10% extra if that much Track fun but Day to Day EXEC is a lot more than 10% feedback - B&O is nice but sure can live without it... As I am without Driver Assistance and rarely miss it.. |

Upgrade to 343s with CP not free in all markets (which makes sense if forged v's cast).
An M5 with CP is comfortable, but occasionally firm on some surfaces - I'd image an M6GC with CP is just about the prefect ride/handling balance in this sort of car (with the added benefit of lower CoG, more so with the CF roof). |

I'm telling you from personal experience with both cars and from a recent R&T article which tested them against each other: the E63 is faster 0-60, 0-100, 0-130, and in the 1/4 mile et and trap speed and it is substantially so. The M5 is an awesome car, and I own one, but it won't take the E63. Pat |

R&T is a great mag but my times on the street beat their test times using a VBOX. If i had a closed track and I was a professional driver the times would be significantly better. Take what you read with a grain of salt.

This is also my personal experience with both cars. The E63 sAMG has many problems and I no longer own mine but there is just no way the M5 is a faster accelerating car, when both are stock. I don't understand why this would be controversial. I'm sure there other cars faster than an M5. It doesn't make the M5 less of a car. If it helps, I can identify a whole bunch of areas in which the M5 is a far better car than the E63. Pat |

I agree E63S Can be faster which is "Better" but that is not the whole story but rather a part of it!! Speed is a very important aspect of a car though and I believe it will be fun to drive to but as fun I don't know and I heard "more confidence inspiring" comment which is another way of saying less challenging or us as enthusiasts less fun if you will, but I personally don't find it annoying or embarrassing if MB the company that has been making cars since late 1800's and the first car company in the world knows how to make such a good car actually playing catch up with each other is so much fun to witness and we should be thankful that we are able to savor both (Several) tastes and remember in 1948 or so MB almost bought out BMW - But my choice was M5 because YES I am a fan but for instance I believe that Panamera Turbo S is a better car and again not offended , much more expensive car granted - I had MB before and test drove many AMGs and many Audi S's and they just don't speak to me the way BMW M5 does and that may be this round - at least and I have zero problem swapping to another car if it speaks to me closer and its revs are on my pulse as this M5 or let me say more and looks as good and as reliable and similarly priced and till then I am keeping my M5 because I have a feeling that car will be next M5, LOL Cheers Vic55 was right I am so predictable - My 2 cents Last edited by soooma; 03-24-2014 at 07:54 PM.. |

Its not controversial. R&T results are sub par thats all. I have owned a handful of cars faster then the M5. No issues with a car being faster then the M5.
