I doubt the M5 will come close to the Panamera Turbo on the track, let alone the Turbo S.

Remember the Turbo STARTS at 136k (the prefigured "sport" version ends up at 154k) and the Turbo S starts at 173k (sport at 176k), so really these cars do not seem to be in the same league as the M5 (I hope).

I just watched a rerun of top gear comparing the Maserati quattrosporte, the Panamera turbo and the Aston 4 door (forget the name). These are 4 seater super cars. IMO different than the M5.

BMW didn't intend for the M5 to be in super car category. Currently, BMW doesn't make a super car.
