Is the highlighted portion an estimation or fact?
Assuming Car & Driver, which has been giving Audi rave reviews (not trying to undermine Audi here) was being objective during the M5 vs E63 vs S6 comparo, there was definitely something up with the M5 they got. The things they criticized the M5 for (namely the suspension, steering and brakes) were the things the M6 convertible had no problems with. This is very peculiar because they have the same exact hardware. Just saying, maybe the test car they had was beaten and flogged to death by other journalists by the time they got around to testing it whereas they most likely had a fresh example of the M6 since it was released later. Not trying to pick a fight, just pointing out things that don't seem right.
