Also we're not taking about speed here but "time". A stock M550i runs Laguna Seca in 1:45 an F90 M5 in 1:39, go figure.

Do you just make arguments based on numbers? Have you ever driven the M550i? The M5? I own both.......there is definitely a difference and I was a HUGE M550i fanboy when that car came out and still am.....but besides speed, it's not that close to the M5.
Usain Bolt is fast.....but that alone doesn't mean he would be an All-Pro NFL WR. He would never even be close. |
Did you read any of my arguments to understand my context or just judging by my single post?
Le me explain something to you, in performance and racing - track times and trap speed is ALL that matters. Or what's the point of the M2CS, the 39 more hp lol? If I was really a numbers only guy I would say something ignorant like "bro the M5 has 144 more horsepower than the M550i and a 0-69 in 3.1675 seconds, bro". ...and yes we know you're M5 slaloms better than the M550i through those curves on your way home from work.
Never did I once say the M550i is a superior car to the M5 or any of the cross platforms, or that it's meant to overachieve over the Flagship M's whatsoever. Logic dictates that the M5 can be tuned also to McLaren numbers. My entire argument is that the gap is bridged between the M550i / 340i compared to M's (let me add those lines for you too ///M), and that these are worthy cars of the M moniker and BMW GmbH no matter how butthurt //////M you are about it.
