Didn't expect the XMonsters to outlap the E60 M5...even more impressive is the F10 M5 comparison with the Panamera Turbo S and E63 AMG w/performance pack...

Porsche Panamera Turbo S 1:38.13
BMW F10 M5 1:38.90
Mercedes E63 AMG PP 1:40.59

It's pretty mind-numbing that X5M was faster than the last gen hard-core M5.

Another amazing point is that the M5 will cost around $90,000USD and has the performance to run neck to neck with Panamera Turbo S which starts out at $173,200USD

M is the best letter in the alphabet, afterall!
