stock E60 M5 vs. stock E90 335 vids.

Seems as if a stock 335 gives the v10 M5 a bit of trouble..

Enjoy..

Description says they were at 5500ft of elevation, causing more power loss for the NA engine. Plus it looks like there are 3 people in the M5.

I also wonder if the M5 was in 500hp mode.

That is a chipped 335i, and at altitude (as mentioned).

Do you know for sure? 0-60 for both cars stock are quite close. 4.5(m5) vs 4.8(335). The E60 M5 will indeed pull strong in the quarter. From a roll, the M5 will pull slowly ahead..

From a roll, the 335 will get murdered, stock for stock. We are talking 300 vs 500hp here and 4 extra cylinders. The M5 is a 200 mph car.

Interesting videos though.

How many cars can take out a stock 500hp 2006 Mustang Cobra? Heck, a Stock c6 Vette with 400hp mops that car up. Reason....Weight. A 335 will not be "murdered" by an M5.. It will die slowly.

bit too optimistic to believe (assuming stock) 335 can hang with a V10 M5

Road and Track hit 4.1 sec in 0-60 with the new M5, 335 cant come close to that

From a roll is where the M5 shines. Weigh is less of a concern once you're rolling, and the M5's makes most of its power near redline. I'm not surprised if the 335i is chipped if what picus said is true.

Weight has nothing to do with racing a car from a roll or at top speed. What you need is more power and better aerodynamics.

Up until the speed where the engine can't overcome the aerodynamic drag of the car, more weight will always negatively affect the acceleration rate of the car.
