Food for thought,you can't really trust magazine 1/4mi #'s as they don't post track conditions,weather conditions,track altitude,DA,etc which all play a major role. Back in '07 when Mercedes replaced the monster W211 E55 AMG(S/C) w the W211 E63 AMG(N/A) the forums where blasting the underwhelming 1/4mi numbers of the E63 saying it was a failure and a step backwards from the E55. Magazines were printing 1/4mi times from 12.3-12.6 for the E63.
I had to replace my '05 E55(drunk driver hit my wife at a red light and totaled it) w a new '07 E63. First thing I did after break-in was run it at a private track rental. Boom. 11.95@118. 100% stock. Multiple 11.9X@117-118mph all day. I think I was responsible for a spike in E63 sales immediately afterwards once I posted vids/slips on the forums that evening lol.

Wow thats crazy!
Honestly I trust you, and i hope its true. The 2020 M550 we have is my parents car, and so I want to take it to the drag strip on a good day someday and test it out.
I actually just today got to experience a ride in a 2016 audi rs7 for the first time ever, and... I'm so confused.
The 2020 M550i feels fast. Really fast. And it definitely is fast theres no debating that.
But the 2016 RS7, idk. It just feels so much faster.
Hp and torque and weight between the two cars are almost identical. Both are all wheel drive and similar cars in size and stuff. But, the audi feels so much faster (straight line performance im talking about). How can that be?
Like if no one told me any performance numbers or anything, and I had to guess a 1/4 mile time from just the gut feeling of riding in these two cars, I'd guess 11.5ish for the audi and 12.0ish for the BMW. The fact that the BMW runs 11.46 @ 121 mph makes sense on paper when you consider the hp and torque and weight etc. But the feeling, idk. 11.46 is FAST. The rs7 feels FAST. The m550 feels fast. I know I sound like an idiot right now haha but hopefully you know what I mean.
I cant wait to take both my buddies rs7 and my parents m550 to the strip and run them to see how it goes. I'll post a link here when I do!
