I think there needs to be a caveat to the statement made in the original post. It should say "fastest 0-60", obviously due to the X-drive.
The E60 M5 will probably still out accelerate it on the highway, such as in a passing situation. Also when they claimed the E60 M5 the fastest production sedan, it was mainly due to the fact it could hit 200+ MPH with the limiter removed. The E60 M5 had a lot better HP/weight ratio, but like the F10 M5, wastes a lot of time as it struggles for traction from a stop due to its 2wd configuration.
This will be a fast car no doubt, but let's keep things in perspective.
