As soon as I hopped on the highway some Jeep SRT wanted to go. My M5 was cold.. I wasn't going to rape it for a Jeep.

Then a B7 came running up and spotted me. We stayed close until there was a safe area to have a go.

'13 M5: 560hp / 500tq
'14 B7: 540hp / 540tq

Started at top of 3rd at almost 80mph. Ended at maybe around 150mph to begin slowing down for traffic ahead.

I was alone in the car and my focus was on driving and nothing else. So these are estimates by every time I glanced at my HUD.

Began pulling on the B7 at about 100. Half car length before 120 and about 1.5-2 car lengths by 150.

The B7 is an awesome car. It was stock and it sounded very, very nice. Was a good driver as well, not easy to come by a decent driver these days. We did three horns. He false started and we quickly reset and went again.

In 2006 I owned a E60 M5 and a 2007 Alpina B7. They were always dead even until 100-120 where the M5 (V10) would pull away and take off.

Much respect for the B7, a car that's 300lbs heavier, a little down on power, and it still keeps up with the M5 pretty well. Alpina is one of my favorite brands.
