Many ways to race these cars (dig, roll, etc.) but they only presented two. Doesn't mean the two they chose are not legit, just means they only picked these two races. Like others have said, from a roll the M550i would be smoked. That's what happens when this type of HP takes over. It's nice to see more than write ups on how the M550i is the quickest 5-series ever. BMW made the claim and knew videos like this would test the claimed figures -- so I'm not too surprised by the drag race.

By the way, this says nothing negative about last generation's F10 M5. New generation cars are supposed to be better and the AWD technology + lighter body makes the M550i a nice improvement. Put the 2018 M5 against either of these cars and the gap will be massive. Might we have this same conversation for the next gen M340i xdrive and the current gen F80 M3?
