Most performance metrics? What do you mean? The current M5 runs the quarter in upper 11s and can trap 122-124mph.....not to mention its suspension and handling setup. The new 550xi will trap above 124 and corner better then the current M5?
Yes, that's what he is saying. I don't think it'll be faster. Probably somewhat close though. It's still 100 horsepower shy of the m5 so yeah.
