Even though the M5 won, this video is still a reminder that the greater availability of aftermarket performance parts and tunes for the B58 platform means the 540i can easily be made faster than the 550i with a few mods.

127mph trap speed for the 540 suggests it's actually nearer 650hp. Would explain why it was outgunned.
