It cracks me up reading some of the excuses the BMW fanboy make about not being the right car to compare to, bringing up non-exsting cars, etc.

Let's face it, the M5 amd M6 are porky car by industry standard. The current 5 series weights more than an AWD Audi A6 for crying out loud! Instead of making excuses, we should be questioning why are BMW making these cars so heavy. Making more power out of an engine is child's play. Real acomplishments is to make a lighweight chasis.

Instead of saving money by recycling the 7 series platform, BMW should have spent the money to develop a lightweight platform for the 5/6 series. BMW will continue to lose comparison test to the competition until they do so.
