Re: Really the wrong comparison, M5vsCSi is better (archive)

I sold my 92 Csi last year and before that I owned a 92 M5 and I can tell you the Csi has nothing over the M5 in fact they both run the same in all categories, 0-100 kmh(mid 5s), 0-200(low 20s) kmh, standing km(24-25s), 1/4 mile performance(low 14s), top spd etc etc, show me somthing that the 850 Csi runs all over the M5, I assure that you wont. My 850Csi felt faster due to greater torque but it was not except from a rolling start.

The proper comparision would be the M5 vs the 850CSi, both //M cars. Or to not get anyone bent out of shape, both hand built cars starting with the WBS vin. In that case the CSi romps the M5 in every category. Besides, I own both and can tell you from first hand experience.
