Race the two before making the claim John. I was in Bremerton with Puget Sound BMW club in 1999 with my 1991 Dinan chipped M5. I rode in a B7 6'er coupe, 330 hp, it felt way faster but in reality when we were lapping my M5 which doesnt feel all that fast was more than a match for the old blue B7. Dont underestimate the M5 which is so refined it masks speed. I also ran quite easily with a 1981 turbo Alpina sedan on the same day. Much, much faster, no chance.

My 1985 Alpina B7 turbo coupe is much, much faster.
