BMW quotes the 0-100kph time! witch is 62.6mph

The M5 is quoted by BMW (look at the German site) as 5.3seconds, while the American site (which quotes the 0-60time says 4.8seconds

The German site says 5.2seconds for the M3, but again, this is 0-62.6mph...
if you look at the difference in acceleration, this ~3mph takes ~0.3-0.4 seconds...thus the M3 has a 0-60time of ~4.9 (a conservative figure)

Trust me, if BMW claims its faster than the M5, it will be faster than the M5.
