that's why it isn't any faster
The performance stats suggest that the E90 M3 is quicker than the E39 M5.
The M3 does 0-60 in 4.4 compared to 4.9 for the M5.
The M3 does 0-100 in 9.7 compared to 10.8 for the M5.

you also need to accept that the E39 is, by common consent, one of the top three or so handling/performing big saloons ever made

had a 911 driver come up to me in the pits demanding to know what I had done to my S2000. It was stock. He thought his car was far superior to the S2000. He was wrong.
What model 911 did the demanding man drive?

Don't get too upset, I get told quoted figures for my Lotus are not achievable

First one is incorrect, second one is incorrect because of the first, I don't know what the 3rd one is and the 4th
I could walk quicker.

I agree it's up there at the top and it's a car I'd love to own... if I could stomach the running cost gamble!
You are right about the E90M3 Vs E39M5 - New M3 has a bit of a weight advantage.
