An '02 M5 had 394hp and limited slip. Best for it was 4.6.
My '05 550i with sport auto has a best time of 4.9.
The Z4 35i DCT best time is 4.8. Although it doesn't feel as quick as the 550i.
Of all the cars, the M5 felt the quickest. Its problem was smoking the tires if too aggressive. But the differences are so minimal that I'd probably not be consistently faster in one over the other.
Just noticed that you had a 3000GT! Have you ever been on 3si? I had a 92 SL

To everyone else, how are you guys getting these ridiculously high MPG numbers? I think the EPA rating is 17 city / 24 highway. I've been averaging about 17 mpg. But then again it's all stop and go city driving for my 3 mile commute to work
