What do you think!?

What I noticed:
Alpina B5: Verbrauch ECE (Stadt/Land/Ø) 18.6/8.7/12.3 l/100 km 500 hp, 700 NM
BMW M5: Innerorts/Ausserorts/Kombiniert 22.7/10.2/14.8 l/100 km 507 hp, 520 NM

The above with Turbocharging. Below NA. What more can I say, is it a cheat to have turbos? Or are FI simply way much better? Both 4.7 to 100 km/h. You feel more power, you don't need to shift down as modern turbos have variable turbogeometry. Inredible are the turbo engines nowadays. Ok, when the engine is up in high revs, you certainly get fast engine responce from M5. But also that is the case with a modern refined turboengines. Whould be fun to find out!
