No. Where? I said that the E55 is heavier because of one thing. I said also that M5 is faster. Also the 5 has a stronger engine and certainly faster at higher speed due to highrevving and close gearing. I have never said anything about M5 outperforms E55 only because E-class is contructed to withstand a crash better. I have no doubts the M5 is great! But I'm glad there will be choices! There would be no 500+ hp M5 V10 without the existance of E55 (and no E55 without the E39 M5)!
