Quote "Our quarter-mile time of 14.1 seconds was identical, and in fact the trap speed was up from 100.6 mph to 101.0. The 60-mph-dash was a tenth slower at 5.6 seconds, while times to the higher speeds were improved (21.6 seconds to 120 mph beats the twin-turbo featherweight by six-tenths). That's impressive, especially if the fuel economy ends up equal or better."

BM323's post on comparing the E60 and F10 535i are more accurate only because they were tested on the same day. The test from insideline's 2008 E60 and 2011 F10 are almost three years apart as well as different temperatures and settings so it's not an apples to apples comparision like Motortrends comparo.
