I find it very interesting the Lincoln uses the same tires that are standard on the M5 and they best BMW's numbers. Tires make a huge difference in these performance tests. I've made the argument in the past, the limitation on BMW xDrive cars isn't the xDrive or the extra 125lbs, it's their lousy all-season grand touring tires. I put Michelin PSS (and forged wheels) on my 550 and it completely transformed the car in the twisties.
