550's vs M3's ? Straight line comparison...

Just curious for those of you guys with the N63 and N63TU 550s who've ran against any E9X M3's before. On paper the M3 has more power against the N63 but less torque while the 550 has more torque but much higher curb weight. The N63TU 550's have more power and more torque but again with much higher curb weight especially if you are xdrive.

The other night I my chance to compare straight line acceleration with my JB tuned N63TU 550i against a E93 M3 vert at the track and I was shocked at the results. Lets just say while both maintaining steady speed and we punch it.......at the end I was multiple car lengths in front of the M. Given we have such a weight disadvantage i wasn't sure my power advantage would give me the win but it did......by a landslide too.

Curious what other 550's have experience with other cars on the road....
