BMW always goes conservative on the standing start acceleration times in their spec sheets. I guarantee you the new 535 will be as fast or faster than the E60 535. Its just physics... the new car is a bit lighter, has more gears, and the same peak power output.
Don't worry... put it this way: BMW has never made a new car lesser than the old one in terms of performance. Why would they start with the model that will be the bread and butter of the 5-series line up in their biggest market? Answer is they won't and the car will outperform the previous generation. In any case, there are many things more important than standing start times!
