Now this is something I didn`t expect of the E63 with the torque band
reached at over 4200rpm, it still has the same tire shreading talent as the E55!

Again this is the advantage of good turque output reached at higher rpm`s.
Just think, the M5s` 383lb-ft of torque might not sound like much but it`s reached at
6100rpm which a hell of a lot of leg room to work with!
One of the main problems with such a hi-rpm band where torque is reached, your off the line starts arn`t that impressive because the engine has to reach deep into it bowels for the power, but once the engine reaches it`s peak (5500-6000rpm) is where your really going to see and feel the difference! (as you noted) I`m glad MB chose this move with the E63. However, when the supposed Bi-Turbo version comes along things are going to change...
Take note, with the M5`s higher-rpm hp and torque bands, it might actually be faster if you delimit both these cars simply because it`s working with more running space (leg room) than the E63. -just a throry of mine.
