I've driven a '97 M3 manual at WOT and I've driven my '98 SVT at WOT (most of the time). While I would like to think that the SVT is faster, there is no way....not even close. Those cars kick azz and the new one will do it better. Also, the 540i 6spd goes 0-60 in under 6 seconds and doesn't stop pulling.
