Actually they made a mistake in their rating:
Right above the rating it says: "Bremsweg aus 100 km/h warm: 34,8 m",
but in the rating it's just 36,7 m.
If you take this, the M5 CP gets 9 points instead of 7 for braking,
and it would be the best sportsaloon!


(I'm worried about the development of Sport Auto, it's not the only mistake in this issue)

Now this is the kind of improvement performance wise one would expect from a 15hp increase, reaffirms my opinion that the Competition package is an over-rated and over-priced option that appears based on this test to offers little track performance benefits and next to nothing on the public road.
