Be wary of the BMW quoted 65ms from the E60 M5 intro marketing material. On the M5board many years ago, that claim was investigated and found to not include what others, like Ferrari, claim consists of a "shift." Ferrari and others quote power transfer to power transfer time interval, and apparently BMW was quoting just the shift time not the entire power transfer cycle (which of course is the one that is most useful). There were owners who datalogged their cars to get to the bottom of that claim and found something more like 150ms from what I recall. There are threads on the E60 section about the whole deal.
