Question on the HP comment at the beginning of the video that this is M divisions most powerful car; at 620 HP and 750 Nm - he says. First depending on the rating system - it's either 617 or 625 and 553 lb ft. Second - those are the exact numbers for the M5 Competition (and I believe the M8 is also rated at the same power level as the F90 standard M5 - 592/600 HP).

My two questions are; do we believe the HP levels are really the same between the M5/M8? The F90 M5 has already proven to be seriously underrated. I have seen the weight advertised for the M8 vary from slightly less than the F90 M5 and slightly above - 4290 to 4400 lbs. Will BMW give the M8/M8CE more jam to beat out the F90 M5/M5CE?
