I don't think there has ever been a case where "real world" numbers didn't beat BMW's posted numbers which are usually conservative. If both the M3/4 and M5 are being posted as 21.9s by BMW, then it's either an awful coincidence or BMW capped the M3 to that time for fear of pissing off those who bought the more expensive M5.

I doubt it's a coincidence, so the M3 probably bested the M5 to 1000m. It's possible given the M3 is reportedly so much lighter and thus have the lead after the first 1000m. Thereafter, probably the M5 closes the gap due to greater hp.
I am really excited to see some hard numbers.
