The 5.0 doesn't have nearly the amount of R&D as the M3 nor is it manufactured with the same quality of parts the M3 has. In the hands of most journalist to race car driver Randy Prost, who does reviews for motor trend, on Willow Springs raceway the two are very close. Compare the two on the Nurburgring, where the M3 is developed, and they don't compare. Fun fact, the S65 was designed from the F1 V8 BMW ran in their racecar. Can Ford say that about the "coyote" motor in the 5.0? There is your 20-30K difference.

Actually the S65 was derived from the M5's V10 S85. It's essentially an S85 with 2 cylinders lobbed off. They share many of the same characteristics and specifications. The motor in the race car is a farrrrrrrrrrr different beast.

What a dumb move on BMW's part. Marketing 101 would dictate that you use the yardstick which shows the highest level of bespoke content, especially given how much the rest of the press release seem to highlight differentiation vs the standard car. I wonder why the glaring oversight?

We know for sure that the drivetrain itself is more than 50% different. We know for sure that the suspension is more than 50% different. In the case of the CCB the difference is 100%. We know all that because BMW already said so. So this 50% "bespoke" must be obviously some other kind of yardstick.
