13b-re FC - BMW M5
Beat an M5 from a rolling stop. Unkown mods to the M5 defanatly an exhaust of some kind.
Even at the onset, I was ahead by one car at the top of 3rd, when I was quick aproaching my turn. I slowed to turn and M5 guy continued the race alone nearly nailing someone at a bus stop when he understeered around a corner infont of me.
The guy was really working the M5 hard, he stayed in gear really late. I didn't think I would win I only have about 260 WHP on stock twins. (at 4500 Ft, probably a fair bit more here at seal level).

After looking up the M5 it is one of the few cars that makes the rx7 look economical on fuel. the spec I saw was 19-13 MPG. Which means it probably averages 14.
An 05 M5 does a stock 12.9 quarter fast, but an FC can do that with about 300 WHP. The M5 is a cool car, but its also really heavy.

You must be talking about the E39 chassis M5. They started in 2000 and were rated for 395HP at the crank. If you were racing one on the highway with even a decent driver, it would have rolled on you. You most likely raced a badged up 540I since the cars look nearly identical from the outside, plus the OEM M-package on a 540I makes it look even more like an M5. Plus you can get the 540I in a 6-speed.
My 540I pulls most stock FDs from a highway roll. A E39 M5 is a closer match on the highway with an E55 AMG.
