Also the diff between 0-60 and 5-60 would be bigger for a car with a high reving NA engine like the M3 than say a car with a turbo engine with lot of low down torque like 335.
I was to do a 5-60 in a the fastest possible manner I would have done the exact same thing as in a 0-60. But that is maybe not the point of the test.
