I understand that if a car starts out faster but the other car gets to 100 mph quicker how the 1/4 mile can be close, BUT they are both rated 3.7 0-60, so that should not be a factor. If they both got to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and then the M5 took an extra 4.6 seconds to get to 100 while the S6 took 5.5 seconds to get to that speed, how could their 1/4 miles be 0.1 seconds apart?
They need to start doing Dyno tests on these German Turbo cars, you really wonder if the test cars are the same as the ones being sold to customers, I mean they could have shipped that S6 with the S8 tune! Now a S6 with 510 horsepower, 50 pounds less weight than a M5 and with AWD I could see these numbers being real.

+1 a lot of these test cars are tuned versions they do this with a lot of cars. ( so they sell more cars)
