I didn't mean "an explosion of power" in the sense that power would come on suddenly, but 3rd gear is a gear in which you really have the opportunity to gauge a car's raw power because it's the first gear in which the wheel spin is minimal (with good tires). The M5 in 3rd gear just delivers as much power as you can safely handle, leaves you thinking "ok, that's enough power for me" while the M4 leaves you wanting more, especially when reaching that power plateau at 5000RPM and noticing that the car doesn't push you into the seat as hard when it really should given the performance until that RPM.
