The difference between Europe (Top Gear) and American journalists is Top Gear looks at cars overall where as American's they pick an area and judge a car by that. If you take the 3-Series, for example, and view it for everything, there's a strong case that yes, it is the best in the segment. Same with the M5. You want a luxury car? Put it in comfort. Want a little more excitement? Throw it into Sport/Sport+, it's two cars in one.
