Your post started with "Why is it that a lot of euro-luxo-cruisers"....I assumed you were asking about all euro, sedans and/or coupes. My mistake.
Wrt the 35 only, stock to stock with equal drivers a 335i won't touch a C6.
But modded 335's have hit 11.7s and 11.8s @ 117-120. They can be very fast.

As for the M5 or M6, those cars cost twice as much, and have almost 100HP on the C6. It's not really a fair comparison even given the weight difference.

You can get M5's in the $40s. And please don't use the price argument, it's what ricers use (i.e., SRT4 owner saying a C6 costs twice as much and has twice as much HP).
Also, M5's and M6s are IMO nicer cars overall than Corvettes, which is why they cost more. They may have 100 more HP but they also weigh 800 lbs more but are still very fast. There are other cars I would own before a M5 or M6 (AKA porsche) but they are great cars and deserve respect.
