Got some friends with one of each so was curious.

Not that well. There is a video out there with a stock M8 running against an X3M tuned to 550hp on a glued track showing the slips and the M8 is winning each of three runs. The X3M is fast though (runs a sub 11 sec.) but the M8 is just too powerful. This should be similar to a stock G80 AWD vs an M8. 10% more power on the tuned X3M vs a stock G80 comp. and roughly 10% more weight.
The engine in the M5 and M8 comp. is an animal.
