T3-T5 90 minutes between flights

I fly BA out of MIA to LHR and I am almost always literally running to T5 to catch a connection. 90 minutes is the minimum time and I do this quite often. I run about 1/2 mile to the shuttle connection then sometimes wait for the next bus (why don't they run them more often?) so that could be 15-30 minutes. I do not understand why OW is not waiting with an express connection pass for us. Then as an Emerald I am in the priority lanes but that can be more backed up than the regular lanes, so often I will duct under the rope and switch. Then if for some reason they divert my bag that they want to check, that can take another 20 minutes. The running to elevator, waiting for train and rushing to gate I can usually make it with about 10 minutes till the door closes.

Is there any way as an Emerald that I can hope a BA car ride? Is there a way to exit the bus at the (I believe it is) B Gates at T-5? The security lines are usually shorter. I've thought about a cart in T-3, but they wait until it is full...

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! Jon
