0-60 in 3.7?

Keep dreaming guys

The fact that R&T got the E92 to hit 3.9 is irrelevant; they had a perfect launch, strong motor, perfect conditions (weather, elevation, tires, humidity, etc.).

New M3 will be advertised as a "4.2-4.3" 0-60mph car, with mags hitting 3.8 or so, maybe 3.9 again, one lucky magazine might get it to 3.7, again, with perfect conditions and settings.

Current M is advertised as a 4.7[4.5] 0-60 car (latter being DCT); marketing alone says they won't drop down half a second! They'll cannibalize their own brand.

If BMW wants to steal C63 AMG (w/ Performance Package) sales, they should advertise this car as a 0-60 in 4.2 car. And if they have a brain they should offer a Performance Package for extra HP/TQ like AMG does. Everyone would buy it.

Car will also be heavier than the current one.
