I know some say that the 295 torque that the current M have is week but maybe to me it's seems like a pretty fine balance. Just my 2 cents

e9x from factory 0-60 in 3.9? dct? please post up more than one case.

they weight like 4000 pounds and have 400 flywheel and like 260 lb's tq. those numbers do not add up.


The new M3 looks interesting though, would love to see a turbo setup on it.
I believe it was a Major magazine (motortrend?) and also in the M3 forum there was a thread about members 0-60 times. Many stock guys are claiming v-box certified 4.0 flat time. Some quicker and some slower. And I thought the current M was like 3600-3700lbs? But I admit I'm no where near an expert
