Personally think to 60 will be tough to break 3.7s due to tire size/grip vs low end torque, but 12 flat in 1/4-mile seems about right. Will be interesting when some of the guys run the CarTest software info using some gear ratio assumptions.

On the 335i PPK BMW claims the 20 additional horses are good for 0.2s off the 0-60 run and this has largely been proven to be true.
I assume with 100hp over the 335i with PPK the 0-60 run should be shortened by 1s, to 3.4s. Quarter should be about 12s flat as the 335i with PPK is good for 13s flat.
Given the E92 M3 is good for 3.9 and 12.8 I think the numbers I derived are within reason given the extra tq less weight on the new M. In addition the new M will EASILY put at least a 1s buffer between it and any ambitious 335i.
Let's see how it plays out  |
