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
Agreed those models will be better than my rudimentary assumptions here

Launch control may help with the 60 run
