I'd love to see what the comp times are. Should be better. Anyone have an idea? I hope when the time comes for an F8x comp package that BMW ups the power rather than just a couple of cosmetic tweaks.


Cheers.

Comp Pckg looks like it was significantly faster...
Here's Motortrend's result for the M5 Comp Pckg:

11.9s 122mph
^That's almost 0.5 quicker than the regular M5!

Very impressive. I knew it was significant but haven't followed it closely enough to see what the times are. IMO, it should not have to be a premium to get this. I really hope BMW comes out with a comp pkg for the M4 before I get one.


Cheers.

That 12.4 114 was a manual car by the way , they got 11.9@120 for the non comp DCT M5 .

Weird. The link I got quoted from also says it's DCT. I think 12.4 is rather slow for a M5...so let's assume 11.9 then

C&D reported 12.1 @ 119 in their August edition compare with the 911.

Seems to be the consistent time for the car. This was a DCT M4.

Very strong numbers IMO.
