Some famous physicist, I can't remember his name right now, once said, "it's all relative!" You absolutely have nothing to support your claim of 1sec difference 0-150 between the E46/E92. It's simply dillisional to think that it's only 1sec 150mph.

"Thanks" for the physics lesson
The 1 sec difference is for the 0-1000m distance that we where discussing, not the 0-150 MPH run you talked about
As CanAutM3 explained a 1 sec gap between two cars travelling at 150 MPH is roughly 66 metres. Because at 150 MPH you are travelling at 66 m/s, so every second you cover a distance of 66 metres. So a car trailing another with a 1 sec gap is 66 metres behind the first. It's "only" 1 sec but it's a huge distance and visually would appear to be much more ( humans have difficulty judging speed and distance). Going at 50 MPH a 1 sec gap would only be 22 metres.
Any more physics and math I should stay away from
