I think it will be a lot faster than 4.3s to 60. Likely sub 4s in ideal conditions with launch control.
Agree on both your points. Most I've gotten for short periods in the E92 is 23 mpg a 65 in 6th. A ~30% bump would be a nice bonus on trips. I know any excessive right pedal use will drop that off quickly, though.
