BMW numbers are usually very conservative. Meaning that they are easily achievable in the real world. I also believe they don't exclude the traditional 1 foot roll-out. And yes, on average, a E46 M3 is usually slightly quicker to 60mph than a 335i.

Swamp2 did very good predictive analysis on the 0-60 performance of the F8X showing it will be significantly quicker than the E9X.

The fact that BMW officially quote the F8X half a second faster than the E9X indicates that they are confident it will be quicker by a significant margin to 100km/h / 60mph. That was my original point

Will it be 0.5s faster in the real world? I agree, we will have to wait for instrumented tests to see...
The point I tried to make, you can not go by the BMW published numbers since they tend not to be accurate wheter they are 0 to 60, 0 to 62, 0 to 100 km/h.

And Then reach a conclusion that's a hell of an improvement.
