In a recent interview (
read article) with the M division chief engineer, Albert Biermann, the article lists various performance characteristics of the car.
The speed and fuel consumption numbers are metric based in the article and when they are converted to the English system they come out
26 MPG and a 0-60 time of
4.3 seconds.
While the term (est) is thrown in next to them, the fact the numbers come from the head man means to me they are reasonably accurate.
Pretty good performance. Particularly the MPG since that might erase the gas guzzler tax.
BMW previously released the first official M3 M4 technical specs at:
