4.1s is a hell of an improvment
BMW official numbers are notoriously inaccurate, from one gen to an other,from one engine to another.
Case in point, some BMW official numbers:
The MT E46 M3 0 to 60 4.8 sec and the MT E92 M3 was 4.8 sec.
N54 grossly underrated, the S65 not the case.
Going by BMW official numbers, an E46 M3 will smoke a N54 335i to 60mph...not the case in the real world.

From insideline.

These disadvantages play out on the drag strip, where the 335i is 0.2 second behind the 135i to 60 mph (5.0 seconds vs. 5.2 seconds) — a gap that holds to the end of the quarter-mile, where the 135i finishes its run in 13.3 seconds at 104 mph vs. the 335i's performance of 13.5 seconds at 103.7 mph. The M3 is the slowest of this group, running to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds and finishing the quarter-mile in 13.7 seconds at 103.3 mph.



Real world numbers will give you a better sense of what kind of improvement we'll see.
