M3 v M4 VBOX Comparison
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Since everyone has been asking for V-Box data, I went out and did some testing. I picked up my SO M4 last week and still have my full bolt on e92 M3. Did a bunch of testing on the same flat road on pump gas from the same station and here were the best runs from both cars. Weather was around 75 degrees and I'm at sea level. For reference, my e92 dynoed at 396 whp and M4s on the same dyno are getting around 420. So the results make sense M4 0-60: 4.35 M4 60-130: 9.38 M4 1/4 Mile: 11.82 @ 122.3 M3 0-60: 4.23 M3 60-130: 10.13 M3 1/4 Mile: 11.95 @ 120.5 M4 is making serious power stock. In terms of which car I like better...they are different beasts. Wouldn't really say the M4 is better than the M3, however its easier to drive and handles/brakes better. Still getting used to the engine though. Obviously the NA sounds better though...although the M4 doesnt sound bad whatsoever. Last edited by MRSSIIM3; 04-16-2015 at 12:55 PM.. |

Nice
Gonna be entertaining tomorrow to see what strategy the few m5/6 usual suspect loyalists use to try to scoff/dismiss these #s Would love to see some more vbox #s from you and others, I'm sure some haters will use the usual "outlier" argument for now (that apparently never applies to their own vehicle) Keep the vbox #s coming (Oh, and hope these are legit lol) |

Man - nice numbers for both cars!!! Thanks for the comparison between the two - makes the numbers (and the subjective comparisons) more interesting in both instances...

Is your M4 DCT or Manual?
Once you get the car broken in would be great to see your box results using launch control. Thanks for the test and happy to see the car achieving high 11s for some in testing as I expected.

it is clear that the m4 is the much more powerful car. worse launch and 0-60 but it makes up a lot of speed by the quarter mile. that's why I want to see the 0-100. its still traction limited, but less so and reflects the real world power very well IMO excellent results though. I cant freaking wait to get mine, even though its manual and will be slower in things like the quarter mile, but not in gear acceleration which is what matters to me.

OP, can you advise what the mods are on the E9x (or point to a thread where you have summarized them?) EDIT: why don't I just read his damn signature? Sorry. He says this: Quote:
