Amazing...

What does angled road mean? He was launching downhill?

That's bloody fast! Apparently the car is well broken-in

( 5800 km on tacho )

I interpreted it as the road wasn't a straight shot and had a slight left or right turn.

For teh DCT, pretty solid numbers for having 2 people on board.

Damn this car is fast...

This time is more believable than the 4.3s thrown about in other threads.

Groundhog day. Awesome run. Cue the haters and 9 pages of BS. I love this car.

This video was already posted in the other 0-100km/h thread.

There is something off with the numbers. 0-10km/h in 0.1sec does not add up (>2g acceleration is physically not possible on a RWD car with street tires).

Maybe it is the result of a 1 foot roll out though.

BMW specifically asked the journalists not to time 0-60 runs on these cars. If it's anything like the M5, the journalist test cars had a "press tune".

It is damn fast, but something not right with the numbers.

Apparently the car is well broken-in ( 5800 km on tacho ) __________________ "... on the smiles-per-mile charts, the 1-series M coupe can't be beat. It is a challenging piece, a triple-X-rated driver's machine for semi-professionals. Its handling balance provides an open invitation to indulge in latent oversteer, and provides an opportunity to separate the men from the boys. It is an absolute hoot on the track and an addictive plaything on your favorite twisty back road. "
