On the performance, since the E46 M3 already does 4.8 seconds, it's safe to say the E90 will outperform this with a better power-weight ratio, but by how much like you ask? My prediction is 4.4-4.5 seconds. BUt, that's a "shoot-from-the-hip" guess like you
Yeah, after sleeping on it and taking a cold shower, I thought 4.1 was too optimistic. I think your 4.4-4.5 prediction is more accurate. I just can't see it any slower than 4.5 though.
