Tried it once with my M3 when it was stock with 80 miles on it. 100 degree day. Slightly uphill. First time it was 4.8 seconds as I hit the rev limit/fuel cut off in 1st gear. Second time I short shifted 1st gear at around 7,800 RPM and got 4.2 seconds.

It's not a stat I care about but with practice and better conditions I could have produced some consistent 3.7- 3.9's easily.

On my 335 (tune, meth, LSD) I did it a few times and started in the 4.2 to 4.3 range starting in 2nd gear (6AT) and after lots of practice got consistent 3.8's with a best of 3.5 (also slightly uphill).

All tests with the M3 and 335 were done on factory tires at normal PSI on desolate city streets.
