Do you mean the 8% number comes from Cars in Action (SA)? That is incorrect. BMW has stated explicitly the improvement in efficiency E92 M3 vs E46 M3 and I think the number is 8%.

Also, if you are referring to the mid 5 s 0-100 km/h time by the same SA mag - did you miss the elevation of the test and that entire discussion?

If your answers to both questions above are yes then you get a huge .
