OK, I keep seeing the different numbers and people comparing early M3 stated numbers vs. actual e46 M3 and 335i numbers.
First off: the 4.8s number for the new M3 is 0-100km/h which as e90Fleet pointed out is 0-
62mph NOT 0-
60mph (yes, there is a difference).
- I saw that on the BMW UK site, that the "stated" 0-62 numbers for a 335i are 5.5s manual, and 5.7s automatic.
- In the states, the 0-60 numbers for a 335i are 5.3s for a manual and 5.5s for an auto.
- Of course, as some people here will be very quick to remind you, the 335s have been testing 0-60at 4.8s with either tranny.
- The e46 M3's stated numbers are 5.2s 0-62mph and the e92 M3s number is 4.8s.
- e46 M3s stated 0-60 is 4.8s, but I think at best they were tested at 4.6s.
e90Fleet - can you please correct me if I'm wrong? By stated number, I'm referring to numbers from the BMW website(s) and brochures.
So, my *guess* is that the stated number for the e92 M3 0-60 would be 4.6s, but real world would be ~4.4s. I get the feeling it won't be as understated as the 335i is.
