F82 M4 JB4 vs E92 M3 1/4 Mile

M3lbournE92 · 09-11-2014, 07:00 PM

Went to a drag strip the other day and ran into a new F82 M4
I know the M4 is fast, but once I heard he had a JB4 beta I knew I was in for a beating lol
Off the line the m4 is a little slow, but when he got into 3rd, all I saw was taillights.
The second run, he took off his tune to see what he would run stock. At this time the temperatures cooled down from earlier.
We ran again and the M4 spun through first and second, but still ended up catching me at the end.
I got the faster time, but you have to look at the trap speed. 121 Mph is no joke

E92 sounds worlds better.

You are equally quick to half track and then start falling a few tenths behind by the 1/4. But by half track, he is going 7 mph faster, which is huge. Walking away. No contest in a highway pull, assuming both cars are in the right gear.

After he regains traction it's all over. If all the dynos are true, he would have 460+ hp to the wheels with the jb4 compared to my 360. The torque is also what makes him pull away so hard and on the highway I didn't even stand a chance lol

Nice finally I see an m4s slip... Thought the tuned m3 would of done a bit better tho

+1, considering this m4 is probably putting down 500 rwhp or maybe more, 121 mph trap speed isnt impressive at all.

There are cars that only make 500 crank hp that trap over 121 let alone 500 wheel.

I meant the e92 ... But I think it has a lot to do with the 6 speed I know the e9X were hard to get under 13s

JoePcone · 09-12-2014, 04:40 PM

I thought a stock E92 M3 trapped around 110. Seems like this car is trapping the same speed. Obviously every track and condition is different but you'd think it'd be trapping higher?

e92 seems slow too but in reality esp with 6 speeds, they didnt put down very high traps.

Just looked, the jb4 m3/4 is putting down based on the burger tuning site 509 rwhp and 522 rwtq.

Can't argue with that. Also can't argue with the M4 performance.

I know what I am about to say is going to sound crazy to some, but, the e9x M3 is fast enough for my taste. Lighter would be better for improved handling and driving dynamics, but BMW should have just made some evolutionary changes to the S65 or just put the GTS engine into the lighter(should have shaved slightly more weight than they actually did) F car and call it a day.

I know I'm beating a

Yeah with those numbers an trap speed it could be a lot faster... A tier/ an a dct mid to high 11s

The M4 is f'n quick.

I've seen several stock M3 6MTs put down near 113mph or greater Bruce. Although I've seen quite a few that trap less as well. Depends on the day, car, track and a host of other variables that I'm sure you know.

Here is a 2012 CarandDriver test with a 6MT that did 114mph.

Road and Track in 2008 ran a 114.8mph with their initial test of a 08 M3 6MT.

You ain't kidding. But I never could shake the feeling that I was driving a sup'd up 335i.

True. I also saw R&T do 12.3@114.8 and that car was tested in 2005 with a 6MT and did it with only 355 hp.

dude hit warp speed after he went into 3rd. lol

Hujan · 09-12-2014, 10:04 PM

It's funny, I never really wanted an S/C until the F8x cars came out. Now I feel like I need a kit.
