Really edmunds? 4.9s 0-60?!
I thought it was:
E92: 4.4s
E90: 4.7s
E93: 4.9s
Here is why:
"Unfortunately the Launch Control wouldn't work on this M3. A very German BMW official told us it's possible the car had reached its "max lifetime launch limit" before it got to us. Without LC or a third pedal, the M3 is hard to get to leave the line cleanly. Going straight from brake to throttle causes a huge hesitation, then it drops the clutch and there's big wheelspin. The alternative is a slow, bogging departure. Our best run was achieved via brake/throttle overlap followed by initially easy throttle as the clutches engage and the car starts to move, then full throttle. We have no doubt there's about three-tenths to be gained with LC or the proper manual."
How does BMW claim 4.4s and these guys think they can only get 4.6s? WTH. I had been thinking the 4.4s number was without LC. Oh well.
