4.9 but BMW said the 300lbs lighter M Coupe with S54 engine only hit 0-60 in 5.1 second. They rated my S52 M Coupe at 5.2 seconds to 60.

But the M3 with 300lb more than the S54 M Coupe hits 60 in 4.9seconds.

It's all politics. But 0-60 doesn't tell the real story. The real story is that it will hit 155mph in 14.9seconds. It takes real power to do that.
