@Rick
You can add 0-60. We used to list only 0-100 kph but now we allow 0-60 as well!
Click on "Add performance figure" and go from there.

Rick James 11y ago
Why is it that 1/4 mile times / MPH are accepted as legit but not 0-60mph times?
For the power to weight ratio you use [quote]bhp / tonne but for weight distribution you use standard weight in as it is in the U.S.
For engine power you use both and for max speed you use both
Why not use both 0-60mph and 0-100kph? Why the double standard?

Rick James 11y ago
It\'s odd how the M3 E92 Coupe is like 3K more than the sedan although it doesn\'t perform or even look any better. I\'d get the M3 E90 sedan over the Coupe and any other 55-70k sports sedan / coupe.

I think that is something wrong regarding the time for autozeitung. faster than both R8, faster than many ferrari's, porsche, lamborghini corvette and also fastest with around 1,5 sec compared with M3 e92 wich is abnormal. did anyone double check it?
something is incorect.

crni 09 13y ago
anonymous you forget the better the handling of the m5,c63,rs4,gallardo and brake s.

Anonymous 13y ago
No i think it would be better to buy an m3 the m3 has better brake's suspension and sharper handling than the c63 amg.

Anonymous 13y ago
The M3 and M5 are statement cars for BMW as they make no sportscars and i wish they listened to guys like us as i to would have twin turboed this SOB. Who cares how smooth a sedan is when we want POWER to make a statement.

Flybye 13y ago
I'll take a 2003 M5, and twin turbo charge it. These new BMWs are sooo ugly. :-/

Can anybody confirm that this is the REAL DumbAss Adam? or just some DipShit prettending to be him??


Adam 13y ago
come on if the m3 e92 coupe doess the 1/4mile in 12.5sec then the m3 e90 sedan could probably do the 1/4mile alot faster than 13.19sec i think most of you will find that the m3 e90 sedan is only all it till bit hevier than the m3 e92 coupe and the m3 e90 sedan match's the coupe's performance.

Anonymous 13y ago

m3 sedan faster than m3 coupe what's next evo 9 faster than evo 10.are some car manfufactor;s failing to make their car's better then their predeccesor's and i think some car manufactor's are failing to make special performance model's faster than standard model's.

I think that M3 E90 Sedan its fast than the E92 Coupé....
Other surprises: 997 GT3 fast than 997 GT3 RS,Gallardo equal Gallardo SE,F40 fast than F50 etc...
