Ah, no. The factory states that the M235i does 0 to 60 in 5.0 seconds with the 6-speed manual transmission and 4.8 seconds with the 8-speed automatic transmission. Recent reviews by popular magazine road testing drivers are consistently seeing 0 to 60 times of 4.3 to 4.5 seconds with the automatic transmission.
