I don't know if anyone even noticed that they did test acceleration and braking independently of previous tests:
0-60 (no launch control): 4.4 seconds (ay carumba!)
1/4 mile: 13.0 @ 106 mph
60-0 Braking: 103 ft
Also just barely off the 1M's numbers on the slalom and skidpad…with no LSD and narrower tires IIRC.
These are awfully good numbers for a comfortable, entry-level sports coupe.
Not many cars in the BMW stable (or any other for that matter) beat all of the above numbers.
Mind this puppy has only been gently *massaged* by the M boys. It frightens me what they could do with a lighter, tighter and more powerful version!
