I think that's all anyone is saying. Yes, many US car magazines obtain unrealistically low 0-60 numbers, but C&D is in a whole other league. That applies to most of their tests, not just the M235i.

The problem is that arm chair drag racers love to put C&D performance figures up against other publication's numbers. Obviously you get it, because you went through the trouble of sourcing all your information from C&D. The other posters here are just cautioning against the practice of the former methodology.
Exactly.
