The fastest M135i Xdrive kill the 0-60 on 4.5s... I think there is a mistake.

C&D uses a rollout that skews the results, so you can only really compare C&D results with other C&D results. A rollout would also neutralize some of the advantages of Xdrive.

It's also tough to deduce how cars should perform based solely on BMW's factory HP ratings because these are widely known to be underestimated. It's hard to tell from model to model how much BMW underestimates power.

That said, I think in a raw, controlled comparison, an M135i Xdrive would probably beat an M235i to 60 mph, but I have absolutely nothing scientific to back that up.
