Manufactures need to keep it real. Enough with being first with this and that. Bring back some quality some day this decade before the economy collapses.

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.
