Nice thread and info!

Some small corrections and/or additional info regarding 1M:

Overboost oficial tq figure should be 369 or 370 lb.ft (BMW USA advertised figure is 370, others quote 369 lb.ft or 500 nm) but definitely not 375.

Motor Trend's World's Greatest Drag Race 2011 features 1M with 1/4 mile in 12.8 sec. like you say but trap speed at 110.2 miles. Maybe you quoted another Motor Trend test as the source, not one of my favorite magazines anyway. Just saying:


And weight distribution is 51.8 front/48.2 rear; some sources simply say 52/48.

IMO would be a valuable info if you could add factory fit tires (brand, type, size) in there as well.

And finally, I think a manual E92 M3 would be more meaningful instead of having two DCTs, one from 2008 and other from 2011.

Hope these help.
