Just got back from Germany and I saw a bunch of new Mustangs. I assumed they belonged to US military members but checking the license plate confirmed that they were owned by locals.

Some people use a barber. I think my barber drives a 1979 F-150.

Because despite this review, Germans are smart enough to pick a Mustang GT 5.0 over a M235.... I would have agree too.

It's a UK show so it's 0-62mph (or 0-100km/h)

Probably didn't use a 1ft rollout that everyone else seems to use to get these amazing numbers.

I've been able to get 4.8 second 0-60 mph regularly out of my 2015 M235i RWD with the ZF8 automatic transmission. And that's with the U.S. 320 hp.

Oh, and that's from a dead stop, no rollout.

Yeah, 0-60 is very heavily traction dependent. Times will vary pretty significantly based on the road surface.

It is not to far from the truth.

The M240i will be an improvement.

M235i is history now. M240i is the new car to beat 😉
We don't take into account a Cayman S...

Thank you for the explanation. 93 Octane (AKI) is available at all pumps where I live. In California, the cap is 91. 93 here is priced about 20% higher than 87, which is what most cars run on.

Those < 4.8 second 0-60mph times were done with the 18" 225 Perrelli run flats, which must be the worse performing stock tires ever put on a sporty car and they're noisy too. So with a set of staggered Michelin Super Sports I would expect it to do better.
