Again to restate, I'm not doubting the vehicle can do it, I've just seen a bunch of slips on the internet of the manual version and many are not able to hit that mark repeatedly stock. Last edited by chattanooga240; 05-18-2020 at 07:38 AM.. |

Genuine curiosity, but are you also saying these numbers are hard to hit on an auto with LC as well? |

Much harder to do with a MT. Not only do you have to hit the correct shift points, but you also have to been super clean/quick with your shifts.
I enjoy manuals more than autos. But I'm not about to argue about which one is quicker and more repeatable. |

Not if you grew up watching Inital D! Just watching that show made you lightning quick with MT!

Sources: https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews...e-test-review/ https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews...e-test-review/ I didn't wade through the reviews to see if the weight difference was explained. For reference, my 2017 M240i weighs 3,463# with a full tank of fuel.

With differences in driver skill, tire compound, tire temperature and inflation, weight of fuel and driver onboard, road surface material/temperature, etc.....the results can vary further. But, I am left to wonder why anyone not on a track would care about anything to the right of the decimal? Why don't we just enjoy how the car feels to drive?

As for how much difference it makes, and these are again just my 2¢: Grocery Run – None Stoplight Grand Prix – It's unbelievable! Showing Soccer Moms How It's Done – (do we really need to go there) Winding Back Road – Some (maybe...depends) Drag Strip – All the difference in the world Circuit Track – More power helps; however, many drivers give it all back and then some in the corners

I couldn’t quite recall if 4.2 was BMW’s official published number and didn’t really care enough to look into it further, hence the “like”. Perhaps if I had substituted “IIRC” for “like”, I would have been more clear, but then who knows what you would have spent your Saturday morning musing about. Probably snow tires.

Never too soon to stamp out "like"! Some folks here have actually started or interrupted their own sentences by typing that nonsensical filler! BTW, that was just a Saturday...catch me on a weekday when I've got all 4 cylinders engaged!

And we come full circle. My car can go "fast". It just has a slower rate of acceleration than the M240i or M2.
(P.S. Sorry about "fast" versus "quickly" but reacting to the graphic.)

Just one more comment. BMW knew what they were doing when they introduced the B48/46. The stock B46 now is at 302hp in some models. i had to tune my 2017 to achieve that. That's not quite car too fast, but maybe car too fun!

In Shovelman fashion you should have begun talking about the "works of man" and toasters, and then threw this forum another doozy by going even more meta than Shovelman. That would have been epic. |
