The values are from the speedometer readings, so if this is a typical 35i, they are probably about 1.5% to 2% higher than the real speeds. This 35i reached an indicated speed of 255kph in 69 seconds (in 6th gear).
Note, the plotted time is not the You Tube video time, but is the actual time from the start of acceleration as indicated by the speedometer. Graphed data points are at 1 sec. intervals up to 29 seconds. |
0-60 in 5 seconds, I don't think so. My 550i M Sport is not much better than that and it's miles quicker than any 335i in any bodywork.
Very difficult to map from a video.
