Good news, this segment has broken the 3.5 second mark and it looked like BMW should have been right there at 3.3 wtih the Alfa and Mercedes, BUT the weight is insane, 300 lbs heavier than the Alfa???
225 lbs heavier than the F Pace that has a V8, makes no sense. How is this heavier than a mercedes? BMW should be around 4300 lbs with these.

BMW maybe deliberately quoted the 0-60 not as aggressive as we'd like and reserving those sub 3.0s number for G8x M3/M4, wishful thinking? Was expecting X3M/X4M to be around 3.5s 0-60 official number with potent S58, then with much weight reduction on the upcoming M3/M4, we may see 2.75s 0-60.
X3M wins the heavyweight championship of all competitors at 4,620 lbs curb weight, average 300+ lbs heavier. F80 M3 is 3,605 lbs, one can only speculate if G80 M3 can remain the same weight or less (1000+ lbs reduction), we may see more aggressive 0-60 number. |
Wow this is definitely becoming a trend.
Dial up the size. Dial up the weight. Dial up the M POWER.
