Car and driver test results from DCT M4 and DCT M2 below. Both cars are neck in neck to 40mph, which is expected as both are mostly traction limited up to that point. The M4's extra power allows it to start pulling away from then on. The 5-60mph metric is to be taken with a grain of salt. There is a very high level of variability with the numbers since it is a test difficult to accurately reproduce. That being said, the M2 is still one nifty little beast

Well... First they are going to do that with the " other 5 series type M sedan .." The M5. Agree with you that M3 sedan is traction limited and could almost do the same. Especially agree with you that a RWD M2GC should be in the lineup to replace the M3 which is now nearly a grand tourer in both size and performance. |

Gas milage isn't really a big deal with these cars, but it pisses me off that BMW puts such short 6th gears in their manual trans cars., across the board. My (in this context) gutless n52 cruised at 2700 rpm at 75 (and still got 30 mpg) but could be easily traveled the same speed at 22-2400 rpm and saved fuel with a taller 6th gear, instead of the hardly overdrive .85
Edit, the M2 is quick and I want one

If the M4 was really 1.5 secs faster to 110 mph - That would mean it is also be approx 1.5 secs faster over the 1/4 For the record i took a trip to drags trip on wed and the M2 trapped 113.48 mph at 12.7 - no launch control |

60ft is extremely important as it will affect your et dramatically A 108mph car running 12.6 is possible while a @118mph car can also be running the same time The slower trap speed car would have the better "hole shot" 60ft time but little top end compared to the more traction limited 118mph car. In the real world with pot holes and cracks in pavements , it's very hard to duplicate the 12.6 time in the 108mph car, and it will totally be destroyed by the faster 118 mph car in all real world encounters..ie rolls on the highway passing maneuvers. Trap speed is what is almost always the consistent determiner of which car is faster on the streets Stock f80 traps around 117-119 and it shows in that 0-100 mph time |

Of course it could, but then it would be another price range, plus the fact that it would outperform the M4. And that would not be ideal for BMW. I dont think it is correct to compare the M2 with the 911, they are two completely different types of cars. The M2 is a small coupe with backseats (short) people actually can use. Just hoping that BMW gets rid of the issues with deliverys we are experiencing here in Sweden. I haven't even gotten a production date - although I ordered before the actual launch.

Did you try launch control at all or not use it because of abort issues (my understanding is that an aborted run will cause it to shut this system off for awhile- and of course, lifting off the throttle at any point in the first few seconds will abort the run ) |

I believe the M4 figures are questionable. M4 -1.5 secs quicker to 110 mph ??? |
