that's 4.3 0-62 mph

it'll most likely be 4.1 to 60 mph.

only .2 slower than M4

sure but a CLA45 AMG is utter crap to drive otherwise....

0-60 times do not make a car......if you think they do go buy a GT-R and it will absolutely obliterate almost everything including your M4.

Also the magazines will most likely beat bmws time. That happened with the 1M, M4, ect.

I wouldn't be surprised if the M2 has the same time as the M4

Does nobody sees the beautfy of a well executed, precise lap in todays times? Am I really the only one out there who is soooo sick of drift videos and reviews?
I totally agree and think drifting has been completely overdone. When the magazine outlets are providing "instructional" videos on throttle oversteer, it's officially over.

I was just thinking that someone in BMW marketing was inspired by Chris Harris to make this video. Anglesey looks awesome in the videos. I would not be surprised if this track achieves internet fame from videos and people start making pilgrimages up to Whales to drive it.

I wouldn't drift mine even if I could - I can't afford to buy new tyres every 50 miles. However all these drifting videos are, sadly, mandatory. It must be to impress the heel 'n toe, leather gardening... er sorry, driving gloves brigade. LOL

If you care about 0 - 60 times that says a lot.

I wouldn't underestimate this cars capabilities. Everybody knows these 3.0L i6 engines from BMW are way underrated. The M235i has no problem getting to 60 in 4.4 seconds, yet rates closer to 5... This car will have no problem pulling a 4 second flat.

Is Servotronic electro-hydraulic like it used to be, or does that name just refer to their EPS system now?

Never mind. Wishful thinking... https://m-power.com/_open/s/closedro...d=3125&lang=en

Why all the drifting videos? Simple. It sells. It sells the image and the brand and the enthusiasm to drive and want this car. I want this car more than ever after watching these videos. Of course I was sold long before the videos came out. # 1 on the list with$1k down at msrp once orders open up. Had my deposit in 6 months ago.
