what else is there to compare.
you call 0-60 in 4.1 a slouch, then you must be driving supercars.

I agree they shouldnt have stuck a v8 in there, but it is still good.
it doesnt do 4.1. even the M5 barely does 4.1 and the M5 is MUCH faster.

lets talk numbers for a sec... 3800lbs, 415 hp, 240lbs of torque. vs. 3900lbs, 425hp and 400lbs of torque. sounds like the second would win right? well thats the SS vs. the M3, and my guess is the SS WILL BEAT THE M3.

so that M3 sure as shit aint doing 4.1

The 1 series is faster off the line. its lighter. has much more torque. that one is obvious. but its shocking at how long the 1 series actually keeps that lead off the line.

the M3 will win on rolls

and it will tear the 1 series apart on a track.

im not comparing the car to super cars, but i am fortunate enough to have first hand expirience to alot of these cars, and am very un emotional when i compare them. so im not in any way biast with one against another.
