The M3 already did 4.1 secs to 60 from Road & Track and that's with a 6spd manual. Wait till they test the DCT, it could probably break the 4.0 seconds or lower. The C63 has done 3.9 with C&D and the ISF had 4.2 with C&D as well. I can't wait to see one of these mags to test them on a track for the best time like the one they did on TopGear with the RS4, C63, and M3 coupe. More than likely and i'm almost sure the M3 will win any close circuit track race.

Congrats on another victory. It comes to confirm that the BMW M3 is the best car in its class period. I am pretty sure that by virtue of the DSG its also going to be the fastest.
