In Reply to: 5.3 to 62? the 2000 mcoupe was 5.1 to 60! posted by jpl on November 27, 2000 at 13:03:21:

the euro m coupe with 321hp runs to 100km/h in 5.4 seconds.

if they say the new one does it in 5.3 seconds, then that's just as fast as the M5 which is quoted as going from standstill to 100km/h in 5.3.

further, you can see that when that translates over to the US, the M5 runs to 60mph in 4.7 to 4.8 seconds (traction limited). so, the new m coupe will be fast. it will be the fastest bmw short of the z8 in the US.

people will pay extra money for that.
