The m3 has the name and the marketing-approaches to be a sportscar. do the maths ... 
I d say the new m3 will just hunt down the present rs4 (4.8s) by quite a bit!  |
I believe the latest test of the RS4 by Motorweek resulted in a 0-60 time of 4.2 secs - a second faster than the S4. The best I've read of the 335i time was 4.9 secs. This makes sense with the 120 hp difference. I believe that the new M3 will test in the low 4's - same as the M5.
