Thank you!
In th meantime, last weekend had a drive to the coast and back (not much, some 200km) and was driving alongside a fella in an e92m3 (414hp 400nm). We did a few rolling start pulls, I was curious just to see whether there will be any difference now with the shorter final drive. To my surprise, the cars were equal! Last year when I tried the same test, the M3 was always pulling away, it was obvious that the Z can't match it...but now it's almost as if they were completely toe to toe. Start from zero would probably be heavily in BMW's favor, as with launch control and automatic, I can't match that...but rolling from 50 it's pretty much dead heat.
Very cool to see that the car is now quicker, and I'm not just imagining it.
