BMW M3 E92

The BMW M3 E92 reaches 60 mph in 4.20 s (100 km/h in 4.85 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.75 s, tripping the lights at 113.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.04 s and the eighth mile in 8.31 s, reaching 100 mph in 10.25 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the M3 E92

The 2007 BMW M3 E92 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,580 kg with 414 bhp, which works out at 262 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 262 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.04 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,300th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 133rd quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. Its 113.1 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 10 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the BMW M3 E92 0-60 time?
The BMW M3 E92 reaches 60 mph in 4.20 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,300th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the BMW M3 E92 quarter mile time?
12.75 s at 113.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.31 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.04 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the BMW M3 E92 have?
414 bhp and 1,580 kg, which is 262 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 280 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the BMW M3 E92?
Closest here on pace: Lexus RC F (4.20 s), Aston Martin V8 Vantage N420 4.7 V8 426 (4.21 s), Aston Martin V8 Vantage Mk I 426 PS (4.24 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW M3 E92 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The BMW M3 E92 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 10 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
