About the M3 G80

The 2021 BMW M3 G80 is a rear-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,705 kg with 473 bhp, which works out at 278 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 278 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.03 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 772nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 64th quickest of the 297 BMWs here. Its 117.7 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 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

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 G80 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 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.
