BMW M140i vs BMW M2 3.0 480 Auto

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the BMW M2 3.0 480 Auto is the quicker car, covering it in 11.79 s at 117.0 mph against the BMW M140i’s 12.38 s — a margin of 0.58 s. To 60 mph the BMW M2 3.0 480 Auto takes 3.54 s and the BMW M140i 3.90 s.

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

Questions

Is the BMW M140i or the BMW M2 3.0 480 Auto faster?
The BMW M2 3.0 480 Auto. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 11.79 s to the BMW M140i's 12.38 s, a margin of 0.58 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 3.54 s against 3.90 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the BMW M140i 0-60 time?
The BMW M140i reaches 60 mph in 3.90 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.38 s at 111.0 mph.
What is the BMW M2 3.0 480 Auto 0-60 time?
The BMW M2 3.0 480 Auto reaches 60 mph in 3.54 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 11.79 s at 117.0 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The BMW M140i trips the lights at 111.0 mph and the BMW M2 3.0 480 Auto at 117.0 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 9 of 10 for the BMW M140i and 2 of 2 for the BMW M2 3.0 480 Auto. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
