Questions

Is the BMW M2 (G87) or the BMW 335i E90 N55 engine E90 faster?
The BMW M2 (G87). Over a standing quarter mile it runs 11.89 s to the BMW 335i E90 N55 engine E90's 13.43 s, a margin of 1.54 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 3.63 s against 4.97 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the BMW M2 (G87) 0-60 time?
The BMW M2 (G87) reaches 60 mph in 3.63 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 11.89 s at 118.3 mph.
What is the BMW 335i E90 N55 engine E90 0-60 time?
The BMW 335i E90 N55 engine E90 reaches 60 mph in 4.97 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.43 s at 105.1 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The BMW M2 (G87) trips the lights at 118.3 mph and the BMW 335i E90 N55 engine E90 at 105.1 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 M2 (G87) and 9 of 10 for the BMW 335i E90 N55 engine E90. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
