1M has the same 0-60 time as the manual M3 coupe - BMW USA

I was expecting to see the 0-60 (the only performance spec that BMW publishes on their website) to be slightly worse for the 1M but BMWUSA lists both at 4.7 seconds. they list the DCT M3 at 4.5 but then we are comparing apples to oranges. I think its interesting food for thought - I wonder what the quarter mile times look like - does the M3's NA V8 power start shining quickly enough to make a difference to the quarter mile time, or is it really more at 130-140 mph?
