Actually, these in gear test are always done in higher gears. I think it really shows the true useable power of the engine(lower RPM range). If you did this same exact test on the S54 or even the S65, I don't thinks they could match the 1M's in gear times. However, if you wind the current M3 out past 6k to redline it pulls like a freight train as the 0-100, 0-150 times I posted in the other Autocar thread show. Up to 100 it's gonna be close, but past that, the M3 is gonna start walking away slowly....
