What is with magazines not being able to replicate BMW stated M550i 0-60 of 3.6? Car&Driver could only get 3.9. Any media been able to pull it off? The Blackwing was right there at 3.5 with rwd.

CT5 Blackwing walks M550i at drag strip and road course.
I guess I had bad information, ty for the update. I am intrigued by the power and a manual transmission but I have little faith in the quality and reliability.
The powertrain is a carryover from the prior CTS-V, expect similar reliability minus the tech issues from the older CUE infotainment which has since been replaced.
