From all the specs at hand E92M3 will prob. struggle to get to low 4.0's, or less than 1 sec difference.

E92M3 lovers will taunt its "track" performance, but that remains to be seen..
3.8secs????????? It's like assuming if you double a cars power, you will cut the acceleration times in 1/2. It doesn't work like that.
