Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for
Demanding drivers: 2nd of 29 in 0–100 km/h (3.5 s), 9th of 29 in Power-to-weight (291 hp/t). 2nd of 29 in 0–100 km/h (3.5 s), 9th of 29 in Power-to-weight (291 hp/t).
Less suitable for
Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 10,7 L/100 km on the combined cycle, consumption rises in the city without electric assistance. An HEV or PHEV would be more economical for this use profile.
Alternatives to consider
If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the Bmw M4 Competition with M xDrive (1st with 3.5 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Top speed, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio (1st with 307 km/h) takes the lead.
Acceleration: 3.5 s 0-100 (2nd of 29 in 0–100 km/h)
In pure acceleration, the M3 Competition xDrive ranks 2nd of 29 in 0–100 km/h, 0.0 s off the reference Bmw M4 Competition with M xDrive (3.5 s).
Top speed: 250 km/h (17th of 29 in Top speed)
Top speed of 250 km/h. The segment reference reaches 307 km/h.
