It depends on your definition of nearly identical.

BMW 0-60 published times don't mean much.

In reality, and based on actual test results the 35i is faster 0-60 than 335i by about .3 -.5 seconds, due to two factor:
1) It is 100 or so pounds lighter
2) DCT - much faster shifting = faster 0-60

In 0-60 speak, .3 - .5 seconds is definitely not characterized by anyone as "nearly identical". That would be a sizeable advantage.
