Not that I wouldn't love to say my 35i can kill a 335i, I just don't trust the BMW specs.
Road & Track test drove both cars. I trust their data more:
335i 0-60 4.8 1/4 mi 13.4
35i 0-60 4.8 1/4 mi. 13.3
BMW says the 35i hits 0-60 in 5.0 seconds with DCT. So R&T ran a faster time.
The Z4 has a 121 lb weight advantage on the Coupe, so there may have been a slight variable between the 2 R&T tests that accounted for both cars hitting 60 in 4.8 seconds, instead of 35i having perhaps a .1 sec advantage.
The 35i did hit the 1/4 mi .1 sec quicker. So, we can at least say the 35i is a "hair" quicker, but not that it "kills" the coupe.
