reality check: 328i, 335xi performance vs. model 3. how fast is 'fast'?

[BMW ///M3]

if you look at the dyno, once e-motor goes past certain rpm like 3000rpm, it dosn't make any more power and kept losing tq rapidly

any decent cars 500+hp can smoke p90d in high speed runs, certain in Germany this is an everyday phenomenon

Did you mean to post a different video? That one shows the Z06 beating the P90DL.

any awd car at that price range eats p90d for lunch and breakfast plus dinner.
and dance circles around it on track.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 vs. 2015 Nissan GT-R NISMO, 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S - Comparison Tests

0-100mph 15.8 sec where as p90d does in 21.8s not even on the same field.

The P90D does 0-100 in 21.8 seconds?? TWENTY ONE POINT EIGHT SECONDS, REALLY?? It could pull a BMW to 100mph quicker than that

 

[BMW ///M3]

wear your glasses plz, 0-150mph
prove once again once you past that point, e-motors are completely useless, no hp, no tq


C/D TEST RESULTS:
Zero to 60 mph: 2.8 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 7.1 sec
Zero to 150 mph: 21.8 sec

The P90D does 0-100 in 21.8 seconds?? TWENTY ONE POINT EIGHT SECONDS, REALLY?? It could pull a BMW to 100mph quicker than that

He must have meant 150mph. Remember, if it's something that's an imported metric for BMW ///M3, it's not something you'll ever care about.

Hah yeah... 2.8 secs to 60 and then 19 more seconds from 60 to 100. LOL

 

[deonb]

Trying again with my glasses on:

Nope. Still says 100mph.

P90D 0-100 MPH = 7.76 seconds.

ya that was my typo, you know what i mean tho

 

[proven]

Seriously though.. I'm not sure who you are trying to impress (or convince).... people on this forum or yourself. Is the Tesla a race car or a sports car? No, it's a 4-door sedan. Are there faster cars? Of course. But where it actually matters, you know, driving around town, the full torque at 0 on an electric motor is a entirely different experience.

And I'm not talking about flooring off the line at a stop light. I'm talking about getting through an opening in traffic and having no hesitation. I'm talking about having such granular control over low speeds and being able to instantly ramp it up when needed. I've driven some pretty powerful gas powered cars and there is always a hesitation, even if it's small. It's really something that has to be experienced--describing it on a forum just doesn't work.

LOL, ok friend. Next time you live in Germany and do high speed races "everyday" then I'll give ya the win. I'm curious how many times a day you do 0-100 in Toronto traffic. I do give you points for cleverly signing up here and relentlessly pushing your point, I bet you giggle in narcissistic joy each time someone replies.

Did you know that an Aventador is faster than almost all cars on the road today? But I also guarantee that the old rich guy that I saw yesterday in his white one in the parking lot of KFC doesn't give one cent about racing you, me, or anybody, ever. So enjoy your numbers and torque charts!

I am closing this thread (at least for now) as I believe everyone has made their requisite points. And I don't think it's going to go anywhere positive from this point.
