To answer the performance claims from BMW vs. Mags.
BMW's tests would be carried out strictly to set standards (TUV), so will be carrying a set amount of fuel and ballast weights to meet the requirement. Car mags don't follow that regime. Take 30-40 kilo's out of the car and yes it will hit 60 faster. Test on a drag strip rather than a virgin piece of tarmac and again you'll be faster. Not apples with apples, but it is if you want to compare a German manufacturer A vs. B official figures, which is the important comparison.
