I wouldn't be so sure. Aerodynamics have very little play below 60mph, so it is mainly weight that plays against the X4MC. IMO, the base M3 will be slower than this X4MC due to the added shift time, lesser launch traction and lower horsepower. The RWD M3C will be a close match. The AWD M3C will beat the X4MC since it is the exact same powertrain with less weight. But anyhow, who cares about 0-60mph, that is not what an M3 is about...
