No it's just cannibalism - manufactures always make the predecessors faster!
Now once the G80 drops it will definitely be faster than the G20 off the line.

RWD vs AWD, Manual vs Auto (based on the launch), bad launch (went sideways shifting into 2nd). Even if it was a DCT, it was a terrible tire spinning launch. Try an M4 with DCT and launch control and I can guarantee a different result - even with only RWD. I don't even have an F80 M4.
If you think drag times are important, then those things I listed are not just excuses. They are very important to such a one dimensional comparison as a drag race. Especially considering this was a 1/8mi long stretch of road. That's tailor made to benefit the lighter car with AWD - which is how it beat the M550i and the M4. Of course it'll beat a RWD 335i. You can even see the M4 was already gaining on the M340i near the end.
