Here is what Motor Trend said, "In Motor Trend testing the 426-horsepower manual-equipped SS ran a 13.1-second quarter-mile at 110.8 mph."

13.1@110.8 That's good MPH, shows it has good power, but some guy here posted his 12 flat slip @113mph in the M340i. This car is a monster. I am so glad I chose this over the 2019 540i. I don't think I would be so excited in making Dragy Videos or just using the dragy in general if I got the 540i. Dragy is the acceleration measuring device.
Yeah, 400ish horsepower all motor cars from about 5 to 10 years were high 12 to low 13 seconds for the benchmark. Similar spec cars with turbo power today are about a second faster.
