The 335 is the twin turbo and will easily do 60 in the 4.5 range. BMW always states performance times that are conservative.

Well technically it is a 25k car at msrp with nothing added. You add tax,title, and license and your getting pretty close to 30k. As you cant get around those that is the true cost of this model.
