    I love that vq/vr sound. I had a 370z and I put exhaust on it. It sounded so good. Sounds just like a GTR minus the turbo sounds and it was a little higher pitched. But the GTR, 370z, q60, g37 are some of the best sounding v6 engines IMO.

    "Less powerful" is debatable. BMW is renowned for understating the power of their vehicles, especially the higher performance/higher-powered vehicles. Throw one on a dyno and it will usually put out in wheel HP awhat BMW states is its crank HP if not more.

      You also have to understand these numbers are on a manufacturers car, tested by Car and Driver. They are weather adjusted as well (and we don't know how far they are adjusted). If you go to the dealership and time a stock M340i, you will be closer to the mid 4s 0-60, and higher 12s quarter mile. They wouldn't just sell a 470hp car for under 60k, hence taking out the point of the M3/M4.

      Fordguy1997 I have it. It is pretty quick, BUT I doubt there’s any 400+hp sedan from BMW, Audi, Mercedes, and Infiniti that would lose to the MKZ. MKZ has to be one of the slowest 400hp sedans out there. The reason it’s slow is that even with AWD, it can’t ever launch without spinning the tires or bouncing the tires. It’s beyond embarrassing how poorly Lincoln thought this out. They just tossed in a turbo V6 and called it a day when in fact it needed tuning of several physical parts to be able to put the power down. 6 speed automatic in 2020 is beyond embarrassing. I still love the car though, the bmw 3 series and Q50 are quicker, but the Lincoln is so far ahead in features. Things like power closing trunk, full glass panoramic roof, 1200 watt sound system, 360 degree parking sensors(Infiniti and bmw only have front and rear, mkz can sense 360 degrees), and it’s far more comfortable.

    I'm a fan of your channel and subscribed to it years ago. I really enjoy your performance tests (both drag races and acceleration measurements). However, since I live in Asia, it would be much nicer to me and also European viewers of your channel to see measured data in KM/H too. I know you are an American channel and your metric system is miles per hour but I think performance measuring devices can record and show times in both km/h and mph units. So, you can announce 0-100 km/h time of each car you test whenever you measure its 0-60 mph time. This is just a suggestion and you may simply ignore it but it can make your channel appeal to viewers on a global scale. Thanks again for your efforts.

    Plus if you're thinking about leasing... The Bimmer's Residual value is so much better than the Q50 (and C43)... That it'll make up for the $9k difference in MSRP.
