Don't get me wrong, I would love it if this were to be true but it's completely illogical for this car to be faster than the M5/M6; I think the best guess would be 4.6 or 4.7, since the M5 stands at 4.5. BMW won't make a M5 going for 90K and have an M3 going for 30-40K less that would be much faster, just doesn't make sense. Sorry...
4.1 is stretching it, but the low 4s, even equal to the M5 & M6 is very possible. Remember, the US is hung up on 0-60, but there's much more to the performance equation. The M5 and M6 will always be faster than the M3 above 60 and at ungoverened top end, but I think it is very possible the M3 will match them off the line.
