According to BMW, the M240i with the auto (same drive train as the MKV) does 60 in 4.4 seconds, and that is with an extra 100+ lbs over the Supra. I don't think 4.1 seconds is that far-fetched.

The M240i puts down to the wheels what BMW claims it makes at the flywheel according to multiple sources. But let's look at it from another angle. The M240i with a good launch and decent weather can do the 1/4 mile in 12.3-12.4 seconds. If the MKV is quicker by 0.3s from 0 to 60 that translates to at least 12.0-12.1s in the 1/4. That's C7 territory and the Corvette weighs almost the same as an MKV with 460HP at the flywheel.

No matter how you look at it, 340HP makes zero sense in both the M240i and the MKV. BMW might as well use their own unit of measurements for power. I guess we will find out soon once reviews are out, I wouldn't be surprised if someone is able to run 11s in a bone stock MKV.

This is why I plan on dynoing the car, and taking it to the strip once I get it. We can see what the specs say all day long, but until we have actual benchmarks, we won't know for certain.

That flat plateau is exactly my point. I have noticed it in multiple BMW sourced engine dynos and they're definitely showing the engine being restricted to produce the numbers they claim even though once the same car is on an actual chassis dyno, this flat area is gone and the car is actually making more power than advertised.

The base numbers on the dyno chart I got from AC Schnitzer are most likely BMW sourced as they show identical numbers to what BMW claims. It is almost impossible to produce such exact numbers on the same dyno twice let alone on a different one.
Thats because these aren't dyno charts. They are marketing graphs to illustrate the power curve of the motor. They certainly use engine dynos to get the sample data for these charts, but what you are looking at is averaged discrete sample points plucked from their own dyno charts. And then apparently modified to agree with what the marketing department and product planners have come up with. If those curves before the flat sections are actually accurate, then the motor is heavily underrated.

Had to make a run about 225 miles round trip. I stayed out of it and was in regular mode. 31 mpg I was hoping to get a little better but had air on whole time too.

Can you attach instructions on how to stay out of it? I have been unsuccessful in my many attempts. Haha

I averaged 24 mpg on a 240 mile round trip which included 4 1/4 miles passes at the dragstrip.

It's so hard for me to NOT switch to sport mode! An older gentleman stopped me at the grocery store and asked, "How much HP is in that thing? It sounds so bad asssssss."
Get an MKIV you'll be able to do it Easily ;)

Is your DTE accurate?

Supposedly our Supra's tank is 13.7 gallons. I recently put in 12.5 gals & the DTE said 47 miles! With a little over a gal left should only been around 30 miles of range left. I wonder if our tanks are larger than stated. What is the most amount of fuel you have added to tank??

I'm averaging 13.7L/100 thought 17.2m/gal in sport mode. A full tank lasts me 380kms in sport mode. That sound right?

I know itā€™s a sports car and these numbers donā€™t matter to many but Iā€™m just curious what mileage you guys get. On a full tank I go about 150 miles before I get down to 2 LED bars and then I fill up. If my math is right that comes out to just under 17 mpg which is definitely lower then I was expecting in this car considering itā€™s rated at 24/31. I spend most of my time in normal mode but do occasionally switch to sport mode every so often.

What mileage numbers do you guys get? Is it just me or is something wrong with my car?

I got overall 21.5 in terrible bay area traffic and occasionally sports mode full throttle.
