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.

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.

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.

Get the lesser Q50, the 3.0t sport. You give up a little bit of power but you get a real steering column. Makes all the difference.

The trans is a weak point in both the 3.7 and 3.0t versions. Shoulda went with the ZF8 from the get go. The interior is ok if you buy it used and don’t have to take the depreciation hit. I picked my 2014 up for 23k and it felt just fine for the price. It however, does rattle more than my 2008 Silverado extended cab did.

I'll take BMW.

Ok that BMW sounds amazing Coming from a Honda guy

It should be noted this particular Q50 has the optional, dealer installed exhaust kit. The standard exhaust is actually pretty quiet, sadly.

Dont here much on Infiniti cars any more so nice to see.

Whats iconic about that infiniti of which its name has not even stayed the same? That just doesn't feel like it meets the criteria for iconography as a vehicle

I thought the infinity steer by wire system was an option when is somebody going to drive one without it

I’m guessing that’s because depending on location. Most read from left-to-right so straying away from that makes you think longer about it. Most bmw drivers I know don’t mind it after a while, or they don’t care cause they’re not really car enthusiasts.

Really like that Q50S Redsport. If decided to pull the trigger on a performance sedan again it would be between this and the Lexus GS F, but pre-owned. I would want a more reliable luxo performance sedan that I wouldn't have to worry about down the road. Done with my Bimmers...great cars, but getting to be a pain as far as cost of ownership even for a DIY'er.

@@b58forever Oh man. That sucks. Found a nice GS 350 recently with the luxury package. Has everything I need and want. Nice Bimmer. I'm at the point of my life where I just want cars that will go the distance with the least amount of maintenance other than preventative. Done buying every few years and throwing money away. Too bad you had problems with that Infiniti. I'm sticking with slightly older Toyota products from here on out. No turbos, no hybrid no direct injection unless it also has port.

the problem is that not many ppl aspire to own an infinit, theyve never broken into the top tier lux segment like lexus

4:50 The Q50 and GTR are actually related in terms of engine & powertrain. It's a GTR-derived VR30 motor (GTR's are VR38), and the AWD system in both cars is also very similar and shares the same components. The transmission in the Q50 is it's main weak point, which has been brought up as a pain point endless times over the years.

The BMW price is inaccurate. I purchased a 2020 BMW M340i X drive in 6 months ago in Scottsdale, AZ. Fully loaded, executive package, performance package, both drivers package, gesture control, phone charging pad. With rebates and loyalty discounts $60, 200 out the door.

One has manual option other doesn’t 🤭

An old C400 vs new 340, hmmm, I wonder who wins.
