probably the most useless performance measure of a car.
aero? lol. power, traction(tires/awd), weight, transmission (dct), and suspension (squat) are the key factors.

0 to 60 is important on momentum tracks. if you are coming off a lot of sharp turns then you spend a lot of time accelerating. not a useless metric at all

The most useless performance measure is the top speed, IMO.

Everyone forgot about how big a smile you get on the way from 0 to 60. If you're not beaming ear to ear, the time ain't worth it.

Actually, BMW really needs to incorporate Valet mode. Limits the speed to 35 mph and 0 to 60 in 10 seconds.

Not sure if you watched the full video. They said aerodynamics is not so relevant in 0-60 and went on to say that POWER, GRIP, and WEIGHT are the key factors....

Hmm not the most thrilling video I ever saw..maybe 0-60 for dummies would be a better title
I expected some bmw specific tricks that are used in cars not a dumb down basics

I'm almost at the point of not looking forward to the future anymore in the auto industry. They're simply not making the cars that I want to buy anymore, but now I'm in the minority. In a few years time were going to have a new generation of drivers that never knew life without the iPhone and connectivity to Matrix in it, and won't understand the joy of driving an analog car. This article is spot on and I think it's sad a truth.

Welcome to Germany and say that again! You'll wish the limiter wasn't there once you get taken over while driving 257 on the cluster.

So this was a nice video to watch but really if you didn't already know this then you're on the wrong forum.

Even in Germany.What you're gonna do with 160mph+ speed? Even in best conditions you can only reach those speeds just for seconds.

0-60 is a metric that is useful to people that like to launch from the traffic lights and folks that like to go to the drag strip. it is not a useful metric for gauging the road course track worthiness of a car.
