Anyone buying a M car for the right reason wouldn't care about top gear acceleration lol. Let alone the MBZ only comes in an autotragic. The whole point of the M car is to be engaged and rev the hell out of it, I know personally as a BMW nut (6 so far) straight line magazine games are hardly a concern of mine.

I mean I agree with you generally but whats this? The AMG still has a good old-fashioned torque-converter gearbox does it not? Perhaps I've been living under a rock however. But technically speaking I thought the only thing it really had incommon with an SMG was that it changed gears? I personally would take a torque-converter gearbox over an automated (single) clutch gearbox any day though.

i hate how everyone who owns a BMW hates when straight line speed is brought up
i owned a e46 M3 for 4 years and it was and still it one of my favorite cars of all time, but i always wanted it to be faster in a straight line
i, along with 90% of M3 owners never tracked my car, i did, street race it when i got the chance, and a very few times, i lost, but the old M3 always won against the C32 and C55, now its a different story, without a lotto mods the new M3 fails in straight line races to the C63
not to mention this "autotragic" gear box you speak off, has been hailed as the best automatic to grace a car and its not much different from any SMG system - doing the exact same work, just differently
i know bmw lover hate MB and other competition out there, but there is no sense it arguing every other point out of it (handling, rev's, gearbox, interior), to make it such a better "amazing feat of engineering" just because the MB is faster...
and a magazine game of 3.9 and 12.3 @ 116, should be quite a concern, no matter how bad of a driver is, the C63 will always come out of top (in a straight line blah blah blah) with numbers like that
