Well they don't fudge the numbers, but they do use the brake/torque acceleration method which will always yield great numbers. They also got a 4.8 sec 0-60 time for the E550 in their latest comparo, faster than the 5.2 secs of the 550i. Most other magazines will get with 2-3 tenths of C&D's numbers and maybe one other might match them.

They know their numbers are pretty much unattainable for the average driver which is why they also include a 5-60 mph rolling start test also, these numbers are far more real world for most drivers. C&D is by far the best of the American mags when it comes to testing and data though.

I can see other mags getting a solid 5 second 0-60 time for the 335i.
