7.2

4.9

---> So it will out accelerate a 316i. Not an M3.
In the city streets - from one traffic light to another - it certainly will be on par with M3. Since it accelerates to eg 50 kmh at least as fast as M3 if not faster!!!. The torque is instantly available, there's not lag in shifting, friction is lower etc.

Within city speed limits i3 accelerates very aggressively in Comfort driving mode. It's a very formidable city car. Sure on Autobahn M3 will dominate but i3 is primarily a city car, not an Autobahn cruiser.
