Go-kart-theory: You FEEL like your going fast but you're not even coming close to 60mph.
That wasn't how my experience went in a 335i. It felt like a sledgehammer and I got up to 80 mph faster than anything else I have driven. When you get slammed in your seat and it pulls hard as hell that's when you can feel acceleration/speed.
