We do, I'll grab some of those in a moment and post them dating back the E46.
Though spoiler alert: the speed in gear is within a few percent for all the 6-sp manual M3s and M2s of the past 25 years.
Compared to the E46 M3, the G87's first three gears are 1 mph shorter, 3 mph longer, and 4 mph longer - a pretty small difference given the massive difference in engine output and torque.
But I'll post some pictures in a bit.
