And, from memory - here are the quoted 0-62mph times for old and new:

Facelift R53: 7.2
R53 JCW210: 6.8

R56: 7.1
R56 JCW206 (factory fit): 6.5

There's a few road tests that have found the R56 to go quicker than quoted too. Autocar reckoned their example would have done 6.5secs on a dry track... (R56 is lighter than R53 and would seem to have a low estimate of the power output, many examples put out 180bhp+ on a rolling road).
