The 228 weighs about the same and is slightly more powerful than my old ZHP - which I loved. Wish it looked as good, and had a naturally aspirated six!
From the specs sheet of the article, seems like the 228 had the optional wheels/tyres of the M235i, but otherwise had no performance options such as M performance brakes, LSD, or the likes...
