As to the weight disparity between manual and automatic transmission options, it is only fair to compare the cars with the same transmission.
There have been other erroneous posts regarding the M235i such as a claim that the car is not available with the so-called "Halo" or "Corona" headlights. That statement was also untrue.
There seems to be some not-so-vailed animosity towards the new M235i on this forum, all from folks who own something else.  |
One other thought on the subject is that the M235i is now available without a sunroof, so weight comparisons with the F80/82 (most of which will hopefully be ordered without the sunroof thankfully) should also be made against an M235i without a sunroof. Kudos to BMWNA for making it an option on the M235i to not be forced to buy a car with a sunroof!
Perhaps its best to weigh an M4 with 6MT and carbon roof versus the M235i with 6MT and no sunroof both with full tanks.
