it's just so... beautiful. It needs a CSL duck tail trunk lid and Recaro sportsters but then it may be too nice.
I wonder what I can get for my kidneys on the black market. |

I'm guessing the base car weighs quite a bit (M235 is 3,505lbs) and it would have cost them too much to reduce the weight significantly as they did with the M4 GTS. Pricing would then encroach on the M3/4. What has me puzzled is how the automatic is listed as weighing 50lbs LESS than the manual! First thing I did was looked up the weights of the M4. Curb weight for M4 - Manual transmission: 3,530lbs. Curb weight for M4 - Automatic transmission: 3,585lbs.

And it's funny that you should mention a tune...the 235's engine is merely an N55 with the PPK, so......

I'm dreaming of another ED... Love the seats! They are helmet friendly, unlike the ones in the M3. Someone is going to have two blue M cars in the garage
