We 'were' freaking out about the additional 120lbs. Then were told that might not be accurate because US cars will not have the particulate filter and will probably come in under that mark - Only to find out - The US car actually weighs more??
This was following the M2's heft that was unusually high for a car with those dimensions and RWD setup. When owning an M2 it never felt like it needed more power, it always felt like it could lose weight and be an even better car.
Seems like BMW could have tackled the emissions issue a lot of different ways they chose power and additional weight, let's see if that is the winning formula?
TBD
