Lighter than e90 with 100ft#'s more torque and 25% better fuel efficiency. That's notable. Even more notable is that the 235 weighs more --and I bet the M2 will also.

Edit: Lack of torque, not so much. Makes you have to shift and be involved. Not that will not appreciate the extra 100ft#'s though at times. Just betting is not going to be as light as everyone expects once we weigh our US high content version. |

I don't know which E90 M3s Kacher has been driving, but I never really worried about breaking the rear end loose in third.

because it is a v8. it's simple. nobody cares about fuel economy for collector cars (we only do when we actually ahve to use them daily)
