the reality is that BMW listed the weight as 3296lbs globally and in the US a 3360 number was used as well. The other reality is that BMW USA also used 3505 as the MT weight for the M235 in the US....and even more for the slushbox.
No matter what way you want to look at it there IS close to a 150 lb difference at least....if not more. |
All I am suggesting is that you might have compared vehicles that are similarly equipped. That might actually foster an interesting discussion, about the differences between the cars and how the final weights were achieved.
Can you not understand that more options (aka a sunroof) are standard for a 235 that were not offered on your 1M? And that the published figures for the car are based upon those standard options? Perhaps, in some wild stretch of the imagination, a 1M and 235, both MT equipped, steel roof, heated seats only be a better comparison?
Furthermore, my distaste for my own car is well known on these threads. Generalize some on your part?
The truth of the matter is that most times you provide no appreciable benefit to the conversations on this board. You are, from the majority of what I have seen, a pretty pompous ass in a place where fun discussions should be the norm. You are inherently defensive about anything you own or have owned, and similarly dismissive of anything that is presented as a viable alternative to one of those vehicles.
The approach does not benefit anyone...
