See original post, quoted and bolded here for you.
The poster you quoted was pointing out an error in your data. Bolding your original post does not make you right. You even say "if the numbers are correct", which they aren't.

Measuring wheel to wheel is called track. It is not width. Width is a measurement of the body, which is given as well, both with and without mirrors. I would love to see your table corrected with both track and non-mirror width dimensions shown. dimensionsCertainly your point is not lost, but to say that the F80 is wider than an F10 is ludicrous.

What it points out is the huge discrepancy in front and rear track of the F10. Man they must have been hunting for front end grip.

Nice work nonetheless. Kudos.
