That the car is bigger was a known fact then, so you can use it now to make excuse for the marketing "error." I suppose you can backtrack and say you didn't "promise" or it was "just a target" etc. But then you expect that from politicians or used car salesmen, not Official M3 M4 Specs from BMW. |
Easy Toronto. Don't worry - I'm sure the leafs/raptors/mayor situation will improve at some point....in meantime, practise yoga or something to ease off the aggression.
What I was 'searching for' (had you read the thread) was the post 'promising' E46 weight (which, as I was pointing out, it didn't actually do). When the car was released, what BMW said was it had an 80kg or 176 lb savings over E92 - which is what the OP seems to show......
BMW's claimed weights are always low. Like many say the claimed HP is low. Nothing new there.....comparing actual car to actual car the F80 does seem to land between a (noticeably smaller E46) and the E92. Losing 170 lbs is a good thing.
In your expert searching, have you found a scale weighed E46 to compare to these numbers? How close is the F80 to those? (What I find are numbers around 3,400-3,450 lbs scaled for the E46.....meaning it wouldn't hit 3,300 itself)
