I'm wondering how this car is any slower than a standard 335. It isn't any heavier, same engine/power numbers...just doesn't add up. I think BMW is really underrating the 0-60 on this car.

Where do you see this car being slower, if anything you hear it being faster then the 335i. Weight would be a deciding factor. If the car is only 80 pounds less like the UK website shows, then the cars should be about equal, if it is around 200 or something like the US website shows, then it should be slightly faster. My thing is, I think the car will dyno less then the 335i because of not having a true dual exhaust, maybe 5whp less, but that shouldn't effect times too much.
