BUT…let's all settle down and remember it's not a *true* M car.
Just because it accelerates as fast, stops as quick, runs the skidpad as well, costs less and gets better mpg. It's really just a glorified 135i. <cough!>
They also spend most of the article showing how it's equal to, or just a hair off the M3 specs…yet then mention that it costs 11 grand more than a base 228i (???)
Nobody is mentioning a 228i and an M3 in the same breath.
Don't talk about how the performance matches the torch-bearer for the brand and then talk about how the price is higher than the cheapest, entry-level car they offer.
