You forget we're buying performance cars, not Toyota Yaris. We care about performance numbers. If I just need something to get me from point A to point B, I don't care how much HP it makes or how many G's it can pull on the skidpad. The fact is the 240i gives 35% more HP at the cost of slight deficiency in weight and weight distribution. There's no getting around that extra 100HP though.
