Also just barely off the 1M's numbers on the slalom and skidpad…with no LSD and narrower tires IIRC.
These are awfully good numbers for a comfortable, entry-level sports coupe.
Not many cars in the BMW stable (or any other for that matter) beat all of the above numbers.
Mind this puppy has only been gently *massaged* by the M boys. It frightens me what they could do with a lighter, tighter and more powerful version!

Not sure why everyone is so impressed with those numbers. 2011 135i with DCT and power pack was just as quick. Oh and it had DCT vs. auto in 2014 235i.
