This correct?
The 3197 curb weight on a 128i manual is up to 3260 on this 228i manual. HP is up from 230 to 240, but the 0-60 falls short. 6.1 sec on a manual 128i and now 6.2 on this manual 228i. All these numbers seem reasonable enough.

The big difference between the auto and manual 228 must be due to a huge improvement in the auto transmission.

Cheers!
