Going by the leaks specs the other week of the M235i, the 228i unladen weight should not be too much more than the E36 M3 3,175lbs.
The more I learn about the 228i, the more it interests me. I had an M Coupe with the S52 and it was great. It wasn't as quick as our 135i, but it was loads more fun. A 228i with an LSD and decent brakes would be very appealing.

I've only driven the N20 with that infernal 8s, not a 6s manual, but suspect it's a good fit with all three pedals.
