That is why we went with a complete base model. Options are heavy!

I have to say, I did a double take on that as well. Wow!

I'm sort of thinking, what could add up - there's another forum member w/ a M-sport / THP / 6 MT at 3,260 lbs or something like that. Some thoughts:

-17 vs. 18" wheels? TBH, I think 17" wheels are probably fine for a car of the 2'er size...

-Heavier brakes and suspension? Brakes, I suppose that will add a few pounds. M-sport suspension - my guess is it's the same suspension with stiffer springs so maybe not much. But the Adaptive suspension probably has additional gizmos so that may be it

-Seats - not sure what the diff between manual non-sport vs. manual-sport are

-Paint - metallic paint?

-Body kit? additional radiators, bigger bumpers and a spoiler on the M-Sport?

I can't really think of anything else. The 228i doesn't come w/ a moonroof standard.
