Also, your assumption that a "heavy" car cant have good driving dynamics is a bit ridiculous. Consider that the weights of the Porsche 911 Turbo, the Audi R8, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage, etc. are all around 3450 pounds (+/- 25 pounds). It would a real stretch to say that those cars dont have good driving dynamics.

Very well said
M Power. A lotus Elise would much better meet his requirements. I've never come in contact with someone who drove a 335i and would prefer a 328i because its "supposedly" more tossable.
