That's not the point.. the point is that BMW is comparing this to the "tossable" 2002... which was/is a roller skate on rails...
If I have to explain that a tossable vehicle is, then you really wouldn't understand anyways...
It's not about performance figures... The 2002's and early 911's were hardly powerhouses... But what they lacked in hp they more than made up for in being lightweight... and you could throw those cars around corners.
It's not about 1/4 mile times, it's about driving dynamics...
I'm not really interested in the 135... I am considering the 128 because I had hoped it would be a cheap, lightweight, rwd vehicle... With lightweight crossed off the list, I'm hoping that pricing will be attractive... At least I know the 1-series will be rwd, but 1 out of 3 ain't gonna cut for me... 2 out of 3 might tho'. Hopefully I won't be as disappointed with pricing as I am with the weight.
