Even if it is only the "is" motor, it weighs over 200lbs+ less. That is awesome!

a. no i don't think it has 335
whp...my car has ~370
whp....if the 1M has more than 370hp to the wheels then it will go down as on of the most underrated stock engines in history IMHO. Don't cringe buddy!
b. The is only a 77lb weight difference according to the "visualizer" and only a 24lbs weight difference from my car to the 1M (my car weighs 3320lbs per Roebling Road trackside scales....1M weighs 3296lbs)
So once again I say is it really worth the extra 25k I will fork out after trade-in/private sale of my 135i vs. doing extensive suspension mods to my current car?
