do you think a 5000 pound car with 500 hp would be fun,
not as much fun as a 3000 pound car with 300 hp
The E90 brakes faster than the E46. They just improved on breaking as well, and the handling is great. Also, I said the car was light for its class.

If you want to compare it to a Lotus Elise and mix up oranges with apples, have it your way, but for the ultimate lightweight vehicule, may I suggest the tricycle?
