BMW NA's Website - BMW 1 Series Coupe Forum / 1 Series Convertible Forum (1M / tii / 135i / 128i / Coupe / Cabrio / Hatchback) (BMW E82 E88 128i 130i 135i)

I like the redesign of BMWUSA.com for visual appeal, but the information quality is driving me crazy. Looking at the Specs page for the 135i the dimensions are on top and according to the caption the car is 1717 inches long and 560 inches tall (that's 143 feet by 46.67 feet). Come on BMW, a little period goes a long way. I can live with this typo, as it's easy to figure out what they have done. However, there are two issues on that page that are not so easy to understand:

is the car really 47.7% front 52.3% rear? If so, the ballast in the back has got to go and if not, it can stay.

what size are the rear brakes? This page lists 12.8 and 11.8 inches.

Anyone else annoyed the BMW NA's page? I mean it lists the front tire size as being 215/44R-18...44? Anyone know what the actual weight distribution on the car is? Just ranting this afternoon I guess.

Yeah, I get that part. They left out the period or decimal point. But all the other typos make me unsure of what other info is correct and what is in error.
