Drives: 135i -> is350 -> Tesla M3 perf

Just remember, however light or fast the car is it can't touch M3's 0-60 of 4.4s. If we work backwards from there and constrain ourselves with the engine only outputting 330-340hp max then we can figure out how much weight saving is needed. I believe the 135i current does 4.8s. Does anyone have a rough estimate how much weight saving is needed to shave .2 seconds off? And is this realistic?

If it requires lighter window or cardboard trunk floors I dont believe it will make it over to USA. CSL never did.
