You're discussing car weight and magazine articles. I recall you suggesting to me to stick to the thread topic, or take create a new thread. You want to take your own advice now? 
You seem to be a smug little know-it-not. 
If you're such the master enthusiast, then why did you get that over weight 135i DCT? That's a rhetorical comment btw.
There are plenty of options for people like you who always harp on the weight issue. It's called a good set of tools, and effort to remove as much weight as you think is proper.
Cars sold in the US market have to have an ever increasing level of safety and emissions standards, which directly translates to more weight that has to be there. You can go ahead and remove the airbags, cat-cons, rear seat belt assemblies, and any other item you think makes your car too heavy, it's your choice.
The magazine issue has been discussed ad nauseam.
I've counted ads versus articles in various auto mags, and the "only there to sell cars" argument doesn't hold water.
When BMW's are reviewed there are plenty of articles that point out the bad and the good. BMW tends to build cars that driving enthusiasts like to drive, and since car mags are written by and for enthusiasts then it stands to reason why BMW's are often written about in a positive light.
Of course, you're entitled to you own beliefs sans proof. |
I'm not bashing the M1 or the 135. I waited couple of years and decided to get serious, and at the same time M1 news started to trickle in and DCT option. At this point I lost 2 years of my life. I was ready to wait another 2 years for the M1. This would have made 4 yrs lost. So I decided to get 135 w/DCT knowing very well the imperfections and the risks. After 4 weeks I am very happy with my decision. Now the hard part is, do I keep it stock or mod and/or get the M1 when it comes out?
Your throwing to many details and insults so I'll just give it back to the OT. Agree with some of your comments.

Quads=working ballast & more balance & faster? Perhaps I should change my attitude.

Chill, This was actually a compliment. I now have 2nd thoughts about quad functionality. Perhaps I need to figure out how use smilies. Take it easy on me , I just started Text messaging a few months ago. I'm 20 years younger now and trying to catch up.
