At this point I think I will wait for an 09 with options above to drop around low 40s and then pick up a TPC turbo kit for extra power. |

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. |

Your throwing to many details and insults so I'll just give it back to the OT. Agree with some of your comments. 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. Last edited by JB135MDCT; 06-10-2010 at 01:01 AM.. |

Lots of decisions to be made up to the M1 test drive reports, that is from enthusiasts and not some magazine. |

friction = ma...
more weight = more friction Given the SAME tire sizes, yes more weight sux. But seeing lighter cars usually end up with smaller wheels, what's the complain here?

I think he's referring to Newton's 2nd Law (Force=Mass x Acceleration). Friction is a type of force, but the equation that takes friction into account ends up being Net Force = ma

Now this is lightweight. Quads would make it more heavy and more out of balance. I believe stock is 6into1? Grant, Why are you checking this thread? Will you be trading in the 2.7 for an M1? |

Yeah, I don't think any (many) cars had cats in 73 - much more common in 74. I would definitely get a manual gearbox. Targa Newfoundland sounds fun!
