Thanks Drew, cool information for us numbers people. That TT Gallardo number is numbing! I remember you from the Audi forums- mostly due to your same avatar, and you getting into a 3 series and posting there about it. And now that I've been here see you had a SC m3( good luck with the new motor). I too am getting an m3 ( after an A4 avant, S5 and a 997 GT2).

I don't think it will be easy to shave 400-500lbs off of a car like this when converting it to an M variant. I'm not trying to sound like a pessimist, but when you use fatter tires, bigger brakes, a bigger engine, etc, you tend to weight more. I can't think of an M variant that weighs less than the regular models they're based on. The good news is that the high-strength steel makes these cars tank-like during crashes. The new Bimmers are ranking highly in crash safety tests. Also, this is the convertible. The F12 coupe should weigh just a hair over 4,000lbs, which gives me more hope that BMW might be able to get the M variant south of the two-ton mark with liberal use of lightweight materials.

I want Vickie's mobile number. I think judging these big roadsters is a lot more subjective than sedans or smaller roadsters.

I find it hard to believe the 6 is quicker than the Jag.
I like BMW's too but I am tired of test drivers biased reports. The 6 is too big. I miss Bangle. |
