It does feel like BMW chassis engineers are honing their craft on these cars to get ready for making the weight disappear on electric cars. But they are succeeding at that. Just would be better if they could also make the weight disappear literally.
I guess the question is, how will buyers react if the next M2 is slower than the M240i, especially if the M2 is more about being a "driver's car" then straight line speed. |
the only way to do it is to remove options, safety zones, a lighter weight chassis that is more bespoke and doesn't serve different masters.
A car be heavy and perform and handle well... weight isn't what it was 10-15yrs ago, just as car designs and make-up aren't.
