fantastic blog! and toned down for us non-engineers!!!

it looks like that the BMW engineers really tried to lighten the car without incorporating carbon fiber as much as possible with the aluminum parts but kept safety as a high priority with the high-strength steel. wonder if they made the trunk aluminum if that would make a big diff...

also wonder when BMW will incorporate fixed piston calipers on the rears... seems like the P-cars all have fixed in the rear.
