Good point, that's just plain pathetic. Given the F30 forms the basis for the F80 chassis, maybe the F80 won't be the stellar outperformer that everyone is expecting unless weight goes way down. When Car & Driver said they prefer the handling dynamics for the E90 generation and had they staged a comparo with the F30 they thought the E90 would win--everyone poo-pood on C&D for being biased, in the pockets of Audi, BMW doesn't spend as much ad $$s anymore among other conspiracy theories. The beauty of testing and measuring results is that numbers don't lie.
