I'm sure this car will be fantastic to drive. Anyone who just wants 1/4 mile times will be better off in a tuned 135i.

+1. By "sound appropriate" I just meant that it doesn't meet expectations based on previously quoted predictions. Poor choice of words. 330hp and 369 torque in this car would be fun, esp with the M tuned chassis. A little more horsepower never hurts....
