I would agree with the last post. These magazines are all over the place as far as stats go in car reviews. It really depends on what mag you read. Just going off of this one for an example with what had caught my eye, Car and Driver says 8.6 lbs per hp for the M3. Well if that were true then the the new M3 would way 3560 lbs. BMW says 3704 lbs. C&D says 8.9 lbs per hp for the benz and again if that were true the benz would way 4013 lbs when Mercedes claims it only ways 3813 lbs. So if they cant even get the hard facts right, how can we trust the performance numbers? In the end they are all so close I don't think it really matters.
