I so envy how much of a bargain that sounds like!

Maybe Obioban can chime in with regard to this comparison.
I got my 128i down to 3070lbs without me in it after putting in a cage and race seats (mostly a track car). It's so tossable at this point, ive been in the E36 M3 a handful of times and get the same feeling
