They state:
"With a power of 360 HP and an unladen weight of 1485 kg, the open-top
roadster from BMW accelerates from a standing start to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds. Even the most demanding driver will be delighted with this performance"

An unmidified 35i already accelerates 0-60 in 4.8 sec according to the Road & Track road test. So 0-62 (100/km/h) must be 4.85 - 4.9 seconds. The realistic figure this additional 60 hp must be getting this figure down to, is 4.6 seconds or so.

The 35i weighs 3483 lbs / 1580 kg. Where are they getting 3273 lbs /1485 kg from? Their 4 wheels can't possibly be a combined 210 lbs lighter than the factory wheels.
