Not so heavy

[impulsE89]

After hearing so much about how the E89 is heavy because of that "heavy" metal top, it turns out that the 2020 m40i weighs exactly the same.
Also I tried to price them both out, but the packages and features make it difficult with leather now optional even on the M40i and the premium package all different. The new one may be slightly lower MSRP than a 35is.
Dealers have the 30i in stock now. They do not seem to be hot sellers?

That's something that always annoyed me a bit. Yes, the E89 is heavy for it's size, but it seems like damn near everyone takes it to mean it's just plain heavy overall which it really isn't. Some people think it weighs more than a 1, 2, or even 3 series... O.o

A subtle distinction, to be sure!

Well, I swapped my E85 for a E89. The E89 certainly feels much heavier. Picked up 400lbs in the exchange.
