Its heavy but with things like standard dual front and side airbags along with more safety features built into the frame, sports car made for daily use are just getting heavier.

3000lbs is light to us today but we so easily forget cars like the 78 Porsche 911 RS that weighed significantly less than 3k.

That being said, it matters to me more how the car performs than how much it weighs. I guess you can say "what if" the car was even lighter? But, we dont have that option. At least not until the CSL comes out. If there is in fact a CSL. And even then I like features like AC and HiFi Stereo so I guess in a way I am hypocrite. I really appreciate the compromise that the M3 pulls off so well. I also am nothing but tickled pink that despite all its flaws, the M3 still gets higher marks than MB and Audi... even the flawed steering is better than competitors, at least according to C&D.
