That's like paying $3,700 for a killer audio system vs $3,649. The numbers play tricks with our perception.
Oh well the M3 is 3,700 lbs I guess I better buy a Audi RS4 instead. Opps thats right...the RS4 weighs just as much. |
My understanding is that the EU number is with driver and 5kg luggage. The US spec that was just released is unladen, so that should be without driver and luggage, which means the difference between the US and EU numbers are more like ~200lbs (someone correct me if I'm wrong here). If that is indeed the case, that is a noticable difference when it comes to handling.
