Salesman: New car weighs 3,879 lbs, Sir.

Customer: But, but, isn't that an increase of nearly 300 lbs?

S: Uh, yes, however, that's just 12% more.

C: 12%! Exactly! Too much. *slaps roof of car* What is this, an M5?

S: Well, Sir, but the power is up by 21%! It all cancels out.

C: Ehh, I don't think so. What else is new, then?

S: It's got this M Drift Meter which rates your drifts; the maximum is five stars. Your 2016 doesn't even have CarPlay! Yesterday on a test drive, though, someone got 4.5 but he, sadly, sent it into a ditch...
My hope is BMW went after the Alfa and not the Audi/Benz.

Alfa weighs over 3800lbs, but some reviewers said it felt 2800lbs on a back road and was much more fun and agile than the F80. Engineering magic! TBD
