It has lost much of its versatility, not yet being a true sports car
Can you go back another 10 years and compare that to the E30 Evo then? It's another 150ish kilos lighter than the E46 CSL. Be it safety standards or consumer taste, it's hard to avoid the extra weight. At least they've given us proportional power increases.
