Agreed. The CLA mass/ boot etc would be a more matched rival.
Any car can win a 400m drag race. Throw in bends, where braking, handing and throttle response is tested and its a different story. The M2 does a 7,58 'Ring time against the Mercs 8,10.
Also, reading the comments most people making about a 2 lt beating a 3lt etc etc etc, the same applies when people used to boast when a 6,2lt v8 was ip against a 4,0lt. (55% larger engine)
Or a 5,5lt v8 against a 3,2 straight 6.
Bmw didnt build a robot racer, they built a track machine for daily enjoyment
