I see how the societal hype of these cars and motors have provided a sense of drama when there isn't really much anyway.
The 435i is no different to the outgoing e92 in that sense except we had the benchmark of the ///M which up at the reef wasn't much quicker 0-100km/h AND, coming from the previously N/A line-up made everything new and exciting. The new car I'm sure is a masterpiece in its own right, but we will be BLOWN (pun intended) away by the new ///M.
Will the ///M435i have 235kw and 450nm's? I better hope so, seen as the normal 435i doesn't.
