Pondering the choice of a Dinan-tuned 235i vs the stock M2... on paper the Dinan235 handily beats the M2, especially for Torque. ...the stage-1 ttuned 235 is carrying nnearly 16% less weight for each ft-lb of twist available.
I realize I would have to throw about $7000 at the 235 to equip it with the right go-fast hardware: LSD, M Perf Brake kit, Dinan tune above, and that brings it close to the M2 price, as I understand it... correctly me if I'm worng there?
Granted, the M2 will include all the prober go-fast gear as standard equipment, it will have bragging rights, and different /possibly better aesthetics.
I also recognize that Dinan & others will have tunes for M2 eventually, probably very close to the 235 numbers, since it's basically the same N55,
So, you're back to aesthetics, the much abused M badge, a significant wait, and a small weight savings arguing for the M2, vesus have-it-now for the 235.
Amusing side note: the Ferrari 458 factors in at 5.48 lb/hp, but 8.23 lb/torque...both tunes on the 235i give you more twist-per-pound than a 458 (!)
Any thoughts?
