When I bought my 328 ix, i didn't know it would lose more power from being an xi.
Then i added big wheels which added weight... The car with sick 16" wheels of similar weight had a lot more preppy, so I now just push the gas harder and it's still a blast to drive.
These are heavy cars btw, and 1 pound of turning weight =15 of sprung weight. Did i say that correctly?
Most people end up buying apex wheels for some serious weight savings, like 30% over stock. That's like equal to 150 sprung weight per wheel...4 passengers
At stock, I took my co-workers for a drive and floored the car. They were both very shocked at the power it had so I think expectations are relative. It convinced on to buy a bmw 335i
