It has been thought that it has a bit more ouummffff but no evidence of this…

Some of the LWP cars seem to run a bit faster stock…

I like not having the rear seats and more engine noise.

X2....same here. Plus, for me, the LWP bundles together all of the other options I would have spec'd in my build.

The evidence is in the 0-60 timing by multiple magazines that dropped .1 or .2 seconds from the non LTW turbo s...they definitely changed a couple parameters as 80 lbs off doesn't yield that kind of 0-60 difference. Im pumped for mine coming in a little!

It's not the 80 lbs for that difference...so there's something that's not the same...it may be running different parameters on something that isn't related to overall HP and Torque alternatively.

Lol, everyone thinks they have the prettiest wife She might weigh a tiny bit less but she doesn't go any better than a full fat one, except on the internet. In fact she's more awkward to get in and out of and can't take a four-some.

Didn't do buckets for a reason, but .2 to 60 and nearly .5 seconds and another 5mph for quarter mile is a bit of a strange difference still for not much taken out of a pig of a car, repeated across multiple tests. I've had 3 of the non LTW ones, they are all great...still, interesting.

It's just a few under the skin MY24 tweaks if you're comparing to x3 older ones. Lets see a 24 LTW vs 24 Full Fat for real results.

These tests were done with 2021 and 2022 models respectively. If they updated the entire range in 2023 or 2024 to be identical then that's great...but again, every test showed the different results. I can't say my 2023 felt any quicker than my 2021 coupe but hey, who knows!
