True, but you need to dig deeper, I bet the 328 coolers the X4M has to keep air temps down into the engine are far superior to the heat soak that is going on in the TH. Weight matters at 100+ along with aerodynamics.

Look at the X3M or X4M 0-150 times and the TH 0-150 times, after the 100 mark the TH slows down vs. the BMW due to weight (maybe aero?)
