Well…what makes it a go-kart is not only the 0-60 times, but the size of the car, handling and the 0-60 times.

Yes, the 328xi is faster, exactly 0.6 second faster, in my book that’s not “much faster”. Now with 550xi you’re talking M3 0-60 times.

“(…) more Lexus then BMW” - Yeah, as of late calling a GS the new BMW (and vice versa) has been the name of the game for some car magazines, however I am yet to see a GS doing 0-60 in 4.7s (550xi).
