They're slow. I smoked a guy in a white 244 a couple weeks back! (same car I drive, by the way) I wonder if he was thinking "why doesn't my car do that?"

"How much faster is the 240T??"

Lots. Just try keeping up with one that you're trying to follow. 1st to 25mph, 2nd to 45mph, and he's still EASILY pulling away, and quickly. I eventually catch up most of the time, but the acceleration is no comparison (this was B230F/M47 vs. B21FTi/M46).
