Message	has a different final drive ratio, different steering ratio, different brakes, different wheel & tire pkg, etc. (Not sure on the differences in suspension tuning, but there's likely something there too). I just read an R&T article that featured the M235i and M2 together and the M2 won in every performance category, not just straight line acceleration. (E.g. Lateral Gs was 0.99 vs. the M235i's 0.92) Add whatever Dinan or juice box whatever chip you want and that still doesn't make the M235i an M2. Inzane
