Default GS350 F-sport outhandles latest 335i M-sport

Just to point out, the 3825lb 2013 GS350 has better handling numbers than the M-sport equipped 2012 335i which is 300lbs lighter at 3586lbs :

2013 GS350 braking 60-0 105feet, skidpad 0.91g, MT figure 8 25.7sec @ 0.70g
2012 335i braking 60-0 106feet, skidpad 0.90g, MT figure 8 25.7sec @ 0.71g

2 ways of looking at this :

BMW weight gains are OUT-OF-CONTROL when a car a full size larger can match/beat the handling of the M-sport equipped latest and greatest 335i.

OR

The new 2013 GS350 F-sport handling is World-Beating

I don't like how the new 3-series looks (waiting for the new IS), but the 4GS is very impressive for such a big car!

I'll go with the second assumption.
