F20 as big as E90
with too much free time at work i doodled out these arguably interesting statistics:
vehicle footprints in square inches(calculated as avg. track x wheelbase): E36: 5915 E46: 6277 E90: 6484 F30: 6697 E82: 6172 F20: 6470 the 1 series relative to the 3 series is more square and therefore deceptively large. |

oh absolutely, obviously these measurements don't factor in overhang, height etc. but they do, imo, in addition to cabin space, reflect the dynamic intent of the car in terms of for example the dynamic stability conferred by the relatively wide tracks.
