If you threw another 600-700 lbs in the trunk you'd be right there with the BMW at 50/50 AND the same curb weight of about 3500 lbs.

Personally why does it matter? The Si outhandles the 328i all day long and they are pretty evenly matched in the power department. $2000 of simple mods to the Si's suspension and engine and you'll slaughter the BMW in every performance category.

Honda did a pretty nice job with the handling on the Si leaving me with little to complain about in stock form besides the rear sway bar.
