Don't Tell me This is not amazing,
135i vs E92 M3...

Weight
E92: 3704lbs
135i: 3373lbs

power to weight
E92: 8.9 lbs/hp
135i: 11.2 lbs/hp
chipped: 9.5 lbs/hp (With a moderate chip, nothing too extreme)

Handling
E92: handles better
135i: with some coilovers, (maybe a full LSD), better rubber and strut braces the 135i could be a very very nimble little car.

Reviews
although the M3 is still the king of the mountain there seems to be a few general consensuses about the car... its not very engaging, the steering has reduced feel and its generally a great GT car more than a street ready race car as the M3s of old were... To be honest if the reviews were all glowing I would not be having this discussion...

Price
E92, cost 65% more to buy and therefore pay yearly tax on... Insurance is 40% higher... It drinks ~25% more gas...






AMAZING!!!
