The 135i is a nice little car, but I think the preference depends on the driver. If you like it great but the M3 is a totally different car.

I found the engine anemic and suffered at higher RPMS, just when it was getting good it got bad and ugly. Yes it makes a ton of low torque but it makes no long power like the M3. I had a 335 so I know the engine, it was a Stg III Dinan and it made a ton of torque, but it doesn't compare to the M3.

The two really are distinctly different cars. The turbo engine is a dream but oen day for some it may turn to a nightmare. I wanna see how they last over the next few years.
