(Compared to the 135i) I don't understand how less horsepower, less torque, and awd (all at a higher RPM) can make a 12.9 to 13.0 stock?? I'm not sure even with shorter gearing that it could muscle that..
If you go to evom.net you can find time slips of drivers with stock cars hitting 12's easily. For example, the S2000, you see magazine times at 14.0 - 14.3 stock, but there are lots like lots of people on S2ki.com that has hit as low as 13.6 stock in a S2000.
