Acceleration and laptimes of the new M3 are SIGNFICANTLY better than the previous E46 M3. Simply put, the E90/E92 M3 should be faster than the 135i in EVERY way.

Even a tuned 135i simply cannot keep up with a stock new M3.
I beg to differ. I have run against 2 different e92 M3s and they barely start pulling on me till over 120. A tuned 135i can definitely hold its own against a new m3. The car has no torque as amazing as it is. Torque is what wins drag races.
