By the way AMK the torque is the same and the M is heavier, there is the 84 killer wasps difference in power though.
135i = 400 Nm / 1,300 rpm
M3 = 400 Nm / 3,900 rpm

Valid point. I didn't get to really give the M3 the herbs but I reckon my SSTT 135i is quicker off the mark and more responsive.
The V8 does however make the grumble that translates to a rather nice vibration in your neather regions!! :biggrin:
