I do a heap of short trips. Most of the time I couldn't even expereience the 135 cause the oil wouldn't even reach proper operating temp/time to give it some!!!!  |
i sold my XR5 to get a 135i, and i haven't been disappointed either
seriously, the XR5 is a great car... very smooth, and the engine loves to rev. The only thing i didn't like about it was the front wheel drive. If there was no such thing as the 135i, i would have kept the XR5.
Get a Dreamscience Unit (ECU flash hand held device) for around $1000 (or second hand for around $700), and you'll be laughing... it's good for around 200kw/400Nm on the Race + mode.
