Curious how the thrust feels.. more/less/same. Maybe its more tail happy.

No one has dynoed the thing yet, and judging from the numbers released by BMW I cant and dont expect the 1M to feel more powerful or quicker than a tuned 135, but like I said earlier just reading peoples words gives me that impression. Again, its very subjective... I own a car putting out over 500 tq, to me being pushed into your seat is very different than to someone who stepped up to a 135 from a civic. The sentence.. "the car really pulls" is pointless without a reference point. Just trying to get an idea.

I think someone wrote about tires breaking loose in 2nd gear. Did they experience that in a 135 with a tune? If not then that speaks volumes since the rubber is wider on the M.

In the end I guess its moot because adding the same tune to the M should bring it to the same point as it was on a 135.
