Otherwise, the M3 is a better DD - rides better and more relax around town, and a better track car. It just makes feeling the torque on your backside impossible because the fun starts at 7k rpm and you are already over the speed limit.

That's a valid point. I certainly noticed that when I drove a M-DCT M3 a few months back...I felt a little short changed on take off and felt the 135i had more herbs off the line. Granted..you can't really boot the test car when the salesman is sitting next to you!
When I tracked my SSTT 135i a few weeks back the instructor said on THREE occasions something that sounded like "F*#K this is a quick car!!!"
