How about "Pathetic Green"?
I would not speek so about the 120i. It is one of the most powerful NA 4 you can actually find on the market (new). The most powerful are the Renault Clio RS and Honda Civic Type-R. All other 4 cylinders, VAG and Mercedes,..... are FI. The 120i is not a sport model, but if it was, it would be better than your 135i. Your 135i weighs 1560 kg, the 120i weighs 1375 kg. Your 135i does not like HR, the 120i does like. The 120i has better throttle response than your 135i. The M3 E30 also had 4 cylinders. The 320si WTCC has the same engine but as the 120i, but in race version and it makes 275 HP and revs up to 8.500 rpm. Not at all saying the 135i is bad, it is a very good car for daily drive and straight line power, even not that bad curves and track, but for curves and track there are better, and I hope this for what there is going to be tha M1.
