Feels fast but not so fast.
Looking for a 135i and hoping it has that same balance of fast and fun without being over the top. From what I'm reading here, they may've achieved that balance well. Now if I could just find that 6 speed....

Having had both, the 135i really is the perfect mix. I LOVE this car and I've also done some minor tweaks that have made it even more enjoyable. This car is perfect at around 350hp. I would not go beyond a COBB tune as even with that, it doesn't have enough rubber to transfer it to the pavement. My buddy from work just got a 997 Turbo and the grip and composure that car has at speed makes my 1er seem like an untamed stallion.
