Well it's been about 3 1/2 years since my STi was stock so I can't really remember what it felt like back then. It has about 380whp and has springs/sways so yeah, it's much much faster than my stock 135i.

I really have no need to do anything to my 135i because as a daily driver it has great power and an amazing ride. I got tired of the harshness of my STi on a day to day basis, plus with the big turbo and FMIC it isn't really setup for city driving.

I think if you want a really fast car you get the STi because it has such an amazing aftermarket. If you want an amazingly engineered car out of the box that is both fast and comfortable you get the 135i. I enjoy the 135i so much more for daily driving, but my STi still sends shivers down my spine everytime I drive it fast.
