135 E82 vs M135 F20

Gymkhana · 09-24-2012, 08:33 AM

So i had a look on M135. Whats better in here ? its a bit more power in there - 50nm and 15 hp more in it. It has better sounding exhaust system and overall its all new body - F20. But i doubt that it will have better handling feel cause there is no more hydraulic system.
then, 135 E82 handles like a kart. It may be stiffer ,which is good.
It has DCT transmission with launch control, which , i belive , is better than the new 8 speed automatic trans.
But, its already old body. its about to go off production and etc.
The question is - what could be your choice ?
Thanks )

Not sure if we will get the current F20 hatch back body when it comes to the US, so I'll have to wait on the F20 coupe to see if I like the looks. I like the way our E82's look. I love the DCT in mine- I don't know how the 8 speed automatic could be better, except maybe slighly better fuel mileage, which I don't really care about.

E82 135i - no contest.

I do like the interior in the F20, it's definately nicer, and I'm sure the electronic suspension option is an improvement - and it's cheaper.....

But, I'd still buy a E82 135 over a F20 M135.

Don't forget that when the F20 Coupe comes to North America, it'll be a 2-series, with a M2 rumoured a year or two after that.
