I hope this isn't a repost, but I just spotted this video on You Tube and wow does it show how the 135i handles in wet! Great video, too bad I don't understand Portuguese. =(

I wish I understand what he said

That was fun. Think of Portuguese as sorta' Spanish and some of the narrative becomes comprehensible. He did however utter, "Ooops!":biggrin::wink:

Wish I could drive like that.

Not sure who the driver is or where that track was but his lines sure tightened up with DTC off.

I think I heard "rapido".

Hi guys, so the translation of the main points of the review is:

the 135i is the rebirth of the 60's 2002tii
with the dtc on it isn't that much fun to drive
with the dtc in the intermediate position the fun increases
with the dtc off the car is great to drive and very easy to control even in the wet
the driver dislikes the electronic LSD, he prefers the one the M cars have but he doesn't make a big fuss about it
in the end he says that it's a very tempting car as it costs about half than a M3 (in Portugal of course)

The main idea you get from his words is that it's a driver's car, very easy to control in the wet and that it's really fun to drive!

Good drives from Portugal!
(20.000km in my 120d coupe and loving it)

Seeing those wind turbines, and that large group of Sedona 135i's, that was at the introductory press event at the Gotlandring in Sweden.

I agree that it was pretty interesting to see the differences between the 3 states of traction control.

very cool video. the 135i certainly looks sexy when it drifts
