that is sooooooooooooo badass!!!!!!

:happy anim:

asv · 02-18-2008, 09:49 PM

Thanks guys! I would of had it up sooner, but Imovie was not liking the DIVX format, so I had to find a free converter.

Year1of1 · 02-18-2008, 09:53 PM

amazing to see the 1er in action... but i'll save my negative comments in fear of being flamed

993 911 · 02-18-2008, 09:57 PM

No, please share.

I'm disappointed (as well as everyone else on this forum) that this car generates so much understeer and that it doesn't have a true LSD.

NJKSC27 · 02-18-2008, 09:58 PM

ok...

pros:
It drives hard and fast
looks good in action from SOME angles
it beat a porsche

cons:
bad body roll compared to the caymen
looks a little odd from some angles
rear end seems too lifted or something

theanhdy · 02-18-2008, 10:00 PM

Yay for 135i now give it to the STIG!!!

TazioNYC · 02-18-2008, 10:02 PM

I thnk Plato is worth a half a second a lap over Tiff, so I say the cars are probably tied. 135 is looked very impressive, though. Pretty exciting!

Italteen3 · 02-18-2008, 10:06 PM

I prefer the Stig to these two guys but for now I will take that! Appreciate you putting that up. Did well in the slalom and 1.8 seconds better in one lap is pretty decent. Good video, great car, and wow I cant wait for this car. What I dont understand is how a tv show can get it wrong that this car does not have a LSD?!?

Anyone else annoyed at the facial expressions of the blonde woman, especially her mouth?

SlickShift · 02-18-2008, 10:09 PM

I'm surprised how well the e-diff works. It really looked like the car had a real limited-slip unit.

shartmaster · 02-18-2008, 10:10 PM

that is just pure sex

TazioNYC · 02-18-2008, 10:15 PM

Plato is a better driver than the Stig. He's won several championships.

TazioNYC · 02-18-2008, 10:15 PM

Plato was able to get it going on the final drifting run. Too bad they said it feels like a sedan.

well seeing as how this car is my daily driver , i purchased a 128 and i dont care bout speed, i was happy w/ the video... i did find some of the angles of the car to be unflattering and the a$$ of the car is more awkward then i originally thought.

but overall i couldnt stand the english guys talking , i actually muted it at one point... i dont understand the hype over this show.

darknightohio · 02-18-2008, 10:26 PM

Fifth Gear does not have much hype, its Top Gear that everyone raves about. (I am a Top Gear fan)

TazioNYC · 02-18-2008, 10:29 PM

I like Vicki B-H.

theanhdy · 02-18-2008, 10:32 PM

merge two threads please...

EBMCS03 · 02-18-2008, 10:39 PM

I thought the Cayman would win. not win easily but win... yet the 135 won. Good Job BMW!
