Its definitely possible to to go sub 5 in a 135.
That's very cool! Can you elaborate on the accelerometer?

To the OP, the actual number for 0-60 is hard to pin down, but you can FEEL the car's capabilities in comparison to others. When I drive my 911 Carrera S, I can feel that it is faster than the 135i, but for me the 135i is fast enough, regardless of the actual numbers. It is fast enough to still give that exhilerating sensation (slight adrenaline rush) I like when I stomp on it. (which I rarely do, of course... LOL!)

For me, the hard numbers are important, but even more important is the way the car feels when I go full bore... and the 135i never disappoints!
