Driven to the same speed around a track or accelerating, the 135i is easier to drive. It is not near full acceleration if it is matching a 128i. You can make a mis-judgement on the timing of a shift and still keep up.
Applying full throttle at the wrong time without DSC is more likely to lead to an issue with the 135i. More power = more potential for large amounts of oversteer.

Thank you, somebody that actually makes sense!
And sorry but I still think I would have a better time driving a fast car slow, and then slowly working up to the limit. I've driven a miata 10/10ths, and I've driven a C5 Z06 10/10ths, but even at 7/10ths the Corvette is faster, and more exciting to drive.
Maybe I'm weird, I don't like to have full traction mashing the throttle in first gear out of a hairpin. I have more fun when the rear-end jumps out at 80mph on a sweeper with 400+hp on tap, and I let off, it snaps back in place and I ease into the throttle again, trying to find the max acceleration while not overwhelming the tires.
