Turbos are top end heaven.
off the line grunt equals your 135I you have it all twisted your car has more torque by 5 ft lbs. N/A equals high revving Hp when yo have a true ///M engine 414 at 8300rpm. try and spool your turbo motor that high!


Hello your turbo does not pull all the way to redline! First of all i'm not starting a M3 superiority thing i just want to state facts ok. BMW factory Specs for the M3 Maximum output/414hp/8300 rpm
Maximum torque/rpm295lb-ft/3900 rpm

M3 equals max Hp at redline!


135 specs below you run out of oomph at 5000 once your torque goes flat and when you are flat out at over 100 mph your little 1 series cant pull like an M3


Nominal output @ rpm300 hp@ 5800 rpm
Maximum torque 300lb-ft @ 1200-5000 rpm

Once the 335 guys save enough cash they purchase an M3 and don't look back. It is a waste of your time and speed to pull your car to 6000 rpm once your torque curve goes flat that extra 800 rpm does yo no good. The M3 power band is so linear it keeps making power from it's max torque all the way to redline. I played around with plenty of 335 and 135 on the autobahn once you hit 100mph the M3 walks away well your turbos are beging for air!
