It isn't even close between the two. Not knocking the 128, but the M3 can as easily fit 285s square as the 1 can fit 255s (probably easier), the weight between the two is similar, and with just bolt ons the E46 M3 makes well over 300whp, compared to what, 240-250 on the high end for the 128?
This is exactly what I'm saying
