135i is 200lbs lighter and both vehicles have the same power plant.

I spent yesterday switching between a 335i and 135i for autocross. The 135i is definitely faster and more fun.
But if you drag race him with your DCT, I hope you can figure out how to launch it better than I did. |

Wow, I read and heard that the 135i and the E46 M3 were about the same speed and that the M3 had slightly better handling but didn't know our hot little # did this well in comparison.
Way back when they said the 1 didn't handle as well as the 335i because it had the usual understeer so I was a little surprised seeing the 335i come in last. |

Actually, most tests I've seen show the 335i to be quicker on the track.
Mainly due to it's better sorted suspension, which counts for a LOT on a track. The 135i has the straight line advantage, though it's not too big, so if a MT 135i and MT 335i were to race it could be a drivers race. |

All the talk about the 1 series suspension is true. It ain't the best nor that great. It's pretty darn good though for OEM. |

I'm sure the technology since the 2006 M3 has improved in today's car but yeah I know the extra money for the M3 is going somewhere.
Only had the car for 2 weeks and has been raining half the time but I'm sure the 1 handles just fine. |
