Haha yeah Zuzu chilling out for a bit :-D
Although, I will say at a track day I went to I was as fast or faster than a 1M whilst running possibly the worst tyre combo ever and only just tune, downpipes and a swaybar. I guess there are many factors, putting the same driver in both cars should yield different results, but just because you have the better car on paper doesn't mean it will be better on the road/track. |

dont get me wrong, I just see a 135/1m as a pile of parts and i figure (rightly or not) that if i take the 1m parts and shove them on a 135 then i got a 1m, simple. I am curious though of those who had a 135 and upgraded to a 1m did you notice any improvements in track times? |

Ian i'm not trolling but would be interested if you took both to the track or just the 1m? How about a trip to wakefield on the 28th? |

The only difference between the M3/335i vs the 1M/135i comparison is the engine. But with the 1M v 135, the engine isn't all that different. Behaves very similarly compared to the M3/335i.
The 1M is more fun, and it looks the bees knees. But if we are talking track times, a modded 135i will be faster than a stock 1M. Ian, trust me, I've seen it first hand. I didn't even need suspension to do it. And it was my first time at the track! |

I'm no Aryton that's for sure. Just trying to say that the car is not the only thing that matters. Like you said, if you can't get the power to the ground, what's the point? There were I think 4 other 135's there that day that were just as quick or quicker. Heck, there was even an n55 135 there with only a tune that was sometimes quicker than me...
Ian, I think you're just slightly biased :-p Especially when it comes to colour ;-) |

Of course the 1M is a better car, no question about it. I'm just not paying new car price for anything ever again.

Was just speaking my thoughts - didn't think this was going to be so hotly debated - my bad!
In any case, with regards to second hand car - yes, savings to be had. But I dunno, something special about being the first one to drive it. Yeah I know I know - is it worth $15-20k? I guess that's personal. Not to mention you don't know how the car has been treated prior to you getting in it. Wasn't there this vid of a new white 1m being hooliganised by some techs (burnouts, wheelies) a little while ago? Massive rage about it not being able to be sold (I'm sure it eventually did) - would you buy that car? Having said that though, you could look at the flip side and just thank them for 'breaking in' the car for you I guess it comes down to how think a new car should be 'broken in'. |

Mr Kenny, if you use this car as a tax deduction and you get EPP (4 years free service which I think is not transferable) then new is the go IMO. QUALIFYING STATEMENTS You must buy the right car, in the RIGHT colour (like a 1m) Don't go to exxy, like a porka hahahahaha Keep Mods to a minimum (tough sometimes hehehe) |

I've bought new cars several times and it's fabulous. I love everything about it. Then I got older and uglier and tighter with my money. Can't bring myself to buy a new car now when I can wait a year or so and get what I want with little to no compromise and save so much money.
Each to their own, enjoy life however you see fit!

I'm with Kenny I also don't believe in financing depreciating assets, and won't buy new again it isn't worth it for me and my circumstances.
However everyone's different and nothing beats having the first of a new model off the rank, that new car smell and 0 odometer! |
