OK: Ultimate drive today, results are in.. new //M3 vs 135i
Ultimate drive challenge day event where a lineup of cars were offered for test drives, just sign up.. hop in and drive! I drove the 135i, //M3, and Alpina B7 (7 series supercharged V8)
135i... its a freak machine!!! wolf in sheep clothing! I drove the PISS out of that new //M3 and Brandon (friend and bmw club member) in the 135 was dead even beside me on the highway( 60mph to 110mph!!), and he (135i) beat me in the //M3 two previous times as i was also getting familiar with the 6 spd stick when i started in second gear and another time when i was at 3500RPM in 3rd and so on.... in the //M3 the only way to have a chance is to honestly keep the REVS high, otherwise the torque of the 135i will pass you and will then on maintain the lead, sorry but it is what it is. :biggrin: also, the 135i vs. the Alpina B7.... the 135 jumped out ahead as the B7 creaped up and passed, then the B7 shifted and the 135 passes by.. yada yada back forth.. basically a door to door run as well. Incredible. |

Sounds like a day in heaven...wish I could do something like that. How did you get hooked up with this? Is it open to the public?

yes, it was open to the public. They travel state-to-state for the Ultimate Drive which the event is for charity, and it does not cost anything. Go to your local BMW dealership and ask them about it. They should tell you more.
I believe their next stop is in Texas. its just amazing of how awesome this 135 seriously is compared to all the others. And yes i can drive a stick very well if anyone just thinks it depends on just driver experience behind the wheel from when i drove the //M3. |

Hey Redy,
Thanks for the post. Just registered for the drive which arrives in Oregon, June 14th. BMW's website states an M3 would be available, I didn't believe it, apparently it's true. Looking forward to being disappointed with an M-car. :wink: Thanks again.

yeah, I talked to Kyle D. saturday at the autoX and he was telling me about it. Hey did you used to have a Black E46M3 6-speed? If so I think we met each other a long, long time ago.
