What you write here is anything but objective though. Of course a modded 135 will be faster than a 1m and m3. That's the entire point of modding it. I've never heard of someone modding their car to make it slower. By the same token a Maita can absolutely annihilate all three of these cars. I'm talking take 5 seconds off the best lap time listed. It will be a bit 'modded' of course.. |

^ hopefully you read the previous post. I wasn't saying my car is better I was offering the results many have wondered and hoped for, a head to head comparison with the same pro driver on the same track. the previous comment that the 1M and the 135 are very different is a very silly statement. different, yes. very different, no. btw, my engine is stock. just suspension mods!
don't get me wrong if the 1M was available when I bought my car I would have def gone for it but would I notice a big difference in performance, guess I already answered that.

This argument was triggered by an ignorant statement, but let me remind you guys, this thread is not about 135i vs 1M,ect. Out of respect to OP, who wrote a great article, i would suggest everyone to get back on topic

Exactly, I just stated my opinion that they are not very similar. I've driven both, you haven't.

Gosh, I've read all these posts and I'm pretty sure no one said any car is "bad" or "better". But pretty much everyone said these cars are "different". The bottomline is they are all great BMW's. No doubt you can make a 135 faster then a stock 1M or M3 but who really cares? If you want the faster car, your only held back by the amount of money you have/spend. Have at it guys! I for one loved my 135 and all my M3's. The 1M is just the newest toy available, so I got one. Can you beat me on the track with whatever you drive? Maybe, but I don't want to take my 1M , or any car for that matter, home in pieces.
Buy what you like, like what you drive and have fun. It's not a c%ck measuring contest!

Iron Man-
Human man with lots of high tech gadgets to get the job done. Superman- Non human with nearly no gadgets, just pure visceral power to get the job done. Good write up, good read. Just a different take. But, I don't own either car, so don't mind me. |

James, This is a fantastic review, thanks for taking the time to post it.
Now I just have to take one for a spin and see for myself.

Anyone who says the 135i and the 1M are not extremely different, clearly hasn't driven both. Your argument on similarities can't be based on paper, and driving doesn't happen on paper.
The driving experience is completely different. It's that 'je ne said quoi' that all M cars have that always makes them come out on top of the reviews after having lost in every category. And anyways, this thread is about a man who is comparing his last car to this one. How you even brought the 135i in here is beyond me. Stay on topic of GTFO! Quote:
And great write up. Loved the analogy. |

In the last 2 pages, this thread was hijacked completely! People, please respect OP's review which IMHO was right on the money, great right up
PS It was never about the 135's |

Where have you been? lol You just bumped an almost 2month old thread. You had to dig to find it.

I seriously doubt that the 1M could beat an E30 318i because once my sister lost a drag race to one in her 128 'vert. This makes me an expert on the matter.
