Title: The real ultimate driving machine
Post by: 12,000 RPM on April 14, 2015, 05:22:18 PM
Wat happens when u take a 135i and use BMW parts to build a 400WHP balance monster?

Its cool... and I still love the 135i... But that build must have cost a god awful amount of money to wind up with something that probably a mildly modded M3 could match in most ways while being more streetable.

I hate these guys talking like they performed some great engineering feat. All they did was throw money at it. Awesome car.

On paper, yes, doesn't make sense

On the road and in your hands, the smaller footprint and lower weight are huge. No way u are getting any E9x to 3100lbs with a full interior. Hell, gutted. And the shorter wheelbase is huge for agility.
