They claim its damn near as fast as the M3. 300 hp in that tiny thing would be fun.

The 135i has me pretty tempted too. I might pick one up once I'm out of school (and debt) for a few years.

Have one on order. I was going to get a C63 but thought a simple piggyback, intake and cat back and I'll be close to C63 numbers for ~$30k cheaper.


Some random pics:

This is exactly how I want mine. Debating on the red interior as well but I wonder if I would grow tired of it.

Not sure how this would do against the C63, but I know the C63 gets about 10mpg in city driving.

i have a red interior and was wondering the same thing before i bought my car. now about 6 months later and still not tired of it. it is a nice contrast and everyone makes positive comments about it.

It would be a lease for me. I don't know how I would like the look of it just yet.

Red interior is very very nice. If you get tired of red interior, then you would probably get tired with every other color as well.

135 for $40k with a few options + $2k at most for a piggy back or Dinan reflash + $2k for KW V2 installed + $2k for an LSD installed (preferably with a lower rear screw) + $4k for some MORR wheels/Toyo tires + $2k for exhaust/filter replacement installed = as fast as an M3 with $20K in my pocket
