Not insulting anyone but you can see that a lot of Bmw owners are more worried about their image and inquiring about options. Bmw is not was it used to be its all about marketing lately. Im happy about my 1 in terms of straight line speed...but it ends there. No top end, sloppy suspension...I could modify the car like I used to but I bought it no to do so. Car is not focused enough for guys like you and I. Im seriously thinking about getting vintage cars and a decent daily...nothing lately is catching my attention. Sure M3's, C63's are fun but they are (disposable) cars. I'm looking at old Ur-Q, old M3's those are the kind of car that you can keep I can consider the s2k in that category also. You wont find a 2.0-2.2 High reving 4 banger around(expect from the FWD civic Si 06+)

Bforbes:I have two friends with F/I S2K's(AP1)one vortech S/C, one turbo and they said holy crap that 135I is fast(I had AA tune back then).But like I said brakes are sick but suspension really lacks. The mass produced 135I wont cut it....if they come out with an M version it would be amazing like you said but it will never come out. Sometimes I feel like Im driving a mustang.......
