Here are the differences and outlining contradictions what he's saying:
Weight:
135i (~1450kg); M3 (1650kg); M5(1830kg)
Cost:
135i (~33,000); M3 (51,000); M5 (64600)
So, the M3-135 weight/cost differences are very similar to the M3-M5 weight/cost difference.
This is indeed rubbish.

The weight of the 135i has already been published: 1560kg (EU standard).
So the weight to HP ratios are:
135: 5.1 kg/HP
M3: 3.9 kg/HP
M5: 3.6 kg/HP
