Your basing all your ignorant post based on specs, but we know that those can only tell helf the story. Thee "feel" and mauverability isn't found on the spec sheet. Go pick up the lastest EVO magazine and read the Best M article a couple of times to gwet an idea of how specs don't mean EVERYTHING.

Yes, on papaer, the 135i doesn't look that much different. But you don't drive a car from a spec sheet, but from behind a wheel..!

BMW's engineers have repeatedly said they worked hard in bring back the fell and dynamics of the older more "driveable" cars. Their resurecting the DNA from earlier models. You keep hanging your head on how it only marginally lighter and shorter.. etc. So.. The e46 was smaller shorter and BETTER than the e90..!

I suggest you goto BMW-TV and learn a few things before you keep spewing more ignorance.

I think all we have to go on are the specs for the 135. Has anyone driven one yet to make such comparisons? Of course BMW marketing is going to say it is the best thing their is. Right now it is just vaproware and the specs are all we have to go on.
