To match a modded E92 M3 DCT that has 456HP/332lbft, a 135i manual needs about 440HP/430lbft...pretty difficult to achieve 440HP on stock turbos reliably from a 135i/335i

but there is more, you still can't match the total package of the m3. the more aggresive look, the high rev v8 sound, the better leather, thicker steering wheel, nicer rims, tires, feel, the exclusive m color, the cool carbon roof, dct, and the list goes on forever.
for 10-15k more, the m is a bargain IMO
I wouldn't think twice before purchse the M when I finally decide to give up my current one. I'm still in love with the look/feel of mine.
