I have talked negative about the car. But the 135i is a cracking car. Ok it has it faults but you can change things to youre liking with aftermarket stuff. A friend of mine has a white e92 m3. I drove / drifted it a lot. That car feels more like e39 m5. If thats youre thing the e92 is the car for you. The 135i feels more like e36 m3. More agile more sporty more fun. I already knew the 1 series was the best fun car bmw has at the moment. I sold my e46 m3 smg for a 130i. How about that. Horsepower is not everything. It is the package which must be good. I don t need a 420hp v8. 300hp in a small car is enough just bring weight down. You can t go wrong with a 130i hatch 123d or 135i They need some aftermarket stuff to sort out some weaknesses besides that perfect cars for daily drives and the big plus you can have driving fun with it and they don t feel like cruise ships on the road. |
Andre, I agree with you. I enjoyed the E92 M3, but when I drove it back to back with my M3 CSL it felt like a very different car. I am still curious to see what the E92 CSL will be like, but I will be surprised if it retains the compact feel of the E46.
The 1-series Coupe really feels a better balanced and more dynamic model than the 3-series. I haven't driven the 135i yet, but that 123d felt like it had been designed by better engineers than had worked on the E92 M3. Go figure.
I look forward to hearing more of your experiences either on bm3w/mtorque or germancarzone...
