Just letting you guys know that if you run across a new BMW 135i, BEWARE!. These are true sleepers. The cars arent but about the same size as our cars are and VERY powerful for their size. I was coming to work this morning and saw one (first i have ever seen) that was messing with everyone at every light. Finally i was behind him at one of the lights. I thought, "maybe an easy kill". man was i wrong. Keep in mind you guys, my SVT isnt stock, and will pop out 5.3 sec. 0-60. He nailed it and got a slight jump on me and continued to pull away ever so slightly. By the top of second gear (70 for an SVT) he had pulled about two cars on me. Thats really doing something IMO. Im sure i could take him in corners and whatever else. But from light to light, forget it. I was so impressed that the first thing i did when i got to work was check out BMW's site. Well, i "should" have been beat, they are so small and have an in line 6 turbo making 300 hp! Well theres no wonder then. But i have enver seen one of these and can imagine if you did even a slight amount of work to one of these what they would be capable of. Theres not many around here that could do that to me being "stock". I was impressed. These are really sleepers in the total since.
