    M135i Add

    In a recent add on PH, NJ refers to an M135i as:
    "With breathtaking performance that puts a CSL M3 to shame in a straight line this is by far the best hatch back ever made."

    The 135 was probably taken in part exchange against a CSL? Obviously saw the error of their ways! :hahaha:
    There's a moral to this story - don't bite the hand that feeds you!

    It might feel quicker in a straight line but in reality there's not much in it.

    Anyway, NJ and his ad text content = :smt009

      Around town due to the M135i's superior torque to weight ratio (332lb ft and 1440kg compared to 273lb ft and 1385kg), I don't think the CSL would see which way the M135i went. However, the CSL ISN'T about the daily schlep - it's far more special than that.

      Sport Auto achieved an 8:18 around the 'ring with the M135i - at almost half a minute slower than the time they figured for the CSL, I won't be selling up just yet .

        Had an M135i the other day & whilst it was quick, it left me feeling a bit cold.

              This would only happen with 4th gear and 1200 rpm.
              No chance the m135 is anywhere faster than a csl.
              I have a z4 35is which is faster than the m135i but is not faster than the csl.

                Come on Mike, who races around town at our age. :wink:

                Trust me, I have both. In a straight line it's close but shown a proper Welsh A or B road and the M135i won't hang onto the CSL for long. However, real World 40-80mph overtaking ability is stonking in the M135i and effortless.

                  What the big guy said:smokin:
                  Plus above 100mph the csl would pull a gap,but spend a little dosh like cups pads and camber plates it would be very close on track against a standard csl.
