That's right. I thought the camera car backed off a couple of times through corners when the driver of the M135i kept the throttle nailed, but when both cars accelerated out of corners, it was clear that the M135i was losing nothing to the M3.

And Darkhold, your point being in the right rev range for maximum torque in the M3 is probably spot on, but again that demonstrates how tractable the M135i is. It also makes the debate about whether this is a proper M-car one for the anal-retentives. Who gives a flying **** what it's called when it goes like this?
