Everyone going on only about 0-60 or 0-100 times is missing the point that this is a pig-heavy car. I'm selling my 135i for a ClioSport that weighs 1,230 kg's. Yeah it won't be as fast or have the same torque but is more agile stock than anything weighing in over 1,500 kg's (1,550kg's for N54). Coming from the MK5 GTI this was the first thing I noticed about the car. Excellent handling due to RWD for sure, but it felt like it was ploughing along, rather than dancing. Shame BMW didn't get this car down in weight or I'd pick one up in a few years after depreciation has done its worst.
