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?
Thank you! I totally agree with you. Some purists get a bit ridiculous about their criticism of newer cars. If you like the old BMWs so much why don't you just go out and buy one? Maybe you can get one with an Atrac player built in...
