Someone really needs to compare: M135i dct vs 1M vs M3 dct. I would really like to see THAT video on and off track.

M135i is such a good DD and track car that is quite hilarious to see only negative comments related to its front design.
First of all this car must be seen in person, driven hard and only after these actions some more realistic comments must be expressed! On the other hand I'm really curious how the x-drive version would react compared with the rwd one |

It seems like an odd comparison to put up the RWD 2-door version of the M135 up against the STi sedan on the track. For a track comparison, it would make more sense to use the xDrive 4-door version of the M135 (which should also weigh more) against the STi hatch (which weighs slightly less than the sedan).

Ah, I wasn't aware of that for the UK as we don't get any model of the M135 here in the US.
