It's not the car that matters... It's the driver! But, the M135i is very impressive!

Very entertaining. I wonder how my 135i would do.

I don't even think that there was any real competition in this so no need to take it too seriously, they were probably buddies filming each other.

What does the new M5 or M6 have already? No hydraulic as far as I remember. I believe that last M car who had a hydraulic unit was the 1M in 2011. If even Porsche doesn't offer it anymore, we better forget about it with BMW.

judging from the sound of the m3 at corner exits, he's always in a higher gear than it suppose to be, probably trying to have fun and not put too much stress on the car, compared to 135, turbo cars accelerates at full torque even in low rpm
I can see two cars having fun there. that m3 is still the faster car if the driver wanted to drive seriously, but still that 135m is quick |

And yes, all F2x thus far have electric steering as well, including the M135i. http://realoem.com/bmw/partgrp.do?mo...70&hg=32&fg=12 |

As other have stated, that M3 was not being pushed . The driver was short shifting most of the time.
The M135 is an impressive car nonetheless . |

Neither car was really being pushed, esp in the second video. And the really impressive part is that here in Australia, (with some sensible negotiations) you can purchase two M-lites for the price of one M3. Of course, those who know the glass is half empty will point out how much we are ripped off when purchasing an imported car

M3 driver was not good. You can hear he is in too high a gear on corner exits. Throttle blip and down shift before a turn that really slows the car down is needed and will have the M3 pulling hard out of corners. The car has a great chassis and suspension but if you don't push the car (like that guy) you will not see the car shine.
