Featured on BIMMERPOST.com The M135i had auto transmission. On another "note", check out this video of a Bastuck exhaust on a 3 door M135i:

Obviously a DCT or manual tends to be a bit more abrupt with the torque delivery to the wheels and will be more likely to break traction. Cheers Lee |

Not a terribly surprising result given the length of the race and the car configurations. For those of us living in A'murica (FUCK YEAH!), this race was 492 feet. For perspective, 1/8th mile is 660 feet and a quarter mile is 1320. It's hard to beat a good auto tranny in a street race. During early acceleration, you lose a lot of ground to slow manual shifts. 20 HP isn't going to make up the difference until you're well under way.

I never ever will understand what the fascination of being quicker by a second or two has when we driving the car of our dreams ... who really cares I ask ?

Bit embarrassing for 1 M owners, but I suspect the result might be different over a full quarter.

Drag racing these cars is a full cup of ROFLCOFFEE anyway. So silly. I'd love to drive either.
