EVO X.....BMW 135i

This to be followed by: Seach sucks, random teen angst comments, arm flailing, "waaa", "If you don't want to read it, don't click my thread", so on, so forth, etc., et. al. ad infinitum.
Yeah the DarkSide searchs so we don't look like a bunch of idiots posting the same exact stuff over and over...

It is confirmed that the 135i is getting the 300hp twin turbo engine from the 335i.

This car is going to scream!

open. ill pretty much guarantee itll be open unless the car gets an ///M badge.

however, like the 335i, and the Boxster/Cayman S, there will be aftermarket LSDs for around $1000.

Lots of my friends have BMWs, but they never drive them because they're always in the shop... 2 cent radiator gasket and $2000 install (engine block removal... yay!)


BMWs are beautiful machines to drive. When they run.

not really. the 335i handles almost as well as the E46 M3 without a Limited slip. they have an electronic control that brakes the outside wheel so no wheelspin, but wasted power. if its really gonna bother you, $1000 or so isnt really that steep to gain handling on an already very well handling car. for the Cayman S, adding the LSD, supposedly brings it up past the plain Carrera standards, which is $12000 more.
