Something about the side reminds me of a Hyundai Elantra...maybe it's that line from the rear window to the boot...anyway, I'd still LOVE one of these. 135i Coupe *drool*

You can have any model with the AMG kit, its an extra cost option. It obviously does not include the 6.2l V8 :D

any car can be deadly.
thats not what he meant, he meant its going to be fast.
An uno can wipe out 100s of pedestrians. Large solid object + momentum = sad pedestrian

Lol I know that... Its just that theres no other car in this class with so much power. its a small car so its in the league of GTis. S3s. ST type of buyers. Its also BM "1st" turbo car so I see it to be really deadly on the roads... and rear wheel drive.

but it has csl brakes - so pedestrians can sleep safe at night :D
also it isnt the first turbo bm...
I think the first turbo bmw was called a 2002...

That it was...

1.5l Turbo charged motor...

spiritual predecessor to the M3.. and also iirc the block that was used in BMW's first foray into F1 many many years ago...

Thats why 1st was in inverted commas...
This is a different league of turbos, 3.5l biturbo... its scary to think what its capable of...

Imagine Revoing one of these!:eek:
To be honest, I dont think ill race any of them at a robot. I dont think the drivers will be able to control them, from take off or even snap changing it will be easy to lose the car...

Just my opinion generalizing on drivers aswell.

3.0 bi-turbo. And Revo software is not available for BMW.

335's do a 13.4 quarter mile.
135's can come manual or semi-automatic..
so 335 - 200lbs = quick car.
putting the power to the ground shouldnt be too hard, they come standard with 18s which will help with spin a lot. Factor in the turbo lag and i don't see why a normal driver wouldnt be able to control it.
I drive an e46 m3, more hp and I can launch perfectly (used to drag at wesbank)

I can't wait for mine :(

335 + vashji chip = quarter mile of 12.4 ( 3000 USD )
porche turbo = quarter mile of 12.9

bye bye 996

Mmmm do you know dangerous turbo lag can be? You in first acellerate hard, drop the clutch and you standing there for a slight second and then all of a sudden turbo wakes up/
