Nice 0 to 62mph times for the 135! Is it for sale in Canada yet? is that the 135 coupe or the ugly 5 door hatch back?

BMW tends to be very conservative with their 0-60mph times, while Mercedes tends to overhype a bit
A little suprised with the 3.35 and 5.50 times cuz I know people with those 2 cars in stick shift and pretty much dead even on straight line and have gone close to the 5 second mark

The times are for autos not MT, Its all relative this way for comparisons, I think lots of members would debate the manual vs Step/auto as to who/what is faster

BMW is not the only company that is very conservative with performance numbers, Porsche, Audi, and MB all do it.

MB overhype? All their AMG models have tested 0-60 times below mft. numbers.
