I know it is much more cheaper to do this but it will never match the M class
Like the 335 remaped to 430hp which is more than M3 but still can not out run it.
All M cars is fully tuned with the Chassis not just engine.
so a 135 or 335 will never out run a m car

BTW, BMW has always been pretty conservative with their performance numbers so I'm betting independent tests will show 0-60 times in the 4.3-4.5 range.

My Ride: 2011.5 Alpine White E90 M3 | Black Novillo Leather | Carbon Fiber Leather Trim | ZCP | ZP2 | M-DCT | Navigation | Moonroof | 6FL Mods: TMS 12.5mm spacers all around l Hawk HPS Brake Pads l OEM M3 Edition Grills l Paint Matched Side Gills l Key Hole D
and previous N54 135i models do have the potential to pull off faster times, but owning any M model isn't just about the hp's IMO.....

I like it. Will be shopping around for an M in about ten months so this looks tempting.

Idk man, all this hype for just a 35 hp difference from a 135 and an M coupe. Idk, Im really fearing this car's success in the market. Hopefully I'm wrong, though I personally like the previous M coupe better (the Z4 model). I would just get a CPO 135 and mod the shit out of it..haha

My Ride: It's an E60 545I 6 speed.
Was hoping for an 07 M5 with a stick in a few months, but I just might order this instead...
1. Buy 1M
2. Turn up boost
3. Jizz in pants
4. ????????
5. Jizz in pants again

well, the 2011 135 will not be getting the N54, it will have the N55...and we all know it's not as tunable as the N54, or at least you know now
and previous N54 135i models do have the potential to pull off faster times, but owning any M model isn't just about the hp's IMO.....

The only thing I really love about this 1M over a standard N54-equipped 135 is the flared body. That is the ONLY thing IMHO. Everything else is definitely NOT worth the extra time they've spent "developing" this car.
