I have been looking all over for a 135i full test and can't find one. There seems to be a multitude of new M3 reviews, both Written & Video but only this rather dull Pormotional Video for the 135i, what gives

Its got to be faster, its only logical.

I know it will have better lap times: shorter wheelbase, Brembo brakes, lighter.
