jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted October 29, 2014 Just make sure it's an M135i. I drove one at Hampton and it was bags of fun but on the road I'd take the power and comfort of the M5 any day of the week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobD 41 Report post Posted October 29, 2014 Remember the 0-100 time of an M135 is the same as that of an E60 M5. Same for in gear acceleration between 80 and 120 kph. Unless you're on a track, the extra power of the M5 will never be used. The running costs however....they are there all the time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RobD 41 Report post Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) I'm not sure the M5 is a car for NZ roads. It has a reasonably low torque figure for its engine size and weight of the car (525Nm vs. 450Nm for the M135) and weighs about 300kg more. It also develops that peak torque higher in the RPM range. It isn't an easy car to drive to its potential, and isn't that well suited to our shite roads. Sure, we'd all love one and know it's the daddy. But it's better suited to the Autobahn or Autostrada where it can embarrass Ferraris. Not here, where a boosted Evo will eat it to 100 kph beyond which you're dicing with the law.

You can accelerate effortlessly out of roundabouts in 3rd gear from idle speed and in 6th at 100kph it accelerates like most cars do in 3rd. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love the 135I's myself though - have driven a friend's one a few times and they're a blast.

MISS BM 712 Report post Posted October 29, 2014 Honestly. They look like a fruits type of car. You're 6ft4 and it will look like the wrong combination of too big and too small. I was with you on test drive. Just don. Please. Save yourself and get either E46 M3 E92/90 335i Or even a 2 series. They not a flattering car tbh. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael. 2312 Report post Posted October 29, 2014 Hmmm what is a fruits car Amber? Yes, the height issue is one factor, there will be a slightly comical aspect to seeing you squeeze into a 1 series coupe Ryan! All the tune-ability talk, do such cars engines really need to be modified? - they are already quite powerful... especially for daily use - just buy awesome tyres for the road and some worthwhile suspension upgrades Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably more so than straight friends...) Is a car so small it can't be used for the obvious reasons a large car would be used (families, children, se...you get the idea) It only provides room for your gender identical counterpart and potential toy dog you may like to carry around in a man bag. *disclaimer: please take all above as a joke in a light hearted way - no offence intended for those who are attracted to the same sex* Edited October 29, 2014 by MISS BM 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So yes a 135i coupe that I can race around the track and daily drive is perfectly fine for me. If you check out the specs you lose about 3cm in width and 24cm in length, most of which is boot space... compared to the 335i Coupe. Check out the image below, my height has no difference between a 135i coupe and a 335i coupe. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo, I rest my case. The term fruits car would probably be better suited to a convertible 1/3 series, or maybe an MX5 Edited October 29, 2014 by WYT_M5 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
