Well, looking at tuning options now available on the BMW 135i I have to say I am shocked. They are adding about 100hp & 100ft/lbs to the crank just by tagging on a piggy back system.

Those are impressive numbers, but I never seem to believe those dash timers. Its too bad the cars are so freakin ugly. I would buy one if they looked like the original 2002s.

 

i dunno, but i think the 1 series look pretty good. i'd still take the 3 series look over the 1 series, but come on...there is no way in hell they would have made a car in the year 2008 that looked like the original 2002 lol.
