I'm pretty flexible on the amenities but for me to trade my 135i it will have to have:

- MT
- LSD
- forged internals
- modability to at least 450whp with FBOs and meth
- a sub-3400lb curb weight

I'm pretty confident about the first two and I hope BMW sees fit not to cheap-out on the third. The car should be tunable to at least what the N54 is w/o resorting to a bigger turbo, but that depends on how hard BMW chooses to work whatever turbo they use and how much headroom it has left. Regardless, it will take some time after launch to see what they can get out of it, but I'm in no hurry. Finally, they really have to cut the lard.
