Couple of comments:
1.) I can't stand these guys. Watch their other videos and you'll see what I mean. They can't drive, make constant inaccurate statements, and are incredibly annoying.
2.) As a resident of Colorado, this isn't particularly surprising, nor impressive. The IS-F is very heavy and naturally aspirated and thus makes far less power at altitude than it makes at sea level. The M235i is of course turbocharged and lighter. As a result, it loses very little power compared to the IS-F at altitude. This is why if you spend any time at all living in high altitude areas and you're a car enthusiast, you're usually biased towards forced induction cars. That's why bone stock 335i's can keep up with "faster" NA cars up here in CO. Hell, I had a MkV GTI with nothing but an APR stage 1 tune that would run with much faster NA cars stoplight to stoplight simply because my car was light, torquey, and didn't lose much power at altitude.
