The M235i can't beat a M5, maybe the M5 was on confort mode but not on M2 or M1 mode, impossible ! Don't dream the M235i kill the 0-60 in 4.7s or 4.8s not 4.3s as i rode on a previous review...
The M135i Xdrive auto (4WD) kill the 0-60 on 4.5s the M235i can't be faster with the RWD only GreG |

Why don't the big cheeses running our fiscal stimulus program in Washington build a few roundabouts and highways to nowhere that these European countries have gotten?? It sure would ease my post-2008 economic pain having a few empty roads like that to drive on!

I wouldnt call it BS since the M5 weights what? 4000 lbs?
Dont get me wrong the M5 is a whole different league but 0-60 times might be close

BMW just can't help itself. It's best at making small powerful and very well handling coupes.
But then they found out they are VERY good at marketing (like Apple) and have that cool factor, and can charge premium. Step forward capitalism on steroids. They are churning out crap load of cars, all like U2 songs - all not amazing but good. And you got the X4s, and X6s and 650 Gran Coupes, and all that stuff. And the 3 series is now a 4, so they can charge more. And it's gotten bigger, so they made a hatch and damn it it is good but that's not supposed to be... aa... and they made the fking Active Tourer because BMW cash. And when all that crap is said and done... there is that guy up top who still has the balls, who remembers to... approve the goddamn little coupe that handles well. Cheers to that guy. Thanks to him we still got the 1M, we get the 235i, we go the brilliant V8 M3 and so on. Come to think of it... kinda like Porsche they are. Need to sell a lot of cars (SUVs) in order to do the true thing.

It's just a hoax. Or it's the driver. Or the tires on the M5 must have been bald. Even the track times between the M235i & the M5 here are part of this far-reaching conspiracy: http://fastestlaps.com/tracks/willow...of_willow.html |

I re-watched the video with the added English subtibles, and at 1:10, he mentions LSD but I'm not sure if he meant it was an available option or if his test car had it...
Man, this video is awesome. It's almost a masterpiece |

FYI - the same guy did review the Audi S3 here:
SPOILER alert! He didn't think it's fun...too much electronics shielding you from the driving experience. |

And yes, apparently there are languages other than English spoken by many people around the world. German for instance, springs to mind, as I hear ze Chermans make good cars... Last edited by MikeVictor; 06-10-2014 at 04:21 AM.. |

Why ? Because it's logic....
The 1M kill the 0-60 in 4.5s it's a manual gearbox, 20hp more and lighter than a M135i Xdrive... The M235i has 20hp less than the 1M, the weight are nearly the same and if you read the article the M235i is 0.2s faster, LOL ! GreG |
