if you plan to mod, the EVO would probly be cheaper......either way both cars will be amazing!!!!but for me, the only bmw to pick over the evo is an m3.

The 135i sounds nice, like a supra in a lighter, newer BMW. It is a little disapointing that it only has 300hp stock from the twin turbo 3.0 I am sure it will be able to mod somewhat easily, but it won't be as cheap and effective as the evo.

Yep according to German BMW site, 135i - 1560kg, 335i RWD coupe - 1600kg, so 40kg difference (or 90lbs).
335i is lower and wider, although longer. Drag coefficient is 0.29 for 335i, 0.32 (I think, can't remember) for 135i.
If you can afford both, 335i should be superior in performance.

the X no question.
if BMW, then M3 for tuners or weekend warriors. When you start modding other models you will get nothing but trouble. And $ vs whp its not that great either. And we dont get into handling yet...
And don't think the 135 vs X will have a same performance. Where you get that? The performance is not just pulling on high way 3-4-5 gear.

it's a RWD, can you race it on snow? rain? no... RWD is handicapped when it comes to conditon like snow, rain. Evo dominants all road conditions. Can any BMW out run EVO on Tsukuba circuit? no... Interior rocks? IMO the X interior is very nice. You want luxury and performance, you are getting old man....

Of course we are not modding them yet but think about it by just knowing cars. Aluminum block = Turbo and boost limitations. Mitsu engineers have already put a power limitation on that trans and if you did blow it up LOL good luck fixing that.
What im saying is these cars will be equally challenging to mod with there advanced electronic configurations and such. Car vs car stock for stock the BMW warrenty and engineering far surpasses that of Mitsu.
They turned the X into a comfortable, refined, sports coupe. Not the raw rally/race car that makes a Evo an Evo. If I want that refinement Ill pay the little extra for the BMW and know that if somthing goes wrong I can make 1 phone call and have a rental and a toe with out a second ?.
