ideally thats what i want! both!

i definitely dig the 135i. very early torque and good power.
no LSD? (correct me if i'm wrong) but then thats why you have an Evo.

just got off the phone with the insurance comapny dreading to find out how much it will cost to insure sice I pay 150 a month to insure the evo which just went down from 250 a month.... to find out that its 76 dollars a month to insure the 135i. WHOOAAAAAA!!!! Its just really weird.... i never thought that I would own two bad *** cars at the age of 25.... if someone would have told me 5 years ago when i bought the evo i'd be where im at today i would not have believe it.... sorry for the rant just pretty f'n excited!!!! Now I just need someone to race me in my evo to see how much faster the evo is!!!! haha

That 135 is a seriously under rated car.... dont quote me, but i think a 335 will beat a stock evo, so imagine what a 135 will do. same great engine, less weight. the inline 6 that bmw produce is voted by some as the worlds best engine, and with a cople turbos on aswell...... awesome. I think there diffferent sized turbos to help eliminate turbo lag.

concrats on the new car aswell

Actually its an inline 6.

Congrats on your purchase, the 135i is a SICK car is should prove to be a much faster platform than even the Evo X. The engine and chassis are both very well designed. I am so envious!
