^^^ I think that you would love the 135i because of the twin turbo power potential, six piston brakes, and a nice tight chasis. That kinda sounds like i described a hot girl.

Wow I didn't know about the brakes, nice. I watched some videos with the JB3 and the thing hauls ***. This might not pertain to you but I found this interesting. It says if you have a production date of March 2008 or later, BMW updated their ECU's to recognize a piggyback system and throw a red flag. So if a tech hooks up a scanner or anything it will say that it been piggybacked once before. They go on to say that the JB3 will not trigger this and you have nothing to worry about. Just found it funny that a manufacturer would implement something like this although im not surprised one bit.

The interior is black in color with aluminum trim. The car feels completely different from the EVO so far. Both of them have there +'s but one thing that i do like about the M over the EVO is the top end on the highway.

From my understanding the newer version of the ECU has the ability to record anything out of the norm for the ECU but I think they have found a way around it. Glad I dont have to worry about it because i have an early build date.
