They are pretty much identical stock for stock. 0-60 in 5 seconds, 0-100 in about 12, quarter in low 13's. After just a tune, a 135i will leave a full bolt on and tune 370z in the dust...

That said, I have a huge amount of respect for the n54 and how well the BMW packaged comfort and performance.

It won't...at all. It wouldn't even be close. Plus, I bought my 135 used with same miles/year as my Z was for thousands
less than I sold the Z for. The Z handles much better stock, and I'm interested to see how close lap times will be with my largely stock 135i suspension wise. I'm planning on doing a few hot laps with the stock tune first to see how it compares as the 0-100 & quarter times are identical on the stock 135 and 370. I'm probably going to end up putting sway bars and coilovers on it, but the first few sessions will be with the stock suspension.
