If you have to think about it more than 3 seconds, get the BMW.

I always thought the 1-series looks like a 3-series that went thru a vacuum food-saver.

I chose the Z over the 135i. After seeing and hearing about the 1M couple, I am glad I did not wait on it. The 1M is very nice (to me at least) and tuned, yes both 135i and 1M will be much faster, but the Z just has that whip appeal and was more fun to drive (althought I have not driven the 1M, the Z can be tuned to be as faster if not faster for cheaper than a stock 1M).

Both are cool cars, but I would make the same decision again if I had to.

I'm not thin skinned or anything and I'm not really advocating on my behalf since I mostly post in social threads anyway. Jokes and ribbing are understandable and expected in a resurrected thread, but I don't really understand why people get so upset about new threads that rehash old topics. I mean who cares. If you don't want to discuss it then don't post.

Some of those topics are interesting precisely because there is always the tendency to devolve into a flame war. Frankly I love a good slam-bam toss out the insults flame war -- lol ... keeps the moderators on their toes. Besides, this is the internet and flames don't burn

Flame wars achieve nothing. Drama. Not something I enjoy. And I'll post where I like until mods tell me otherwise. That includes jokes. Sorry.

Zaggeron

No need to apologize shado. And I'm not telling you not to joke or post or anything like that.

I'm just trying to understand why people -- you for instance -- care about a thread whose topic you no longer wish to discuss ... Why would you-- or anyone else -- care that a thread is repeated, likely full of passionate opinions, about to erupt into personal attacks, and, as you say, about to become -- if not already -- full of "Drama"?

In my opinion repeat threads or resurrections, or rehashing of old subject are no more annoying than a lot of threads on totally original subjects -- It's the content of a thread that is important to me not the number of times that topic has been discussed. If I'm sick of reading about a topic, I simply don't look at the thread and I can't quite understand why anyone would feel any different ...

Do you rage at all the cookie cutter formula based novels at the bookstore or the library or just ignore them? Do you stand outside of bad sequels and pass out pamphlets explaining how this latest version is just a low budget rehash of the last one?

I'm not trying to single you out, actually I don't really think you in particular are mean spirited, but some folk are and vent the frustrations of their lousy lives on some poor unsuspecting new forum member who -- heaven forbid -- didn't spend 10 minutes trying to operate an admittedly lousy search function.

Frankly I think it is those sort of folks who are thin skinned in a certain way -- they can't imagine the internet operating in a way that clashes with their preconceptions and they take it personally.

Zag, I might ask you the same question though. Why so passionate about a few angsty posters?

If it bothers you to this extent, why not PM AK? He may take a while to get your msg, but he's very understanding.

I understand your point tho. It is a catch 22.

Boy have we derailed. Thx for the respectful back & forth.

Zaggeron

lol. Yea a bit of a digression from the thread topic. Actually though, it's not like I'm really bugged too much by angry posters, just trying to get an insight into why they think every repost means *insert terrible thing that means world will soon end*

Anyway to end on topic: Why choose. Get both. 135 for daily driver and Z for weekend use.

Cheers

From a tuning perspective, go with the 135i. Our z's top out at~325whp with full boltons and tune. That blows.
My mechanic's gf has a 135i with a tune and meth kit installed and making a little over 400whp.
If I want to beat her in a straight line then I'd have to go boost and that isn't cheap. I didn't get the z for straight line fun but More power doesn't hurt. After a few months, I started feeling like I needed more power
