It got me thinking... if I had a BMW perf kit... I bet that 20 PS and extra oomph(TQ)... would mean a 135i would be about three car lengths in front of a M3 at speed. BMW doesn't quote a whole lotta of PS(HP) but they do show the acel times are much faster WITH thier perf kit. Esp when they quote in gear acceleration which is real world types of autobahn racing.
don't want to turn this into a flame fest, but this statement is 100% false.
