yep.

cant beat factory twin turbos. spend $2k to tune it and pick up gobs of horsepower. with the rx8 you can spend $2k on performance mods and pick up 20whp, at best.

A new key card will cost over 400 bucks after programing and cutting a new key.

I just came out of a 335i, and went into my R3. Believe me you made the right choice!

^^ LOL
Why do our transmissions suck?
Can it not cope with the whopping 155lb-ft torque we have? Sheesh.

No problem with my 09 transmission (with 3-4 track days on it). In fact, it reminds me a lot of my old S2000's shift feel.

The problem with the 135 is lots, and lots of understeer. It's almost like BMW detuned the car so it doesn't impact 335/M3 sales. Too bad, it could have been a really fun car to drive.

well your lucky. i know quite a few people with trans problems. i know one 09 owner who had grinding about 1000 miles after he bought it.

understeer is pretty easy and relatively cheap to fix with a set of aftermarket sway bars.
