Evo X vs 135i
"Maybe this was a mistake," come the murmurs from the test track. Part of the rationale behind this odd pairing was the BMW claim that the 135i sprints to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds, just a tick under what we've seen out of the manual Evo GSR. How do we explain our 135i consistently ripping off 4.7-second runs to 60, a full half-second faster than our Evo MR's fancy launch controlled sprint? We can't.

"Too bad that, when it came time for hot laps, all the BMW delivered just wasn't enough; in one lap around the 2.74-mile Reno-Fernley Raceway, the Evo put a blistering 3.42 seconds on the 135i ."

I thought the same until I drove them both. I couldn't believe how much more fun and sporty the 1 felt. Of course, if you're looking for more of a cruiser, then 335 all the way. Personally, I can't wait to see how the 135 Tii turns out

The 1 series coupe is quite common these days in Stuttgart (mostly 123d's) and they're incredibly good-looking in my opinion. Small and compact, yet also very macho in appearance. If that car were human it would be a very small, athletic and muscular man. I know chicks dig that sort of stuff.
Strangely, I find the new Mitsubishi Lancer attractive, but not in EVO form.

The Evo X is a disgrace to its lineage....Evo iX would smoke it readily with stock clutch and stock "launch control" that is incorporated in there.
