Another craptastic option. Leave the paddle shifting to Formula One and Shifter Carts. I have never driven a tiptronic,shiftronic,unotronic,moronic or ginandtonic car where I couldn't power shift it faster than pulling up on these unsynchronized craptastic POSes. Oh yeah. If you think the clutch pedal had a funky feel on that Boxster just try to powershift it during a quick sprint with the motor on the redline. You'd swear that there was a solid rod hanging up just like an old GTO with a broken motor mount.

Anyway, back on the original 135i subject - I just raced one at the track with my 540 last Wednesday... read below! Took the 540 to the track tonight... - bimmerfest - BMW Forums If you're too lazy - I'll sum it up... I ran a best of 14.3 (not bad in a 4-door sedan!), the 135 ran a 13.88, but the driver was too aggressive at the lights and was wasting time with wheel-spin. I think it could run a much better time. I should add - these cars aren't about straight line performance, as I'm sure most are aware. Live with a Bimmer for a while - you'll "get it", trust me.  If you can get past the "co$t" of it all, that is (don't blame ya if you can't...)
