I'm def surprised at 135i's performance. when edmunds.com did their comparison test with the 370Z, they said,

Yeah, 'more linear' and 'easier to modulate' probably doesn't necessarily equate to fastest/shortest stopping time/distance. When you're on the brakes all the way, linearity and modulation are probably the least of your worries.:icon17:

I had an s2000 and the 370z brakes better than the S by far even with its heavier chasis.

If you watch the video closely you will see that the S was only traveling at 108 km/h

where as

the 370 was traveling at 110 km/h.

Not a big difference but enough to make braking just a lil bit longer maybe by .7 meters?

yoiks- you see that 135i wander around-- must be the suspension.

the domestic cars win those japanese comparos <always>. kind of funny, really.
