Anyways, this discussion is stupid and pointless. Everybody knows factory turbo cars offer a lot more bang for your buck when it comes to small mods. Maybe you could go troll the guys on NASIOC, see how that works out for you.

I came very close to purchasing a 135i instead of my Z, because I did enjoy the car on the road. When I had an opportunity to drive it hard it was much less enjoyable though. They're great cars, and I don't think anyone here that has driven one would be quick to admit they're a fun car driven up to around 7/10 or so.
