The car felt much more solid then my 335 and the throttle response/control were excellent. I am sure once I can take the car to the higher RPM range it would impress me much more.
I drove the 135 right after the M3. This car has impressed me in every category as far is driving is concerned (still don't like the looks and the interior). It was just fast and very easy to control right out of the box. Generally it felt as if I knew exactly how to hold the car on the edge without feeling nervous about it. The rear end was easy to kick out to let the car slide around. My 335 and M3 definitely felt much heavier. Also 135 have really shown me how much understeer my 335 had. I need those tie bars ASAP.

I thought it was the other way around.
