The 135i has very long gears thus its 4th gear is as long as the 130i's 5th... the 135i does 120km/h + in 2nd, and around 175km/h+ in 3rd and 230km/h+ in 4th.... so its not really fair racing like that... the 135i is a shitload faster than a 130i, and its geared long as it had a thick flat torque curve that works better with longer gears... as soon as you boost the car with a chip, those longer gears make even more sense... mine runs a low 12 second 1/4mile on stock tyres.
well i live in germany and the 335i def didnt replace the 330i...i mean they have the same engine...the only difference is that the 335 got 2 turbos...well i gave my 330 back to bmw on july 4th and by the end of september ill have the 335i for 10 months...im already excited about finding out about the twin turbo magic ;)
er...?? twin turbo couldnt pull away a straight 6? dont be silly! i have a 1.8 single turbo & kill 130's & 330's all day, this thing will be a weapon, especially with a simple remap you will be seeing scary figures
Repelsteeltje12345, if you read the "About this Video" in the upper right part of the screen, you will see a full description of the way the test was performed. Engine wise the 130i was also an "out of the box" showroom model. Gears wise also. The 135i is absolutely the more powerfull car. But in certain circumstances, as shown in the video, when the 130i is in a better revrange due to it's shorter gearing, the difference can be very small.
1) In the BMW 135i were two persons seated, in the BMW 130i one (I know the people who did the test).
2) The BMW 130i was in the slipstream of the 135i, when they started the accaleration
3) The 135i was a 'out of the box' showroom model.
So, for knowing this, look again at this clip and then, its obvious, the 135i is the faster car. In stead, I was amazed that the 130i could not catch up
if you'd started from parallel positions, I can guarantee the difference would have been greater. The air friction does make a difference.

i got a '08 330i coupe and it goes like hell...dont need that twin turbo...just amazing to kill the rpm up to 7xxx...never want any other car again..

R U sure, i thought that all coupes after model year 07 were no longer 330i (08 for sedans,) and became 335i with twin turbo

The engine has great potential indeed, but there is the weight problem...

He wasn't trying to pull away. They were making a driving video. The 135i would destroy tha NA I6.

Nice test! I'm in Brazil and have a 130i. The 135i didn't arrive here yet.
Don't seems to be that much diference in performance...
Can you give us more videos?? Thank's!!

Gaaap, wat is dat nou weer voor onzinnige opmerking? Het gaat hier over het vergelijk van een 130i en een 135i.

not a good test:
1) In the BMW 135i were two persons seated, in the BMW 130i one (I know the people who did the test).
2) The BMW 130i was in the slipstream of the 135i, when they started the accaleration
