Battle of the Bimmers: BMW M3 v BMW 135i v BMW 335i

Video Title :	Battle of the Bimmers: BMW M3 v BMW 135i v BMW 335i
Description :	http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/Comparos/articleId=125265 Before you start sending us flaming e-mails complaining that a comparison between the 2008 Audi S5 and the 2008 BMW M3 Coupe is an obvious mismatch from the get-go, you should know a few things. Our first full test of the $53,000, all-wheel-drive 2008 Audi S5 was a bit of a revelation. With a 354-horsepower version of Audi's direct-injection 4.2-liter V8 under its hood, the voluptuous Audi S5 ran a 13.3-second quarter-mile at 104 mph, just 0.1 second and 2 mph shy of the 420-hp 2007 Audi RS4 sedan. What's more, the S5's slalom speed is within a couple mph of the harsh-riding RS-spec sedan. "It ran a 13.3? With that kind of speed, who needs a $67,000 RS4?" we asked ourselves. We believe so strongly in the 2008 Audi S5 that it earned our Inside Line's inaugural Editors' Choice Award. So we acquired (hastily perhaps) another 2008 Audi S5 and set it against the new 2008 BMW M3 Coupe, a car now fortified with V8 power for the first time. Speed-reading the specifications sheets of these two cars, they seem like natural rivals: the 354-hp, all-wheel-drive 2008 Audi S5 measured against the 414-hp, rear-wheel-drive 2008 BMW M3. But as it turns out, we gave the 2008 Audi S5 a bigger challenge than we had initially intended.

I love and prefer my M3 but really, the 135i is not a bad looking car. For the money, I'm sure it's a good deal. What they didn't compare in this video is top end. That's where the M3 wins every time!!

Kewlios

Do be honest.. I dont like these new BMW's they look like whales... I'll go for E30 M3, E46 M3 and maybe this new 1series.. But i think the car would be too small for me.. Soo ill just stick with e46M3!!! They are the truly nice cars!!! No questions Askt!!! If i had to chose between new M3 to e46 M3.. Ill go for e46 any DAY!!!! and thats ANY DAY!!!!!!!!!

"and even Volvo" ahahahha

120d is better

driver sux

I was deciding which of these to buy for a while. I went with the M3(2006). Im still really happy with my choice. They're all great cars. better than most anything out there

the driver kinda sucked though so the 0-60 times are faster than what they say

Now I own a E36 ///M3 and test drove the new 335i Coupe. I don't care what people think but the M3 is a blast to have, although the 335i isn't bad. I just prefer my M3.

135 reminds me of the original e30 m3...With BBS wheels, coilover, exhaust this car will be hard to beat!
