^^^ LOL Lookfast. Hey the truth is the truth right?

I honestly think that the smart person will buy a well equiped (just the necessary equip) 125i and mod the hell out of it. The 125i is lighter by quite a decent margin and really it's the new "reborn" E36 M3. Take a look see (not posted from factual figure but from my memory off hand)

E36 M3

3100 ~ 3200 lbs.
240 hp
L6 3.2
2 dr coupe

125i
3200 lbs. est.
230 hp
L6 3.0
2 dr coupe

You guys get the point here. The 125i w/ the optional sports pkg,which includes the suspension/wheels/6 piston brakes front. This could be the E36 M3 reborn. If you recall, the E36 M3 was probably considered the "best" all around sports car in almost any class at the time it was in production. Beat out Vettes, Porsche 911's, etc., etc.

That's where IMHO the smart money should go. Or if you got money to burn wait for the Tii (135i with more sport).
