If I was in the market for a mid $30k car and I could get a 135, my choice would be made.

The engine is. It's a valid question.

There are a couple companies making softwear upgrades that show some pretty big gains. Vishnu is leading the pack right now I believe. The problem with bigger power upgrades on the engine is packaging. The hot side of the turbos faces each other and they're very close.

Check 6speedonline.com. There's a guy on there that's modifying the factory turbos. I think once people start really tearing into these things, they're going to make a LOT of power.

How does BMW expect to continue to sell the 335 if the 135 is going to have everything it has, but with a cheaper price tag?

It's playing the size and luxury game, a lot of BMW customers won't want a small car, or don't want a cheap one. The luxury market is a strange place to be..
