If the 135i had a proper differential, it would have been so much better. Even when turning all DSC / traction control off, it still felt like there was some fuckery happening with the stability control / e-diff.
Coming from an S2000 / GMC Typhoon that I got rid of before I got the 135i, I wanted to get another small car... the 135i is the type of car that totally shines on a test drive but when you actually drive it hard, it always felt like the computer was working against you. Even with everything disabled, the gas pedal didn't feel like it gave you the engine's full power because it would overwhelm the e-diff, and when it did let you have full power, then you'd get a 1-tire fire... Oh well it was still nice to drive chicks around in!
My old Supra in the shot too:
