Came to a stoplight where the left lane goes onto the on-ramp and the right lane continues straight, but..... a mustang pulls up next to me obviously making enough noise trying to show me that he plans to cut me off in the 1/10 of a mile. Do stock mustang owners not keep up on 0-60 times? I had a full tank and passenger and the Mustang ust fell behind in 1 second out of the 3.7 it took me to hit 60 where I had to let off. I didn't even have to use full throttle.(test runs i averaged 3.91 in automatic "DS" mode which starts off in M2) Don't get me wrong I love the look of a Mustang GT and , but please do your homework when you are trying to dead-stop pass a BMW. If you want under 4 seconds it will cost you another $10K less than 4 seconds you will need to dish-out another $18-$22K otherwise you will just look like aa fool. Just Like would not try to play games with a Corvette. Granted this 2010 to 2011 Mustang GT was top of line, and probably did 0-60 in ~5 sec which normal.
On second thought, why do so many US cars try to look like they are "muscle cars" yet they weigh in at over twice the weight but only 30% more power? All it does it reduce performance, while reducing MPG. Mine gets 32 mpg when I drop it down to M6.
Oh, if you don't believe the sport 335i can do ~3.9 check it out on youtube:

Answer
"The BMW is the slower of the two, yet it still turns in a 0-60-mph time of 5.3 seconds (4.9 seconds with 1 foot of rollout like on a drag strip) and runs through the quarter-mile in 13.5 seconds at 103.8 mph. That's what 300 hp and 300 pound-feet of torque in a 3,607-pound sedan will do for you."

See here's my problem with your numbers.... a 135i is faster than a 335i... obviously because they have the same exact power plans however the 135i weighs 400 pounds less.
"Fortunately, there is no reduction in engine size or output. The 135i gets the same 300-hp twin-turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine as the 335i. We clocked a 0-to-60 time of 4.9 seconds for the heavier 335i; the 135i did it in a blistering 4.7, with a 13.3-second quarter-mile at 106 mph. "

Those are not forums.... or youtube.... that I got the numbers from. They are reputable car magazines.
The problem with your numbers is that if you go by youtube and believe that a 335i can do 0-60 in 3.9 seconds..... some of the videos even claim 3.7.... Then you have to subtract 2-3 tenths for the 135i's 0-60.
In other words... a 135i CANNOT do 0-60 in 3.5 or less... unless you are under the illusion that a BMW 135i has the same 0-60 as a Porsche Turbo.
They are fast... yes. But the 3.9 0-60 figure you gave compared to the Porsche is only .4 tenths slower.... and the Porsche is not only lighter but has nearly 200hp more than the BMW.
You don't see any problem with that?

Week 2 NFL 2011: Jordy Nelson (GB vs Car) or Santonio Holmes (NYJ vs Jac) ?
P
Nelson had a huge game last week, continuing his playoff form from the previous season. Holmes is listed as questionable, but all signs are pointing towards him starting. Holmes had a slow week 1 though.. Thoughts? I can't decide..
Answer
You want to know the team to beat? Look at the Vegas gambling odds for the Superbowl before the season starts. You wan't to know who's going to win every week, and by how many points? Look at the Vegas gambling odds for weekly match-ups and point spreads.
Every snap should be reviewed, and tackling should be a penalty. Maybe then people will stop watching this fake football, and the NFL will be brought down. The NFL is no different then watching your favorite sitcom, or WWF Wrestling. They have made it so the game is swayed to there outcome. They can keep the game within the point spread by fake penalties, questionable rule officiating, and the illusion that there is an entity officiating "upstairs." There should be at least three cameras on the so called people "upstairs." Once again, it is no longer a fair sport. I't is the same thing as watching your favorite movie series, such as X-Factor or Americas got talent, or Hulk Hogan Wrestling and that's all. I'f you think it is still a fair sport, that there is any outcome of every game, or any chance involved with the game; your believing what they wan't you to believe, and they will laugh with your money all the way to the bank.
They also care only about your money, and not you as an individual. So much in fact, every piece of clothing, sportsware, and memorabilia that is sold at there stadium, used by players, or available for order online is made in China. Even the American Flags on the Jersey's are made in China. Now, do you think that they care at all for the American workers that watch there program in America?
WAKE UP!!!! YOU WIN NOTHING BUT THE RIGHT TO PAY MORE MONEY IF YOUR SO CALLED "TEAM" WINS.
