[quote=lib;4824803]Yep. You have to actually use the right gears in a 128i and you're able to stay on the power a little longer. It can be a lot of fun.[quote]
+1. Even though they both redline at 7,000, the 128i peaks at 6,500 and the 135i at 5,800.

So since the 128i is approximately 1 second slower from 0~60, and since we all normally accelerate to 60 with full throttle at least 10 times per day, 6 days per week (!), then the 135i drivers are all saving a bit less than an hour per year.

What are you guys doing with all that extra time?
