I've driven several 135i's and they are pretty damn quick. Nice interior, too. The steering wheel even has the "M" badge on it. But, I imagine a fully loaded one with all the bells and whistles will be creeping in the 40's. Ouch!

Techart has a program to fix the underpowered Cayman

CEC - Claus Ettensberger

Of course to be fair, the Techart Cayman should go against the AC Shnitzer 135i.

AC Schnitzer ACS1 3.5i ?

i love it when tiff and jason go head to head. always entertaining. the rest of the show i don't enjoy any where near as much as top gear.

I thought the 135 and 335 weren't coming with a lsd?
They said that it had one during the drift competition.

Anybody know what it has? I thought BMW went with some new system that is supposed to be similar.

***snorky*** · 02-20-2008, 08:56 AM

You are correct. BMWs standard cars haven't come with LSDs for 15 years. You have always had to buy an M car to get it.

~Porsche Cayman S~ (280hp)- as far as power and handling...not price.. Might have been more fair in the test.

I think the Cayman S is 295 bhp.

Also, the 135i does NOT have a LSD. It has a computerized thing that acts like a LSD ... and from what I've heard it does a really good job as far as street duty goes.

Yeah, I thought it had that active braking pretending to be lsd?

"I think the Cayman S is 295 bhp."

Wow! they have gone up 15hp- good move.....with the 280hp it had a 0-60 5.1......13.6/QT~ MT.....what are they about 68 thou now?
