I have a friend with 335i which has got a Procede Chip and Vishnu exhuast. It is putting out about 400bhp and a very twisty amount of torque. Version 2 of the chip should be out soon and it will be around 450bhp. I think he is planning on fitting a Quaife diff.
Right now it is ridiculasly fast. I think prob feels like the fastest thing i have been in, and I have a friend with a 997GT3. That will be all those torques then.
So imagine all this power in a lighter body and the added diff. I would consider one!

I gotta admit I'm quite interested in the 135i coupe (or the cab if it looks OK/not too girly)............ I've driven the engine in the E92 335i coupe and it gives a very fine account of itself in that car. So in the 135i, it should really fly. Hell, the 123d coupe ought to be a pretty rapid AND economical car too - the sort of car I'd consider if downsizing to one sensible car.

The 135 is ugly but the coupe version is quite nice looking http://www.edbmw.com/blog/2007/07/03/bmw-1...335-comparison/
An after market chip, exhaust and diff would complete the package and you would have a mini M3.
Mind you I have read about a few over heating problems in the 335 so packing the same engine into a smaller body and then bumping up the boost may be a bit risky.
