Second Car
I 've got the S/c'd C-6. Kinda like the BMW series 1 with the 300 ft tq at 1400 rpm. Gives a m-3 a run! They (mags) also said it's the best BMW has in the twisty's!*

He means he's got a LS3 with a supercharger, but he picked up a BMW 135i as a DD/secondary car.
I did the same thing. Got a modded LS2, hopefully soon to be supercharged, and just picked up an 09 platinum gray 535i fully loaded last night. Those turbo 6 cylinders from BMW are some sort of monster.
And yes, with the Vishnu or Dinan tune alone, you can boost power by around 50-60rwhp. Dyno charts typically show around 320rwhp on 91 octane tunes and over 350 rwtq!
That would definitely run with old E46 M3 and maybe even the new E92 M3, depending on driver.
Congrats, so far I'm loving the 5.

I have a super charged C6, but I am considering a second car. I really like the BMW 1 series, particularly the 135i with it's 300lb-ft of torque available at only 1400RPM. That power may actually allow it to keep up with an M3! Various magazines have indicated the the 135i is a lot of fun to drive on twisty roads. I will probably get a 6 speed manual.
To the OP, I agree that a 135i would make a great second car or daily driver.

Yes the BMW twin turbo engine is a powerhouse of an engine but try running the car hard and the engine heats up, you will find yourself in reduce power mode and will be limping home. The 135 is way overpriced IMO.

Isn't this a bitch! You try to make a quick post! About having
a Supercharged C-6! What I was really wondering was what you guys thought about the BMW series 1! For a second car. After reading the responses!
I really wished! I hadn't bothered because most of the posts are from some little bitches. Who are idiots anyway so their comments are
useless!
