135i appears to be the clear winner.
The King is dead (3-series), Long live the King (1-series).

On a better note, wait for the BMW 335 tii with enhanced Turbo Boost Pressure developing in the neighbourhood of 350 BHP ~

i believe Edmunds takes the average 0 to 60 time, where other source quote the fastest 0 to 60 time. personally, i see no value in the "fastest" if it means you can rarely achieve that accleration.

i believe an acceleration time should be quoted as the fastest achievable time at certain standard conditions.

No mention of no LSD for the 135 or 335. That is reason enough to stick with the E46 M3.

I am happy with my E36 M3.

They aren't dumping the clutch at 4000 RPM like Car and Driver. These are more real world #'s versus, I don't own this car and don't have to worry about clutch life #'s.
