Also if you know the owner of the one series tell him to get the new JB3 2.0. With just that he cn choose which tune he wants to run and it will be an amazing difference.
People have went into the 11s with tune only on the heavier 3 series.

Why would you be surprised that the 300 horsepower turbocharged engine in a 1 series would win when the same engine combination is in a heavier 3 series "beats up" LS1's? Assuming your anecdotal information is correct and all.

A friend of mine has a 1 series that little thing is a blast to drive. His has been modded a little bit, tune and more boost. He keeps within a car length of my TA. He'd destroy a stock LS1 car.

Unladen - Automatic Transmission
3384 lbs
Auto 335s can be as light as 3550
Maybe <100 is a little optimistic (on average). But, the 135 has a single exhaust and the 335 has a true dual. Most 135s dyno about 10hp less than 335s.
Edit
The 135 tested by CD in the lightening lap weighed 3392.
The 335 from the previous annual Lightening lap test weighed 3366

Yea the headlights look kind of awkward also. I think the only one I would drive is the two door coupe. The hatchback just looks weird...
