The Mazda 3 MPS or MazdaSpeed3 comes in at 3,093lbs. So in comparison the 135i is rather heavy. But the Mazda does not have leather and is a very minimalsit in terms of interior and options, i.e. no heated seats, no electric seats. So when you add in all the standard options the 135i isn't really to porky. The 135i is actually lighter than the standard VW R32 as seen in Australia.

5.1 hey... ECU re-map, slightly higher boost, less restrictive exhaust and intake and the BMW M-Diff you have a 4.5 second 0-62.

Anyone know if the 1-series coupe is going to come out with a diesel?
