(I've been an avid VAG customer for over 15 years; MKIV, Jetta, B5 S4, R32, A3) and these cars will not even hold a candle to the 135i in stcok form on the corners...not sure where you're getting this..anyhow, at high speeds, on after market suspension, the fwd car will feel more stable than a 1er. That's where it all ends. Take it for what it's worth. Cheers.

Yeah, I though the VW comment was "uninformed". If you browse any of the VW forums you see a great deal of respect for the 135i.
