"More people room than another fellows R8 and imo much More practical, also not appreciably slower"
They really aren't comparable in terms of performance (at least stock), especially the bloated folding top version you are talking about.
Even the v8(r8 comes with a v8 or v10) has a 100+ hp advantage and does the quarter mile in the 12.5 seconds. That’s a second slower than the 135i which is much lighter and has the same engine as the car you're talking about.
I've driven the 4-door 335i and recently the 2-door 135i. Both are much more comparable, in terms of performance, to my stage 3 Aero and not an R8.
Leave it to DREF to compare the performance of a quick sedan to a genuine supercar. And thats just straight line performance... I'm guessing in terms of handling and braking the r8 would just own any 335i.
