As far as a comparo test, it will be very predictable and cliche filled, like a 996 v. '87 Carrera comparo.

"135i will wipe the floor with the E30 in every performance category, and will do it with the a/c putting out 39 degree air and the radio at full blast. But the E30 is lighter feeling, more 'raw,' and 'tossable,' and more 'like a go-kart."

The 135i will definitely kill the E30 M3 for every day street driving. The 135i is going to be a torque monster. It will have more torque at 1200 rpm than the M3 makes at peak rpm. The M3 was pretty gutless down low.
