And in my opinion (I'll be flamed for this) 135 or a 335 is way too much power for a 19 year old. Get a 128 or a 328, they still have 250 ish HP. Plenty quick.
This is great information thank you, unfortunately I am am quite stubborn and am set on a 135i or 335i and more or less wanting to know in the long run if the stock option is better and then get upgrades done myself so I know the car hasn't been thrashed by previous owners. Another option could also be looking at a stock F30 and getting that done up.

Also I would like to add that I would call myself a pretty capable driver for my age as since I was 17 I have been racing my fathers '79 911 on track once or twice a month and am used to higher HP cars.
