LOL your comment cracked me up, man. To quote some auto journalists, "Some cars can give you excitement without going too fast that you get into trouble."I'm pretty sure this 95hp 1.3 Bezza is quite good enough if you drive the manual variant...
My old EFI 4G15 Wira MT produces less output and is heavier than the Bezza but is still fine to me. Funny thing is, a friend of mine went for a ride in my car and it somehow frightened him a bit when I go full throttle. He told me it feels like it is fast despite I'm not really going fast. He is driving a F30 320i himself. Perhaps he is not used to the response you get from MT cars.
Perhaps his F30 accelerates and shifts a lot smoother, therefore he got scared being in your car, even though his F30 accelerates at a quicker rate. Plus sitting in passenger seat is of course more terrifying than driving the car ourselves.
