Sure, the core is an N54 engine, but anyone saying that his/her 135i N54 is identical, is in some major denial. Clearly the N54 going on the 1M was tweaked to better suit the task at hand, which is powering a car worthy of the letter ///M
Thank you! People are not understanding the larger picture. The 135 with Mods is a quick car but if people are only drag racing them then I think it's safe to assume they purchased the wrong car.
