The outlined oil cooler fitting is the standard item, the PPK cooler is on the driver side.
If you look inside the left wheel arch you will see a slatted plastic plate with the cooler behind. Also you will notice it dosent have the Tyco electronics box . |

I did read some earlier threads with posts from around 2010, and which dealt with models other than just the 135i, also the 335i for example. These threads were obviously discussing cars with an N54 engine, not the N55 in my 2013 135i. In those threads I read reference to not needing some of the parts in the version 2 kit if the car was not going to be tracked and would be limited to street use. Later posts in those threads in which some cars had N55 engines seemed to indicate that the designation of the engine as being the "M-Sport" type meant that the car could have the PPK installed without needing the "option code 440," which, perhaps, was specific to N54 cars. I just don't know. Another thing I know is that the version 1 PPK (part number above) is still widely available, and the version 2 PPK kit appears to be completely unavailable. I am guessing that this may be because there were presumably no N54 engine cars made after 2010, other than the 1M which obviously does not need the PPK V. 2. That would mean we are 6-7 years out on those models and presumably the demand for such a kit is virtually non-existent, and anyone wanting to tune an earlier, N54 engine car would just likely choose a 3rd party tune anyway. If you can clarify any of this, please do. Last edited by champignon; 09-03-2016 at 10:12 AM.. |

PPK1 can be installed on the stock car but PPK2 (bigger radiator and extra oil cooler)will give you extra cooling for track days and hard prelonged use.

Would any of this use pattern suggest the need or benefit of the added hardware? I am guessing the answer is "no." |

Thanks very much, you guys, I think I will have it installed in the late fall, hopefully on the same visit where I get my airbag replaced.

ppk 1 installed here too. Just drove from Las Vegas to Palm Springs in 100+ temps. 80 mph for 4 hours up & down hills. Car was at 240-245 part of the time but no overheating. Doesn't overheat in Vegas summers either. If I decided to start tracking it if get the bigger fan. The tiny added water cooler.... Meh.

Currently have the Dinan Stage 2 tune (as of last April) instead of my previous PPK1. No overheating issues at all. Oil temp is the same as when I first got the car.
Luckily, still have the sweet sounds that PPK is known for.

Welcome! I just saw that car sitting on the lot at Mtn View a couple weeks ago. They had it priced at 32,900. Mind sharing what you ended up paying? Trying to figure out where the market is at around here, I've got my lease end coming up. Congrats on a very rare color!

I ended up getting it for $30k even out the door and they gave me 8k on trade for my '06 IS350 that had the fubar airbags and water pump and a jillion miles. I felt that considering the mileage and that it only had one owner and is in excellent condition in a great color combo that it was a pretty fair deal I could have got a decent amount more for the IS350 had I sold it myself, but it still had a Texas title and I didn't really want to sell the car to someone knowing that the airbags were potentially F'd. The car spent all except the last 3 years of its life in Texas, which is even worse for the airbags than here. We tried to get them replaced at lexus as part of the recall but they don't have any airbags for it in stock and they don't know when or if they will be in stock and they can't promise any kind of date on replacing them. We also got a really nice letter from them saying to avoid carrying passengers in the front seat until the airbag is swapped out. Uhhhhh yeah, that's not gonna work... I looked around quite a bit, there are very few 135is available for sale at the moment, and the next closest one was down in LA. Also, while the DCT is nice my wife absolutely refuses to get a BMW that's not stick. I don't blame her, it's awesome!

If you're not driving a BMW with a stick, you're just steering it

Wheel hub rust
Hi all,
I've been noticing that there is rust buildup around the hub of my wheels (more so on the rear wheels). When I took my car in to a local detailer, he suggested having the hubs painted (which they can do for $150). I looked around the forum, and it sounds like hub rust is fairly common -- but I wasn't sure if painting over the hub is a good idea. Does anyone have any experience with this? thanks! |

According to one of the threads here, I now have #418. Not sure if a forum member was a previous owner.
