Nothing wrong with the N54 (aside from the historic Fuel Pump reliability). I'd settle for a BMW sanctioned Perforamnce Upgrade for the 1M.

Remember this? - I think it's coming...

With humor I still must say that the only proof I have to back it up is based off of the evidence gathered from the engine in my 135i that carries the same N54 designation.
Just think with the money you will spend on suspension, tires, LSD, etc. you could have had a 1M.

To keep you happy, lets put this to rest and say the engine is EXACTLY the same so a tuned 1m and a tuned 135 will have the same power output. The 1M is better equipped to put the power to the ground which all that counts.
My view is that a tuned 1M and a tuned N54 135i will make the same power. The 1M is slightly lighter (right?) and has the lightened flywheel, so will have marginally better power to weight, better throttle response, and of course potentially better traction if the surface doesn't offer optimal grip. So it's very likely to be faster. A tiny tiny bit faster.

What it isn't going to do is handle better or be more fun. Which is why I'm moving from tuned 135i to 1M.

Out of curiousity MrRoboto, the burden of proof could lie in the other direction - what proof is there that the 1M engine isn't the same as the N54 135i? I'm not saying it is or isn't, but I haven't seen actual proof, only some words on my laptop screen.

My proof comment was tongue in cheek, as neither side has absolute proof weather the complete engine is or isn't exactly the same however every review I have seen mentioned a tweaked intake and exhaust.

And dont forget the drivetrain...the 1M has a higher final drive ratio.

You are actually correct - despite my 10 years of force-induction experience, including swapping/building engines as well components, I am new to the way the e82's get tuned. It appears that there is quite a bit of more technology involved (which as a computer engineer I am happy to see ). Your explanation combined with those of others as to how these piggy backs work make perfect sense. Thanks for sharing the knowledge

Will a tuned 135i with piggyback and full exhaust and IC mods be fast in a straight line? You bet your ass it will...esp. if they both hook up off the line properly...no way a retooled intake, exhaust, flywheel, and LSD beats my car with 60-70 more WHP and 70-80 more lb/ft of torque.

Now that would be a monster. I remember that thread. Some speculation on another board was that it had two "twin-Power N55 style turbos". But I don't think that they will fit, so that was ruled out.

Not going to list the exhaust here as that is OBVIOUSLY different(including the midpipe...just not from a visual standpoint...but it does have a different part #) This is just to prove what IS and ISN'T different for those that may want to know

It all looks the same. The 1-Series M is using the latest hardware the was found on the 12/09 and later N54 engine.

Sorry the flywheel is NOT the same...and neither is the exhaust.....piston rings look to be the same as well as the intake muffler and manifold...I didn't look at all the part numbers for the piping to and from the intake though that would be minor (or would it?)

135i flywheel - 21207590942
1 Series M flywheel - 21207590942

Not sure what part numbers you are looking at...

intake snorkle is the same as well. All same..Latest parts found on >2009 N54 engines

Even at 35k, with 1k in tires, ~3k for lsd, 2k in suspension you are ~5k from the 1m.

Last time I checked though, $5,000 was pretty substantial. And the suspension would likely be better than what comes on the M.

Sorry I stand corrected....I misread the 135i page...apparently the flywheel was changed on later model (Jan '09) N54's....

5k substantial to you you maybe. For the additional components you get with the 1M it is well worth it.

I have aftermarket suspension on my 135 and it certainly lacks on the track.

The 2009 and later FW is actually a pretty good part for an OE peice. There are better aftermarket parts, but for a OE part it isn't something that I can see the engineers saying...lets make that better...and not sacrifice longevity.

I think 5K is substantial from a modding standpoint. And trust me, that isn't substantial to my check book. My point is, what else could I do for the remaining $5K. FWIW I have the title to my 1'er, and I just bought it in September.

$2k in suspension and better than the 1M?? Sorry I have to raise the BS flag there....KW V1 suspension alone is ~$1200 and that is only height adjustable...if you go for something like AST or TC Kline you can up the price a good bit...and that is just for coilovers....then you have the swaybar, endlinks, wishbones, bushings, etc, etc...and that is another $2k at least just for parts....and then you have the wider track...so suspension-wise I don't think it could be "better"....close to the M i could accept...better I cannot...

So you are saying that the M suspension is the best you can get? Also, I'm not the one that threw the $2,000 suspension figure out. Which is why I noted, imagine what else could be done for the remaining $5K, which would make the total suspension estimate equal to $7K. Who knows, I might end up with a 1-series M one day.

No what I am saying is that $2k will not get you a suspension on par with the 1M (even without having driven the 1M) because the parts on the 1M, which are by and large taken from the M3, would cost over $2k on their own...PARTs ONLY.....and I dare say it would end up costing you over $5k.
This isn't justifying buying a 1M if you already have a tuned 135i (like myself...)...but saying that it would cost you a good amount of money to do and may not be worth it, for new buyers especially...
