135i Petrolhead video review

darknightohio · 03-11-2008, 06:14 PM

Video is not in English, but the video is worth watching. He does some nice burnouts and donuts, also has some great visuals.

Enjoy.

nice.. showed the E-diff working, sadly.. you can see it shut down the outside wheel at the very end of the last donut (end of vid) and tear the inside wheel apart..

Gadzooks! What language is that? Dutch? Finnish? Talk about drooling over the 135i... that car must be covered in saliva.

Only kidding... thanks for posting!

That's exactly what I noticed too, but it did allow for three donuts though before saying "something's wrong here". Also, the driver appears to let up slightly on the gas, which might defeat it too... I'll tell ya, no stock 335i (or my current 330i) can come close to doing what that car did, with it's open diff.

Cool video nonetheless.

That guy looks like he could flip it over with his pinky if he wanted to. He looked huge next to it!

you're right about the 335i... It would just hate on those tires if he tried it in that car..

So, It's better.. perhaps much better??? :iono:
I guess we'll all find out real soon.. :drinking:

He looks like Booger from Revenge of the Nerds.

Thud · 03-12-2008, 04:56 PM

Is that guy 7 feet tall or is the car smaller than I think it is?

spudw · 03-12-2008, 10:48 PM

Yep, he's one tall glass of water... Any of you tall guys worried about fitting into the 1er can rest easy.

Dude is 6'7" at least.

Flatron · 03-13-2008, 06:36 AM

It's Dutch.. he's says the car drives good, but the looks sucks.. A bad design, a worst coupe.. And better, buy a 335i coupe for 6 grand (euro's) more. Dutch headdesigner Adriaan van Hooydonk did a bad Job.

He's wrong by the way....

Dutch tut dem Kopf weh. When's Top Gear getting ahold of this?

Some Nederlander gork gone Jeremy Clarkson. Thus, my opinion.

This is an unlikely explanation because the E-diff will be braking the inside wheel, not the outside. More likely the tire simply regained traction due to a reduction in throttle.
