The weight of the 130i is a lot lower. Thats why it s more nimble. But bmw has made a very good compromise in the 135i. The car doesnt feel to heavy.

Advevo, in the dutch magazine nr 2 "Auto review" there is a comparison test between the 135i and the Audi TT 3.2 Quattro.

They weighted the car and claim 1.612 kg (factory weight 1.560 kg). This would be exactly the same weight as for an Alpina B3 :iono:

Maybe you could get to know the weight of your car ?

Tonight i have mounted the eibach springs and dailed some extra camber in.

The car steers brillant now. Maybe some thicker stabi s sometime. But it feels good now.

Saturday i hope shorter final gear and LSD will be mounted. Then it will be a rocket.

The rear rims 8.5j will not fit on the front. They hit the shocks. Maybe when mounting track wideners of 10mm a wheel. But then you have to dail in lots of camber to get in wheel in the arch.

I'm sorry if I might be a little slow, but I don't know what the "j" in 8.5 j is?

TazioNYC, I think Advevo means 8.5 inches wide rims.

Advevo, have you installed camber plates on your car? How much camber have you dialed in?

That is too bad news, but good to know. Looks like it's 8 inches max then.
