BMW Performance 135 AW - in stock

Kris · 05-21-2008, 03:36 PM

Cool, pre-owned, pre-flogged, over priced and in white. $100k is a deal :P

Carlos · 05-21-2008, 04:21 PM

I'm sure they will find someone that will want their car immediately and like that. Still I reckon it is too expensive

Kris · 05-21-2008, 07:24 PM

Anyone notice in the commercial area that there is a 135i LSD coming

and possibly cams and ECU programming?

WAY · 05-21-2008, 08:11 PM

LSD coming? Retro fit-able??? I know about the ECU but I will stick to after market on that one.

Kris · 05-21-2008, 08:12 PM

Yes, its a 1 series performance part.. Theres a picture of it on the bmwgroup press page..

WAY · 05-21-2008, 08:30 PM

Err, do you have a link? I am not familiar wth the press page...

Kris · 05-21-2008, 08:40 PM

i saw that earlier too, but i could not find any further corroboration of that information on the net. i wonder if its all a bit dody when the 1-series interior they show is actually that of a 3 series. that said, a 1 series mechanical LSD would be undeniably the best thing since sliced bread!

Thanks! I think the LSD is for 3 series only at the moment. So I am not sure where that came from...

it actually says it's a 1 Series LSD

Carlos · 05-22-2008, 03:14 AM

Yes, 1 series

andrew@southernBM · 05-22-2008, 05:04 AM

Where did it say cams and ECU reprogramming, i really can't see BMW offering this. Or should i say i really can't see BMW Australia offering this.

Kris · 05-22-2008, 05:05 AM

Andrew, read through that Dan@United post in the Commerical section, it talks about it. ECU is being offered, they suspect cams also..

professor · 05-22-2008, 05:09 AM

He does say that this information is very tentative at the moment though.

andrew@southernBM · 05-22-2008, 05:12 AM

many thanks,

Cams, intercooler, blow off valve, full exhaust, strip out interior, track tyres, Active processor......

andrew@southernBM · 05-22-2008, 05:13 AM

I wouldn't of thought BMW Australia would offer the tune though, ADR's and all, time will tell i suppose

aedeau · 05-22-2008, 05:15 AM

can the performance brakes be fitted to models other than the 135i? I'm picking up a 120d Msport in about 3 weeks and not entirely confident that the stock brakes will hold up on Mt. Glorious runs :biggrin:.

I took my R56 Cooper S out there the other week and toasted the brakes lol... car was flashing warning lights at me until I pulled over and let them cool down for a bit.

andrew@southernBM · 05-22-2008, 05:24 AM

Car is at Mornington now FYI,

They've got a car sitting in stock right now, if not sold in the next 24 hours, it'll be going down to Mornington to be sold.

Hope this helps someone.

andrew@southernBM · 05-23-2008, 07:16 AM

We won't be seeing cams or ECU available by BMW Australia.

professor · 05-23-2008, 07:19 AM

andrew, just to confirm this unpleasant shocker (

) it is bmw australia that will not pass it on to us or is it BMW AG that will not be developing those?
