Hi all
new to the forums. Ive been driving a 135i for the past 2 years. Im pretty interested in some modifications (engine rather than aesthetic) but dont know enough about cars to know where to start myself and dont really have time to learn. does anyone know of any good places in Perth that could help me out/advise?
Thanks!

Not sure about Perth, but the quickest and easiest thing is a tune. Procede and JB4 are DIY and even a noob can do it in an hour the first time round. This will give you a big improvement in power with next no effort.

I reckon based on my limited experience this alone will knock a second of the 1/4 mile time and at least 0.5 off your 0-100km/h times.

I assume that's a N54 then? Plenty of options, JB4 being the most popular, but I think Rai has gone the Cobb route. Downpipes and exhaust will give you more gain and faster response, and to finish it off, you need your intake and intercooler. While you are at it, might as well put in a new charge pipe and bov/dv just in case. If you come to Queensland, I am sure everyone will confuse you Meth is the best thing.

I think you mean convince! I am sure Rey will sort you out, might need to bring a fat wallet though

Go to WesternBM. The guy that runs the show is RaihaX. He has an unhealthy meth addiction but he will take good care of you.

I haven't done any engine mods yet but have been recommended Adrian at Ramp Auto Group.

Tab135 · 05-31-2012, 08:07 PM

Adrian is a good friend of mine..... i highly recommend his honesty!

Best advice thus far!
Tune + Downpipes + Intake / Charge pipe + Intercooler = easy 265-270 + rwkw

Its an N55, sorry shouldve specified (thanks wikipedia). Had a 125i for about a month before a hailstorm finished it off.

RaihaX is busy with work ATM so he might not be on for another day or two.

N55 hey... tune, front mount, chargepipe and downpipes.

ps: WesternBM doesn't exist... it's a 1addicts thing, lol. SouthernBM is the only legit business. NorthernBM and WesternBM are purely DIY members combined
