I really hope they don't charge an arm and a leg for 15PS and 50NM , I mean they have to look at what tuners are doing and how much they are pricing these stuff. I wonder if you will make more if you have the BMW Pref Exhaust and this power kit

7-speed DCT? 326HP?
is this post about a "kit" really a software mod? aren't they talking about the next release of the N54 engine? Why would they only increase the power by 26 HP?? I thought I read some time ago that the N54 successor will have 326 HP.

The version in the new 7er has 326 if I'm not mistaken. The 7-Speed DTC is only available in the 335i I think. But how can a 25PS increase and 50NM(for auto) give a better 0-100 time by 0.2 sec? is it possible?

If i'm not mistaken, some tests have shown our engines to bring an actual Crank Horsepower of 332, as opposed to the stated 300. If its true, I don't know, but it actually makes sense.

If its out soon I will get it. 20 hp is exactly what i want and it will complement my almost full Performance edition of my car. It is covered under warranty and thats a big deal for me especially if I have BMW service inclusive.
Not that it is important but those 20hp is exactly what i need to beat my friends porsche cayman s

Unless the 135/335 have the most efficient trannies ever constructed (by FAR) the engine is already making damn near that.
Multiple independent dynos have shown 275rwhp which is just about 320bhp. So this seems like shenanigans or they're really giving us 6 hp. If this is the factory tune we've been hearing about, I'm thoroughly disappointed. It basically assures that Ill be getting a JB eventually. PS: I'm really surprised how often you still see people who own 135s and 335s on this (and others) forum that still talk as if the N54 really only makes 300hp. |

Seems like a good concept imo. Deliver something to the enthusiast crowd that was rumored to exist already (magazines getting juiced 135s for their testing). Cost to BMW = 0. All profit. And it appears they have gotten it painfully wrong. Rivals the stupidity of ford putting a solid rear axle on the mustang.

That's a waste of time.
If bmw wants more of my money.. they need to offer a performance catalog limited slip differential for the 135i.

This is ridiculous, ludicrous, comical, hillarious, laughable, nonsensical, preposterous, absurd, idiotic, and an absolute, complete, utter, total and infrangible JOKE. 0.5 seconds? 326bhp? (probably @ $1000 per 1bhp). Good day, BMW. If this is the long-awaited factory performance upgrade..you stink.

1. BMW should come up with a real sports car: a 1 series, 3.0ltr. and 6 flat in line (NO TURBO shit) but just the Atmo with 325 bhp, - 125kg and you have the winner.
2. Good powerupgrade of BMW, even with those hardware modifications as well. As we all know the standard 135i gives a lot more than the 306bhp (330/335bhp peaks have been meassured). Then we - ofcourse(!) - can conclude that the unofficial BMW powerupgrade will be a lot more then 325bhp. I predict that the car will deliver easily 350/355bhp. That being said, it is the same (performancewise) a kind of stage 1 version of a lot of piggybag software going around, but than fully BMW approved. And, I bet you, it will drive a lot smoother (less turbo lag, crispy throttle respons, etc.) than a lot of piggybags with pumped up Psi's. So I would really recommend this powerupgrade. Have fun!

This is rediculous. If they think they are going to compete in this market, they should have offered a real product. Maybe they are going to release stages, and this is just stage 1? stage 2 is upgraded downpipes? Software again?
If BMW could add 60 - 80 more hp in a factory tune, then I'd ignore all of the other tuners... but 20?

It is amazing to me how many are evaluating this with no facts whatsoever. Don't know the price, but ass-u-me it will be outrageous. Don't know the performance, but ass-u-me it will be poor. Don't know much of anything, but more than willing to spout off. How about waiting for a few facts before judging. Really makes you wonder about other opinions expressed here. Prejudice is the act of prejudging.
rcracer_tx got it right! EDIT: rcracer_tx removed his post above with a cute lil' baby saying "This Thread Sucks" (Guess he was afraid he might hurt somebody's fragile feelings?) so now this makes no sense. But he did have it right at one time. EDIT 2: Apologies to rcracer_tx, evidently the mods found a photo of a baby to be far too controversial for this forum. Or maybe it was use of the term "s*cks"? After all Grandma may be watching! Last edited by davemohan; 02-14-2009 at 04:20 PM.. Reason: contained reference to subsequently deleted post |
