Video interview from recent 1addicts meetup

kioko12 · 11-03-2010, 01:09 AM

I was going to post this in the regional section, but figured others might be interested.

Check out this quick YouTube interview from one of our fellow 1ers, Mark "M2." He was kind enough to give some high level impressions on his Dinan Stage 2 tune and general observations from his 135i that he's owned for about 2 years now.

Many thanks to the other drivers who showed up that day and gave a warm reception to my new, non-BMW ride. (I recently sold my A/T 135i 'vert for a 6MT Civic Si as a "stepping stone" car for now). Hopefully we can get at least one more in before the weather gets too cold for the tires

We'll be doing a mini-trip to Skyline Drive soon. Stay tuned for more (better quality) reviews, interviews, and test drives on my YouTube channel.

Interesting interview.

Late in the interview there was a statement that the early 135's did not come with the front mounted aux oil cooler....not true. I have one of the first 135's in the US and it does have the oil cooler.
I believe that what he meant to say is that some of the early 335's did not have the oil cooler.

Nope, actually it was my 135i, and it didn't have the front oil cooler under the right wheel well. It was an '08 AT 'vert w/o the sport package.

Inexcusable on BMW's part in any case!

Yeah, I think it was only left out on the automatic models, but it definitely was not just with the 335i. I was quite surprised when I found out my 135i didn't have one either.

WOW....really...I stand corrected.
I thought it was only the 335's without the sport package...Hmmmmmm
