in the recommended tools section- looks like the skinny spark plug socket needs to be added to the list

Bluetooth works great for music in my 2012 135. Only problem I experience is the inability to answer a call with the answer call button on the steering wheel. Everything else works great for music or phone!

One other idea that recently popped into my head: This thread should address the differences between combox and the other entertainment system options like enhanced bluetooth and whatnot. When I bought my 135i, it took some research (which was aided by the fact that I had built an incomparable number of 1-series on BMWUSA.com), but I eventually realized I needed to buy BMW's y-cable (which was garbage) or the Tune2Air bluetooth adapter which works perfectly.

Well now, that was a damn depressing exercise. I looked up the N55 specifics this morning and edited my post above to clarify the original data as N54 specific and added in matching reference data for the N55. The N55 platform doesn't seem to have the same injector issues that the N54 does, but with the n55 injector prices it doesn't really matter. as an n54 owner:

Just signed up here, looking to buy an N54 1er. Hoping for space gray (or SGM) with coral int., but they seem to be damn near impossible to find with sub-60k and a reasonable price anywhere near NY.

Made a quick search for you, click here! No SGM's but a few good ones for sure.

Don't know if this was mentioned. However I had issues with my ABS module which I had rebuilt. Apparently it's a common issue with the N5x cars

For folks who are shopping you might include a mention of the Performance Engine Option that was offered through 2012. It included more horsepower and dual radiators, basically the 1M engine in a plain Jane 135i. It is important to note that the engine maintenance schedule is different than a stock N55. We don't want anyone accidentally screwing up the maintenance on one of these rare beasts.

Finding any particular models of these cars is impossible. You can find one that's vaguely what you want, but it's missing the (m-)sport package, or its been beat, wrong color interior/exterior, etc. I'm just forever thankful mine was in town. Just hopped on autotrader one day and there it was.

Run it with the AC on max. If it idles roughly, then you will probably need the SIB 12-15-14 update. You'll know.....it idles VERY roughly.

Also another suggestion: factory options? It's pretty complex being BMW changed a lot of them around between 2008 and 2013 but a basic list is in line for this thread. Sport Package - Sport seats (adjustable thigh support and bolstering) - Sport suspension - Blackline Shadow exterior trim M-Sport Package - Sport package - M Steering Wheel - M Shift knob/boot - M Style Wheels - Anthracite interior trim I think? - "Aero" Package Correct me and add other options. |

The injector part numbers are:
N54: 13-53-8-616-079 (Necessary Decoupler: 13-53-7-564-751) N55: 13-64-7-597-870 (Necessary Decoupler: 13-53-7-577-649) You MUST replace the decoupler when removing the injector or else the injector will not seat properly. Make sure to write down the new injector index numbers for proper coding. EDIT: I'd also like to add that they only built 586 of the "135is" models, and that you can find out what production number a particular car is as the list is on here But again, I'm bias to my model.
