135i Review

Hey there!

I’ve just made a video about 135i tuning and suspension upgrades. I’m hoping that you guys will find it entertaining!

Seems reasonable for a 500hp car - with a long enough run, although I'm not sure about the E82's aerodynamics..

Awesome video, thanks!

OP: Stop mucking around, you have an awesome car and you've sorted the engine and the suspension. Do the LSD now and work out how you're going to afford it later. Seeing what you have done and how you drive on video - you have no idea how much the eLSD is holding you back.

It’s definitely on my list. I have a lot of plans for the car. Stay tuned!

Great video man, are you out of North County SD? Some of those roads look like the Palomar Mt. area.

Gear ratios will be the problem..

Regarding top speed, I'm always reminded of this modified 135i "chasing" a 997 Turbo on the autobahn.

Harry's LapTimer shows 304km/h right around 3:30 in the video:

The 2007 Alpina B3 has the same hardware as the 135i, with just 360 hp and can get to 180.

Thanks! Yes, its a beautiful place and I can't believe how good the roads are on Palomar Mountain. The whole area is fantastic.
