Performance 135I at Classic BMW

ulrichd · 08-15-2008, 07:37 PM

Here it is on ebay for 55K. They didn't even put the performance aero kit on it.

55 grand and no BMW Performance Seats. What a rip off.
I like the hood.

nice find.

very nice, why is the dyno so low tho, did they mod up a 128 and make it look like a 135, because that is a very low dyno for a 135

While I was there I should have showed them my M door sills.

Dynos are based on wheel HP... once you add drivetrain loss (~12-18% - nobody knows for sure, plus it's dynamic), and you're still well over claimed stock figures.

I went by today and checked it out. They have added the brake price to the list, I forgot how much it was. Odd that the spoiler takes as much work as the exhaust to install. The price is a joke, but it's what I expect from them. $4100 for the wheels, and they have the stock tires. I thought about asking the sales people if they give you the original wheels with that. I think we can all figure out the answer to that one.

Oh, and I find it odd that after all they did, they didn't bother changing the grills. Also, they have active steering on that one, odd for a "performance" package, isn't it?

weak sauce.

350.00 for stickers??
4100.00 for cheap wheels and tires??
no aero kit?

where did they get the stickers from?! i love that look for the bonnet!

KeithLM · 08-17-2008, 11:46 AM

The hood was painted. They have it marked down as paint, and when you examine the front edge of the hood it doesn't appear to be a decal.

Wow, that is a huge premium for those parts. If i wanted that car, I would buy the parts myself and sell the stock ones. I wonder why only the front suspension is upgraded?

That price is pretty high. I'm very curious as how they got the strut brace to fit. I'll be sending these pics to BMW NA and ask for an explanation! :wink:
