Car looks great man. What did you do to address the fender liners?

Also, 275 square, or 275 front, 285 rear?

Looks great ! Good luck with the DCT swap, look forward to seeing the final results.
thanks, but it's already done . i need more time for new posts.

Does the front flare out more than the rear? or is it aligned right up with the rest of the car. Cause I know I've heard that if you do the front you have to do the rear also. Car looks awesome though my friend
we have wide front end from 1m - bumper, fenders etc.
rear fenders are stock, we only little bit cut inner edge to use 275 wheels.
so yes, our 135 now has different track on front and rear. but it runs excellent on track, and drives on the street without any problems.
and nothing about understeer!

are you about this parts?


we had bought them from 1m. but they don't want to work with 275 without improvements - we were heated them and rolled a lot, front and rear side, and even bend some little metal piece on the body, which locates under rear side of the liner. now after all of this, tyres doesn't rub at all.
and yes, we have 275/35 r18 all around.

it's not a problem mate, but do you understand, that this upgrade most oriented for track cars?

on daily use, it doesn't lasts very long and you'll need to change rod ends.

dct installed.
so when swap was finished, i drove to make some test riding. for about 30km i've got fault codes few times.
this problem was seen only when i drove in two legs (one on brake and one on gas), and tried to start acceleration immediately after braking. so then car lag for about a second or two, and gave a fault on dash.
long story short, it looked like oil starvation. oil level was good, like manual recommends.

but, i saw in ista, that on m3 gts, dct takes one liter more.

transmission fully the same on both cars - so no different in oil volume to the level plug.
they won this problem simple and easy - where level plug locates, they fits banjo, with end turned to the top. so, you need to top up oil like always, before it goes back, and then, you fit this banjo and top up additional liter thru the end.
after that you'll get oil level higher that usual, and chances for getting oil starvation reduced.

so, i needed to test this assumption, and i was jacking our 135 on one side and topped up this liter without any banjo

tests after that shown that problem gone.

Yup, that's the one. So, where did you rub with the 275? What metal piece are you referring to?

Thanks for the answer. Very cool build so far!

it's about the same height with center of the wheel, front and rear side of the liners.
metal piece - under rear side of the liner.
car now have some track days. when it will return, i'll try to make some pics.

slonik Great build man! I wanna do the exact same with just the front end. How did you get around getting the side skirts to match up?

we've bend them with heating gun.


so, after oil starvation was fixed, i've drove to reflash our previous tune, which we made on at config earlier.

but not so easy - after it was reflashed, i've drove to make some road tests and saw that clutches slips on all gears on 3k+ rpms and any noticable pushing on the gas.

then i've spent about a week, asked our tuner about this problem with clutch slipping (all correct, i don't know what is it (c)), spoken with a lot of other people, who also make tunes for this engines.
all came down to incorrect remap. one of my mates, who drives 335 on n54 and dct offer me to try map from his car.
if his car drives okay, and our car has problem with tune, so on his remap our car must go correct.
so we've tried to reflash his tune and miracle - dct drove without any clutch slipping!


this is in whp, so it's little bit under 400 flywheel hp and 630nm of torque.

running little ahead - when we tested on track later, after few laps clutch can slips slightly, when we push the gas hard from low rpms on 3-4 gear.
so i think we need to correct our tune slightly on this 3-4k rpm range, where we have a lot of torque.

also we need to try, to make our at shift paddles working with dct.


ps flywheel works good - gearbox rattle only little, when oil goes too hot. on usual street driving you can hear some rattle only on idle and if you stay near the car and listening it closely. inside the car all works very quite.

Car looks great. I'm thinking of doing the front end conversion soon. How aggressive is that wheel setup? Is it street able?

Awesome build. Can you please share more information on your seat set up? What seat rails? Do you think you gained any headroom?

as for me, tyre rubbing is most annoying moment in this setup.
if all done well, tyre will not rub at all.
in the rest, car drives excellent even on public roads.

i also scared this moment, before we started this conversion. but with heating gun it took about 2-3 hours, and looks not so bad.

seats - one of the cheapest brand, which one of the local shops had in their stock on that moment.
about seat mountings. lowest part -custom cnc machined plates (aircraft aluminum).
then adjustable one, OMP sliders.
http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motors...unner-kit-each
they works really great, seat moves easily like on newest cars from factory.

and then cheapest aluminum mounts
http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/product...roducts_id=339
which i had cut in height to fit better on lower fixing positions, and then paint them in semi-gloss black (it's most combined color with interior plastic).

seats now fixed on second position from lowest one, cause on lowest i don't see road through the steering wheel (i'm 180cm height).
and our drivers has a lot of room for driving in helmets.

ps weight reduction - 33.5 kgs with not the lightest seats.
minus
oem seats with mountings
oem harness
subwoofers

plus
bucket seats
all mountings
and 6 point harness.

What kind of tyre/rim setup would you recommend? If you don't mind.

I had been pondering buying the 1M front rims for a nice 245-255 square. (Expensive but they do look the best) Do you think the front 1M wheel would fit in the stock 135i rear wheel well no rub?

Front Wheels - 19x9" ET31 (25.4 LBS, 31mm offset) - BMW Part # 36-11-2-284-055

we have apex ec7 rims. you can choose best et and width setup for your config in their models list.
front axle - et22 and 9.5 width, rear et58 and 9.5 width. on the front 5mm spacers, as i remember correct, to fit with st coilovers.
i think it's the best parameters you can choose, cause all other configurations needs a lot more modifications or doesn't fit at all.

tyres - hankook rs3, 275/35r18. we will try hankook z214 semi slick later.
