[suspenceful]

I finally made it to the 10 second club! One of four(?) N54-powered vehicles in the 10's with a manual transmission.

If you want to watch the whole process and how I eventually ran the 10 sec pass, watch the video below. Otherwise if you just care about the results, slip is below

Gonna work on chopping that 60ft down and improve shifts to knock it down even further.



Dragy slip from the same run:

Incredible job. I've never really thought of BMWs as drag cars, especially the 135 but that N54 is one hell of an engine and really responds well to mods. Looked like a lot of fun. Congrats.

That trap is really something. Kudos

What oil do you use for your car?

Yeah, it's come a long way in the 5 years I've owned it. Never thought it'd go 10's!

Congrats Jake!
Love your videos brother! Keep it up!

I also have a YouTube channel here in Mexico. But my 135is is not as fast as yours.

Cheers brother!

Thanks guys! I appreciate the kind words, seriously. Keeps me going.

For anyone curious, I put my 135i on the scale to see how much it weighed when I ran that 10 second pass...





When I'm in the car, it's 3450lbs. Light driver mod.

Well, I went back to the drag strip the other day. Made a decent shakedown pass, well on my way to setting a personal best.



Then I snapped an axle. This is the 3rd stock axle that I've snapped.





I'm sick of throwing junkyard axles in it and driving like I'm on glass, so I decided it's time to give the car the parts it really needs.
