  1. Doesn't sound right at all, my 2008 135i modded with 419wkw (double factory power) averages 12-13L/100km in city traffic. You might want to get it checked at the dealer or euro specialist.
  2. Yeah, its a great wee car the 130i Kiwi Car life fella has just sold it and bought an E46 M3 with dodgy SMG that will get manual swap.
  3. He wasn't that interested in power, as he was meant to be comparing a "stock" 135i to his car lol. Was probably around 420whp still though, got an LSD now which has helped it out.
  4. Thanks, the Apex wheels and Le Mans blue help it stand out a bit.
  5. 130i vs 135i Comparison vid. My car was de-tuned for this vid, at his request

    N54 HPFP

    the new HPFP was a dud. Appears Marelli HPFP is garbage. Although I suspect the one I got was counterfeit as it looks the same as the aliexpress ones other than a Marelli sticker.

    N54 HPFP

    My HPFP was getting dodgy, error codes and rough running from cold, rail pressure drops even at idle now and then. It could however maintain rail pressure at high rpm, but.not aswell as it should have. Yesterday I replaced it with a marelli magneti branded hpfp, I now have the opposite issue. My cold start, idle and cruise rail pressure looks good. However at wide open throttle the pressure crashes over 5000rpm. See log: https://datazap.me/u/charlesb/rail-pressure-crash-map-1?log=0&data=3-4-21-22 Has anyone used this brand before?
  8. Bmw dealer, mate got them at trade for me, still 4500 bucks
  9. Launch control isn't really needed, you can brake boost launch them pretty well and ones with launch control from the factory only let you do a certain amount of launch control launches anyway. Hennie at HSP Tuning in Auckland could probably help you with some things, he comes down to Christchurch sometimes. First thing you need to upgrade is your plastic charge pipe, it'll break even at stock boost.
  10. No conflicts. MHD is for flashing the ECU tune, XHP the TCU tune, Bimmercode doesn't do either of these, its more about coding
  11. Just get the XHP TCU flash and enable launch control with that.
  12. 2008 135i with 17T Turbos, 24-25psi. done early this year. The Graph is wonky due to the ZF6 trans according to the dyno operator. Car is making a lot more power now however yet to re-dyno it.
  13. Today was fresh index 12 injectors
