Yeah, pretty happy, but ordered a better intercooler, the 5inch ebay one isn't cutting it. its costing me power in 4th gear, as the N54 DME pulls timing if the IAT exceeds 50c. It sure is a lot of fun

Terrible quality Vid, but this was a run against a Holden HR with 350 Chev (supercharged). 305544622_5583835895066485_3758729153246777262_n.mp4

Starting to get my car dialed in. Ran 11.479 as best time for the day last weekend. In car dragy video.

Cars now fully tuned on NPD 100 plus charge pipe water meth at 80/20 ratio with a 750ml nozzle. It runs 24psi at 9.4 degrees of timing in the higher revs. This gives it super car levels of acceleration between 100-200km. Ruapuna isn't long enough for 200-250km test unfortunately. I'm already for drag race season starting in September. The goal is low 11s in the 127mph plus trap speed range.

Anyone want to talk me into/out of a 135i?
charles28 replied to Glacial Pace's topic in General Discussion
Had mine a year, no regrets. Mines a one trick pony roll race machine, but it's fun taking it to track events and beating cars down the straight that cost 10x more. An example, this one's probably only worth 5x more though. -
Just a 5inch stepped intercooler from ebay, I use water meth, so iat stays under 30c
-
Sold, will miss this one, was a good car

For sale. My 335i, that has had the following: VRSF Inlet Pipe VRSF Down Pipe 5 inch intercooler Alloy Charge Pipe Hybrid Turbo charger Custom tuned by Twisted Tuning for NPD100+ Fuel (BP 98 is also ok). Coils and 1 Step Colder plugs Valve Cover and Gasket High Pressure Fuel Pump 2 years ago. Transmission and Diff serviced. Has run 11.988 1/4 Mile at 119mph (At a Drag Strip with Timeslip) Video of it running 11.988 1/4 mile. https://youtu.be/5_1FZIZZT8k?t=139 I have owned this car for almost 3 years and have had no serious issues, servicing is up to date. Its been a very good vehicle over the 3 years I have owned it. I have no use for this car anymore as I have moved into a 135i with N54 engine which I have made stupid fast, this car is pretty fast though, but I got an F20 116i as a economical alternative for a daily driver. That said this car can easily average 7.4L/100k on a road trip.

500whp + , limited by fuel system at this point

Yeah, stock downpipes on those Stage 1 runs, only mod was charge pipe at the time.

As I am a geek, I did some dragy runs and virtual dynos with my 2008 135i when I purchased it. Firstly with stock ECU Map it ran 13.4 1/4 mile. With Stage 1 it ran 12.93 1/4 mile. With Stage 1+ it ran 12.75 1/4 mile. So this gives you an idea of the difference Stock to stage 1 and stage 1+ makes on these cars. I didn't run stage 2 OTS tunes to test, as I went full send and upgraded turbos etc. But to get an idea of some serious power, here is stock vs 17T turbos with inlets etc. Quarter mile not tested officially, its too fast to test without a drag day, but its a lot faster than my 11 second 335i.

Nice cars, I have several friends with these M135i's. One has a Pure Stage 2 turbo, another a TTE550 turbo and the last one stock turbo. These ones are crazy fast. The stock turbo one still ran 12.14 1/4 mile, pretty decent with the EWG turbo these cars.
-
Yeah, its a lot of fun. Its currently awaiting LCI tail lights and Ferodo DS2500 Brake Pads.
-
Yeah this platform is awesome value
-
Yeah, this car goes rather well, its up for sale now as I've moved on to my even faster 135i build. Dragy is an APP but it also uses a hardware device to function.
-
Thanks bud, its also up for sale

Markings on Chassis rails, E90 335i 2011
charles28 replied to charles28's topic in General Discussion
hmm guy I talk to with a 135i has a pen mark too, just on one side. so seems like it might be a normal thing. -
A friend just had a PPI done on this car and they mentioned these marks on the left and right chassis rails. Are these normal factory markings? My identical model car doesn't seem to have them, but its also black rather than white and would be hard to see.
-
I reckon try a 2009 ish Audi S3, will be similar to what you're used to in a much more refined package. Mmm whoops this is bimmersport not vask.org.nz ummmm 335i
-
Car is SOLD and I got my 14k I wanted It sold a bit quicker than expected and I ended up with no car, so bought a cheap Commodore for 1300 as a run about.. good ole VT heh, Audi was sold off a few months back.

This is my 2007 530i, LCI Motorsport, 104,800km japanese service history showing all servicing from new until late last year, first Reg in NZ Jan this year. I like this car, however I just can't justify owning it to drive 4.7k to work and back each day. ( I used to have a 70k a day commute, but changed Jobs). 5 Months remains on the Autosure warranty, no known issues. Vin Decode: https://www.etkbmw.com/bmw/EN/vin/decoder/CU35233/EN Looking for 14k, which seems to be a good price for the LCI in motorsport trim going by other cars for sale. Has the N52K engine which is 200kw, but without the hassles of the N53 Direct Injection engine.

Turns out they only replaced the filter/sender unit not the actual fuel pump, had the car back a week now, smells really strongly of fuel inside since I got it back, i guess they let fuel spray everywhere when they replaced the part.. even leaving the windows down in the garage for days, then driving the car and leaving it locked at work for the day, you get back in and it stinks bad... idiots.. wish i had just fixed it myself, i would have de-pressurized the pump, or covered everything so that this didn't happen..
