How many K's on your 116i? just so I know when to expect this perhaps.

And there I am thinking, is 600hp enough, just ordered a bigger intercooler. yes i'm a mad man

Model 3 Performance vs 135i, the old dudes at the track thought I was a hero beating this.

Some Clips from a trackday a few weeks ago.
It was fun pulling on the 911 turbo down the main straight.

135i vs Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, $180,000 of machine.
They come with the Dodge Hellcat engine that starts with 707hp, this one had some bolt ons.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

With those Stage 1 and Stage 1+ pulls did you have downpipes installed ? Just wondering if the results you got would be relevant for my 335i with OEM downpipes ? I'm a kind of "set and forget" guy so now that the car is running nice I haven't bothered to do any logging.
Cheers
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.

E9X E8X N54/55 BMWs gotta be the best value performance base out there these days.
Yeah this platform is awesome value

.
ps. which app did you use for the measurements?
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.

E82 135i... Maintenance and stuff
in General Discussion
Posted · Report reply
Hi,
There are some common issues.
They are at an age where if you're lucky, most have been remedied. ie HPFP, Injectors, various oil leaks (OHHG, VCG etc)
However waterpumps have a tendency to just fail without warning and sometimes don't last many K's
The N55 engine has the same water pump issues too.
Mines been ok and i'm pushing about 600hp, but maybe i'm just lucky.
I would strongly recommend a pre-purchase inspection from a Euro car specialist (not the dealer)
