Surely race the S65 powered one against this, would be very interesting! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ace Of Spades 51 Report post Posted August 31, 2021 SICK! Ray these 1 series you keep pulling out have got me wondering if there is an itch that needs scratching... What would be the cost vs performance gain be compared to the 140i S56 or the 135i n54? Is there a manual trans that would hold the torque? Which one of the 3 would be the best for the daily commute?

qube 3570 Report post Posted August 31, 2021 I imagine the S65 would be more expensive, and neither the S65 or N54 would have anything close to 800Nm torque. probably around 400-450? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep. You`ve got it. M57 is the cheapest to build though nothing beats a V8 in my book. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All done now. 140i S65 def. the most expensive but my favourite then the 135d and then the N54. Have a S65 manual trans kit sitting here to maybe use in the 140 though hard to go past DCT Daily commute would have to be the 135d aprox. 8 l/100km and only a handful when you give it some pedal.
