Have a stock N55 135i: Can confirm - this thing is wild, even with only 300hp. Torque curve is flat from 1500-4000 RPM. Needs a limited slip in the back but that's the only real achilles heel of the non-M 1ers. It's truly the last "analog" BMW driver's car.

I have a S2 Dinan tune on my N55 135i, and I agree, it really needs a true LSD.

Get ready for the N54 tuners to call foul on this N55 making more than 400hp on a stock turbo…

[@auszman]

I have one Of these with a later model rebuilt F series N55 installed + tune and a DCT - Black with RED interior - phenomenal cars...

[@michealangelo8558]

Not gonna lie...that turbo sound might of made me lose NNN

[@swayiglesias]

2:12 This seriously called me out. I've owned an s550, new edge, and 2 s197s and recently got interested in BMW's, specifically the 135i. Thanks for this amazing video.

I love how I live on the highway he takes everything on so I can tell exactly which speed limits he's breaking

[@cam8209]

I've still prob done faster

[@sab5043]

I'm super proud to own a car that RCR actually loves :D :D :D

[@DigitalDissident]

Ja

[@JaspreetSingh-kn5qr]

Sorry RCR, not spending $50+shipping on a mug..

[@Stripestore]

I mean I get that it’s a way to skirt around raffle laws but why does it have to always be the car merch equivalent of a “LiveLaughLove” sign? When they announced the raffles I figured the merch would be RCR branded, not some tacky generic “car guy” slogan from a targeted Facebook ad your in-laws buy you for Christmas. Pure landfill.

I'm just glad I purchased my 135i MSport (6-speed MT) years before the word got out. If the stock 300hp - 300lb.ft of torque ever becomes boring, I know there's room for more.

I hope whoever wins this rips that //M badge off the trunk lmao

[@E9X330]

Same

[@e36_sky36]

I have thoughts of selling my 135i till I take it on some backroads and open her up. Best car I’ve ever owned, whoever wins this beauty will be in for a hell of a ride

[@PHRCpvh]

Man, for once that car sounded like a turbo diesel pick-up truck.

[@Schmidt54]

The older 1-series in Germany is nicknamed "Hängebauchschwein" (pot-bellied pig) because of its curved door design, which they changed later to a straight line.

07:00I wasn’t ready for top Beamer and I’m not worthy

"This is what worries me..." The Peterbilt hat worries me :)

[@risomontana9916]

Nice BMW Grand National

[@Atlastheyote222]

This the BMW community at its finest 💙

[@atomicforcegaming2867]

Lmao, yeah its great until all your oil seals fail and you start calling yourself Tyler Hoover.

[@westonsmith6925]

Mr. regular has to do more of that format where he's driving and talking like that, not the POV drives but what he did here for a few min

[@rayleeharris]
