430HP BMW M135i *MANUAL* REVIEW on AUTOBAHN [NO SPEED LIMIT]

[@jimidebruinn]

Big thanksss for this amazing video! The exhaust burble setting is turned off now (even I wasn't a big fan of it). It is now replaced by an amazing intake sound :)

[@richardtrow2751]

Nice car 👌 I have a 2015 lci in white manual , quaife LSD and a few other mods 😉 great fun car 👍

[@iShredStreets]

Mooie auto, goos!

[@vollcare4076]

Nice mods Jimi. I recommend you to change brake pads to such like Endless MX72 (for fast street use). Also rear subframe inserts (Powerflex, yellow or black) will tighten the rear and give you more feedback and precision

[@richardtrow2751]

@@vollcare4076 yes agree 👍 fitted the black subframe bush inserts and the underbody brace to mine night and day difference 👌

[@nomercy4708]

got you on video at driveforlife!

[@Dutch3men]

Thanks for this review, I was the previous owner of this car (most of the mods where done by me). I was planning to bring the car for a review to AutoTopNL, but never had the time and a few weeks later I sold this car and got a BMW M3 F80. Great that the new owner (Jimi) had it reviewed by you guys and nice to hear that you enjoyed the car as much as I did, the burble settings was indeed a bit to much, and like Jimi already said I have turned those off for him. This is the modlist: - Wagner 200 Cell Downpipe - Wagner Intercooler - Midpipe delete - FTP Chargepipe - FTP Boostpipe - M3 F80 Control Arms - Eibach Pro-Street S Coilover - Modified Backbox - M-Performance Limited Slip Differential - M-Performance Alcantara LED Steering Wheel - Z-Performance ZP.09 Deep Concave 19" High Gloss Black - Rieger Diffuser High Gloss Black - Perl Carbon Front Splitter High Gloss Black - MHD Stage 2+ (430 PK 630 NM) - Rennessis V2 Highline Spoiler High Gloss Black - Clutch Stop Mod

[@vollcare4076]

The clutch itself is still stock ?

[@Dutch3men]

@@vollcare4076 Yes

[@acebrometheus6]

@fabian how’d you get the pops to sound like they do in this video? Do you remember the settings?

[@Dutch3men]

@@acebrometheus6 I think it was something like this in MHD: Exhaust Burble: On Duration (base) 0.1s Duration (sport) 0.1s Aggressiveness: Hard (better do a lower setting) Min RPM: 3000 (or something, didn't want to have pops & bangs when I was driving less then 30km/h or something like that). Min Speed: 0kmh/0mph Exhaust flaps always open in sport mode: Enabled So when you had a pop it was only one, and not a fart for half a second or longer ;)

M135i manual LSD owner here, i completely agree on everything you said (stock handling, LSD, Engine, gearbox), it is just a unique package, a lovely great little car, even with a few flaws. Talking about brakes I’m running ebc yellow and braided lines, with stock power i find them adequate.

[@JackDaniels16]

how much did yall pay for the car? And what is your montly expense for them? If i might ask

[@JD-it9rc]

Does the LSD make a night and day difference? Or is it more subtle and only when you push the car can you notice the difference?

[@Dutch3men]

@@JD-it9rc it is a must have, the car will be much more predictable!

[@patrikhanc1995]

definitely overall the nicest you've tested (Y) and also the first to have the shift lights set correctly

[@rojbalc77]

What a great car. I used to have the 3 series with the same motor, real wheel drive, manual transmission and the M-sport short shifter. Such a great driving experience - in some respects better than my current RS4 (4 wheel drive, AT).

I like these 135 140 M reviews, it gets us great performance and drivability for the price... Some of us cant afford 100k€+ out of pocket. Its nice to see all the cars, but end of the day you didn do nothing if you dont own or drive something decent ... Keep up the good work

The steering wheel is not straight is it!? But I have missed the 1 series content. As a 116i enthusiast I do love a fast 1 series :D

[@truscrpn]

@AutoTopNL Which setup do you use for your POV videos? I am particularly interested in how you mount your GoPro or DJI action camera. With a headband?

[@user-Nagatsuki_Tomo]

The M135i manual is not officially imported in Japan, so there is only 8AT. Are manual M135i more popular in Germany?

[@vollcare4076]

They become more an more popular as people realize there are no manuals anymore But during production days 2012-2018 there was only ca 20% manuals in M135/140 But the 8-speed is pretty good, quick and solid. So it’s more popular as the old SMG on E46 etc

[@Testdriver_Peo]

I don't mind doing the same car for a lot of times as long as it has been set up nicely. I quite like to be honest. 😁

I didn't know there was a facelifted M135i! I thought the facelift was only available as a M140i (apart from lesser versions)...

[@vollcare4076]

Beginning 2015 to mid 2016: M135i with LCI1

[@wheelwrightpl9429]

Is the shifter rubbery and vague ? Is it stock ? (except the knob of course)

[@captainminecraftist]

if your used to a miata or something yes. If your coming from other modern cars no. Its not like your losing where you are because the throws are long enouygh. The miata needs tactile feel becasue its such a short shifter that you get it wrong by just a little bit and you could be in 5th instead of 3rd. It feels like the steering wheel level of vibration in the shifter so it vibrates but it doesn't really feel truly connected to the drivetrain like old cars do.

[@TomMarvoloRiddle01]

I have the manual and the gearbox its actually very very crisp. I ordered a cae chassis mounted short shifter now. Its gona be a dream.

[@corrupthope8126]

Funny how my 2014 BMW Z4 35is with "only" 378HP and 589Nm (Mosselman stage 1 tuned and dyno'ed) can do 100-200 km/h in 9,94 sec (Dragy verified), yet this M135i with 430HP and 630NM does 10.2 sec.. That's a 50HP and 41Nm difference.. Is the manual really that much slower than DCT? Or does this 1-series simply have a lot more drag than a E89 Z4? Or are the submitted MHD Stage 2+ numbers only theoretical?

[@jimidebruinn]

Honestly I think the MHD Stage 2+ numbers are just theoretical. Also the 32 degrees weather didn't help :)

[@zee1unknown171]

Like he said the cars not for performance and on top of that it’s a manual more fun engaging and skilful than flooring an auto
