Kitch's *400bhp* BMW M135i Race Car *INCREDIBLE* 😮 - On Track Review

[@ligma_nutz]

Finally someone who actually understands that track/race cars don't need to have 600bhp and prioritises safety and handling, beautifully setup car

[@Kitch96]

No point having tonnes of power if you can’t use it, reliable power is what its about. Could quite easily run 500bhp with a bigger turbo but it’s heat management which is the biggest issue

[@ligma_nutz]

@@Kitch96 I have the same opinion when using my Megane RS on track, it's funny when you see some people who have over 400bhp but they're lapping not much quicker than a standard car with a quicker driver

[@Kitch96]

@@ligma_nutz for sure mate! The added power for the rwd is ideal out the corners, especially with a tonne more toque

[@s44yyr]

Yep, and the good handling is where all the fun is from, not loads of power!

[@NielsHarkes]

I hear some rumble under braking. Warped discs or becuse they are groved? I run groved on my own car also and always windered if that is the reason it rumble under hard braking.

[@leetaylor238.]

Nice build Jack. How are you measuring temperatures? I assume on the wheel?

[@Kitch96]

Oil and water temps on the small screen on the steering wheel

[@ALISMACE]

@@Kitch96hi, nice video. What temperature does engine oil and radiator water work at? does it increase a lot? Thanks

Probably k20 , seen not one of them giving a good run for the money to these big budget builds

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Pretty sure it was a K20, was absolutely rapid! Unfortunately I didn't see him in the pits to ask. Looked really well setup and driven well too!

Are these cars fairly reliable in two minds weather to buy one

Yes they are! However... this has since suffered the engine go unfortunately 😔 A B58 engine is supposedly a better choice and more reliable

[@jameslovell3684]

the real question is how fast do you have to go for a 2 year ban? 😂

Enough to upset the local constabulary 😂 ie 118 in a 60 😬

@@Kitch96 bit harsh, when you consider you could drive around steaming pissed and only end up with a years ban

[@Tight--LiNeZ]

Let me get this straight. He did all that work and is running a generic map? Whaaat?

[@MrFabioSsousa]

I’m so let down with these m135i because of the N55 oil sump…

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Unfortunately this has suffered and engine loss since filming 😔 But he's going B58 this time round 💪🏻

[@MrFabioSsousa]

Wow, and he did swap the oil pick up system for the S55’s

[@user-ki8zf1rp1e]

​@@MrFabioSsousaA bit late but the S55 sump is incompatible with the B58 motor, not sure if the S58 sump is compatible either. From what I've seen, the variable oil pump on the B58 has been shown to be stout and reliable. At higher levels of racing, the pump modulation can become inconsistent resulting in suboptimal displacement of oil. You can unplug the modulator for the pump and it should run at 90psi all the time. Luckily at the levels that people are tracking their B58 engines, oil starvation doesn't seem to be a problem yet. I'm sure installing an accusump wouldn't hurt

[@bluesky8872]

Guessing this has a M2 sump/oil pick-up...

[@Kitch96]

S55 setup. Same as an F80 M3

I was actually quite impressed with it to be fair. It suits and works with that engine very well 👌🏻 He's had an M2 7 speed DCT put in now aswel

Unfortunately, I've figured out it has two sides to it - One being Patriotic to the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) cars, which is what alot of the UK recognise it for (myself included) ... The other not so good for numerous Historic reasons. It will not be worn again, as I'm aware it can be offensive. Apologies
