If you’re going to be tracking the 135 on a regular basis, you may want to look into having the front brake calipers rebuilt with new pistons and dust boots.

Nice save Elliot on going to the Mini’s passenger door. Remember, new Mini’s are German not British

[@alexbowyer6013]

I have a Mini Cooper S and use it as a dedicated track car. Doesn't have a lot of mods but has never broken down at the track. But you do worry as it is a BMW product :p

[@joaquimsilva7141]

Love that MC40, she isn't the fastest for sure but definitely not the slowest...

[@bryancohn9406]

I was at Heartland Friday and saw Elliot filming a bit on the white Camaro, didn’t see Tyler at the time. I’m a driver coach and I had clients running their cars so I was a bit busy! Good fun though, great to see your cars out there.

[@davidgalinat4257]

Hoovie, why did you break my MINI? lol. Dipstick breaking off in the tube, that's a new one!

[@MK-hx5wd]

That's just a sign for all over bad quality

[@MrManBuzz]

Common problem on these Minis, you could see it was ready to break when they pulled it out, but like morons they put it back in and then it broke off.

128i was the last true BMW. The 135i is an amazing car that shows how much the tech makes a difference. It is a ton of fun stock and amazing with bolt ons. I’d still take the 28 though. Won’t go as fast but the analog feel is why we fell in love with the Bavarian car back in the 80s.

[@CurtisL8.3066]

Every time Tyler goes to the track it costs him like 15 grand, so that’s why we have like 3-4 of these types of vids 😂

[@lilcs3011]

Since hoovie is the king of hoopties how about running a Nissan se r spec v?

[@realweston]

Hoovies garage gets some seat time?! 💖I love it!

[@CHIEFS8214]

How cool that people helped 👍. That's what I experienced running my Alfa Romeo GTV at Lake Afton. Guys waaaayyy smarter than me could ALWAYS figure it out 🤗

[@PatrickNosker]

I can't tell you how cool it is to see you driving my old 135i on the track. If you are interested, I'm a member at NJMP and would love to take you out with the McLaren I replaced it with. I'll even bring my M2 Competition for you to compare the 1 with!

[@FDI55]

If you are planning on using the 135i as a dedicated track car, do yourself a favour and pickup a set of Nankang AR-1 semis for it. For people that aren't racing for sheep stations they give fantastic performance for a lot less than A050s

[@MasterBaker2020]

“I don’t think it’s gonna break” Yeah, it’s gonna break.

[@ryshask]

the n54 is actually pretty great... Pulling boost because you didn't replace all of your coils so you are getting misfires [ which you ignore ]. Or might be bad fuel send. The old index coils known to be defective [ BMW should have recalled them along with the turbos for the rattle ]. But I digress. The engine is pretty good at protecting itself from damage. Which allows you to hammer on it for longer more worry free... I've got 170k miles on my n54 with no issues. I am pretty hard on it. I do hill climbs at WOT at excess temps... I AM at stock power though. Deciding whether to go N55 for more power or mod this car.

[@paulshannon4576]

When you start talking about Boost I thought it was chocolate or vanilla. 🤣🤣🤣

[@Brainshatterer]

Do you still have the PMR van? If so, I'd still love to have it. But you totally should have taken it out to the track. Maybe see if you could run it solo though so hopefully no damage to it. Looked fun though. I'd love to take my neon to a track like this. Maybe see if there is one here in middle TN.

[@brianferreira4554]

Ahahahahaha I’m f dead. Weed pipe 😂

[@abautoworks4674]

In addition to the supercharger by-pass valve, be sure to have the crankshaft balancer pulley checked on the Mini. They fall apart and will cause the same P1688 and limp mode.

[@pedromatajr8725]

That looks like so much fun! Makes sense how people spend thousands to make there cars fast. Wish I could do it.

[@misterdarkcloud2384]

i love these videos where it shows the tech under the car pissed off because frankly that's how it is, but not every customer gets that experience.

[@rserton]

"He crashed his BMW so he is more than qualified to drive my BMW........."

[@vincejordan2715]

I had the same exact problem with the chargepipe when I bought my 335, figured it was that as soon as he lost boost. N54 problems 😃
