IT TOOK ME 12 MONTHS TO COMPLETE MY BIG POWER BMW E82 135I BUILD

[@EYLOGITOS]

I have a heavily tuned 135i with pure turbos and custom map from Kenni of Wedge Performance (hes a true N54 master) so I can feel you so much... This video shows the struggle someone goes through in a project like this and goodthing that you do all this work by yourself because it could cost SO MUCH MORE... In the end, this is a rare, beautiful, small powerhouse so don't give up!

[@Tony_3d_]

This demonstrates a fine example of what happens when you modify your car. It’s never as simple as adding a new exhaust turbos and a remap. The car was setup to handle the factory build. So the extra power put extra strain on everything. Great video Chris can’t wait to see you finally finish the BMW

[@Chris_Slix]

Its never simple 😅 thanks

[@LAIRDY67]

Great genuine painful car content, this is how jobs go in the real world for us ordinary people, good luck Chris

[@paul555sti]

Surely needs a proper professional map on the road or rollers to check the fuelling and everything else.

[@Chris_Slix]

I was doing this at the end of the video 😊

[@Vellyorla]

I guessing he means at a actual shop on a dyno

[@Chris_Slix]

@@Vellyorla it is being done remotely, the logs being taken read the fueling, boost, intake temps etc the same as if the car was on a dyno then sent to wedge performance who are BMW n54 specialists who then write a tune for that car. There is no reason it would need to go to another company.

[@FPV-TV419]

Nothing wrong with doing it this way... but would a been a lot less hassle to take it to a rolling road lol

[@ggogoo]

13:16 those sparkplugs need to be gapped down to .020- .022 when used in N54. Hope this helps with the misfire 🤞

[@Chris_Slix]

It was the flywheel in the end apparently! Easily mapped and sorted 😊

[@AbbasKhan-np6ne]

Bring it back

[@DigitalDissident]

I've been driving with the preset Stage 1+ MHD tune on my 2011 *N55* 135i for about 2yrs & never had any engine code or misfire. I have all bolt ons with a stock downpipe & stock fuel pump. I bought the N55 specifically to avoid the reliability issues of the N54.

[@ProxyFoxOne]

Precisely why might abandon my dream of owning a 1M, it would have to stay stock. Might be better to just widebody the N55 135i and potentially full M3 donor S65 engine swap in the future.

[@gt197]

Epic vid Chris. Lots of British vehicles over there in Germany, and, you’re on the wrong side of the road 😉

[@riccardopeverelli7232]

Best video ever, super interesting to see proper ECU tuning

[@weyland1000]

My favourite build content is this 1M replica. Loved this video . Keep em coming mate 👍

[@dennis3753]

How about a 10 minute video of the full build...looks and sounds sick

[@Spidercribz]

Aww my boy 🥰 you made his day! Great video 😊

[@WhiteWaterVisuals]

I have a 2010 BMW 135i with a titanium charge pipe, tie on blow off valve, catless downpipes, oil catch can, MHD burble tune, and stage 2+ v10 base map from MHD. I have an xhp tune I still need to throw on there

[@josh5647]

Lovely car! Great work Chris, hopefully you can get to the bottom of the dreaded misfire!

[@ollietheboy7107]

I modified my b8 a4 and this is exactly what happened to me. Spend hundreds on part after part, chasing what I thought was a fix until I just accepted defeat and went back to stock. Some cars just won’t accept it and you’ll spend ££££ trying to diagnose what’s up

[@distortion_plus]

Stay strong mate! ❤

[@MartinPettitt-vn6wk]

Car sounds a lot better nice one Chris

[@mooNshader33]

@Chris Slix , also own a 135i N54 ,also had issue after issue but I stuck with it and now she runs like a beast. Dont give up , N54 is a gem

[@philipbawden954]

Pr racing coil pacs solved all my misfire issue went through 2 lots of coils and plugs in a year but absolutely love my e92 2007 335i 😊

[@olih.]

Great video! Cars are so frustrating but oh so worth it ❤

[@17t135i]

Nice build Chris, mines tuned with wedge and is am absolute beast, 100 to 200 6.29 on pump gas plus charge pipe meth, 25psi boost

[@ToefuClips]

Change the o2 sensors on downpipes. I had same issue and this resolved it. I think u got a code for it too.

[@nasseral-farsi9524]

If you have 4,5,6 cylinder misfire You definitely have a pad bank2 sensor1 O2 sensor

[@NocturnalRixx]

Epic video bro! Keep it up and don’t give up 😎 it’s all going to be worth it when you can properly enjoy it 🔥🔥

[@forevered4270]

Great video as always mate 👍

[@MrLawrence832]

Got to love the n54 life. Wonder how much power your going to get without PI :) nice one

[@lloydbisgrove1010]

Loads of content great video sounds so much better with the extra box can't wait to see this finally fault free and flying along the autobahn again 😂 It's so easy to throw the towel in when things get tough but fair play well stuck at 👍

[@benlomax7513]

That was a quality video. I do like the colour of that car. Hope you get to the bottom of that misfire too

[@mcharleymiller1291]

Dont get frustrated mate, its just letting u know what it needs. Lol, awesome content btw.

[@MiniWC50]

“It’s just letting you know what it needs”… not sure why I’ve never heard this but that’s a GREAT way to look at it!!

[@wagonman63]

I didnt realise the A46 was an autobahn? 😂 might have been quicker to just nip it down to mallory performance 😉

[@rustafwa8519]

Unlucky matee. Don't give up, love your videos

[@AdrianK881]

love the vids,keep it up

[@miroslavzima8856]

I had Simson S 51 Enduro. It was older and obviously with flaw from factory. It constantly stalled and refused to start. No mechanic nor friend found out why! I had him for one year, then bought Piagio scooter (which was flawless and very pleasant). My point is - I totally feel your frustration with this sort of problem 🙄

[@Thir7een]

I just changed the clutch in mine last week, it had a UUC paddle clutch that only lasted 12K, looked at the CG one but the price put me off seems far too cheap, so I went for a Sachs off a BMW 550i instead, couldn't be happier with it, also removed the Clutch Delay Valve at the same time & it's night & day now so I would advise doing this next time your underneath.

[@ethanmoore4457]

Literally watched this car park up next to mine the other day at desford didn’t realise it was Chris’s😂

[@friguy4444]

Yea I had wondered why on earth he was getting a shop to remove the DME to tune thew car when MHD and others are available for flashing tuning right from the phone. I last got a tune the old way way back in 2013. I also haven't understood why he doesn't seem to check the codes on the car before throwing parts at it? But maybe he's just not telling us when he's doing it?

[@Iron_Dave]

Sounds like your getting the full Bmw experience 👍👍 Does it have index 12 injectors? Older injectors plus carbon build up could cause afr issues? Manifold absolute pressure sensor maybe one to look at too. Good look 👍

[@projecteuroau]

100% the injectors

[@ElliottBrooks]

N54 life! I feel you on the pains of chasing a misfire. I'm down the same path on my channel. Just replaced injectors, spark plugs and coil packs - no luck! Next im trying PCV + Vanos clean, and also maybe a HPFP

[@Chris_Slix]

Is yours manual?

[@ElliottBrooks]

@@Chris_Slix nah I’m auto thankfully. No transmission issues here yet thankfully, but I’m also stock turbos. Misfires aren’t going to be trans related though. It’s all cylinder and compression. I would also check out Jake Spence channel, he did an injector bore fix lately that is another area to check. The other is compression test, can’t remember if you already did one on your channel.

[@Chris_Slix]

@@ElliottBrooks apparently the manuals have something to do with the flywheel that can cause a misfire (unsure how this works) but wedge managed to adjust the map for me to work round this which fixed it for me.

[@ElliottBrooks]

@@Chris_Slix I can understand how a tune would impact a misfire, but the trans seems like it doesn't logically make sense as I don't see the connection to ignition in the chamber. If it worked for you though, that's great!

[@Chris_Slix]

@@ElliottBrooks apparently its a common thing for the manual cars 🤷🏼‍♂️ doesn’t make logical sense in my head but im sure there is an explanation 😊

[@OliverReilly1]

Great video as always! This is usually how it goes for me, creating more problems as I try to improve 😂😂 I thought you sold this, or did I imagine that?

[@simoncoleman8905]

Well done Chris autobarn looked fun 😅😅.it’s was a bit different to normal but good still keep up the good work and great patience lol🙌🏻

[@hands197]

Loved the coil pack edit 🙃

[@sirleeofroy4732]

When you said clutch, I immediately thought of CGM as thats what I use in my 330d.... no more slipping for me!..... Also, dont these need uprated High Pressure Fuel Pumps when running higher power?

[@Chris_Slix]

Not on these cars so much the hpfp is very good although prone to faliure i think replacing with oem is the thing everyone does.

[@marraaman]

Do they have an A46 in Germany then Chris?😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍

[@Tom-se9em]

Amazing to see all the work that u put into this video🚀 beautifull car

[@chasemoore6057]

[@Becausefamilycar]

Love that car, it’s been an epic job but dam, dam, Shit happens when going extreme

[@WedgePerformance]

Hybrid turbo cars with dual mass will have misfire issues at 6000 due to the dual mass. We can get that sorted quickly.

[@10xguluva]

Get in Chris

[@peggyontherun39096]

great video Chris head up light at the end of the tunnel 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@petergordon7888]

Why didnt you get tune from mallory performance chris

[@mrhurricane0366]

replace all fuel injectors, had the same problem

[@mattjames8140]

Id be interested to know the cost of these tunes compared to getting it done properly on rolling road, like Malory performance? I understand best method is a proper tune rather than a mobile app or generic tune. Keep up the good content!

[@danielturner4574]

That's a real shame cris I feel your pain im having same problem but with a polo 9n3 pd130 mine gets to 80 and straight into limp mode I've tried absolutely everything 🤔

Do you have Index 12 injector ?? If not, it may be why you have a lambda error. Thats what u get when u have a leaky injector.

May have been better to get benji's discount evilgt99 with performance M at awesome and have them map and tune. It just seemed a lot of faf with that box and for me, didnt sell their product well when it all could have been done on rolling road and had the tools, parts and specialists on hand to resolve. Just my opinion Chris as i would have neither have the time or patience with that box thingy.
