RARE *420BHP BMW 135i* IS A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH

[@n54twinz91]

0-60 in 5.1 in the wet with manual gearbox is a proper fast car

[@jamiefore398]

And it looks easy to drive, alot of these cars are high powered but struggle to put any power down unless on a Dyno or wearing full slicks. This car would destroy most cars on this channel because of the above

Would love to know the time on a dry road. These stock are around 5.2 secs so would be interesting with this one

[@M5tubee]

i got a 135i for 9 years i stopped half way through the vid to point out some facts.. 1.It is definitely lowered on springs 100% 2. the reason the backend is squirmy is because the subframe bushings in the back are the stock squirmy bushing that cause the entire rear subframe to shift like a rubber band effect M3 sub bushings fix this

[@mikebader3863]

100% lowered, couldn’t believe there was any doubt from owner.. if it’s H&R springs on stock dampers there’s another reason for the skittish handling, bad combination on these cars

[@callan179]

100% agree with you on the subframe bushings did powerflex bushings on my 1 series and I think that with the e92 m3 lower control arms were the best mods I ever did on it.

4:38 because Bmw are expensive to maintain, especially early twin turbo model ***n54 engine*** like this one. People who always bring their car to a mechanic get a real punch in the nuts when they are getting quotes like 1k for water pump/thermo, 2 to 3k for turbos, 1k+ for hpfp, injectors price 250$ each that you need to replace by 3 and endless other problems. Don't get me wrong I own one (2009 335i) and I love it, wouldn't change for anything else really. Like you said, Bmw refinement, 300bhp stock and 500+ just waiting at your fingertip.
