Ripping Around My BEAST of a 135i after a complete Subframe Swap.

[@NasrorguigeNasrorguige]

Best build I'm ever seen . Subscriber from Algeria 🇩🇿

[@ForceFed]

As a 135i owner, I can confirm it has a face only it's mother could love. The bug eye headlights don't really do it any favors. That's why the LCI headlights are a must as it changes the facial expression from surprised Pikachu face to slightly less surprised Pikachu face. 🤣

[@ISLAMICSTORIES13]

the 135i e82 front looks great to me. the pre lci 128i with the non M sport looking bumper is hella ugly. the lci 128i non-msport has the fog lights and looks a bit better but also pretty wack. but the 135i always has the msport style on both prelci and lci and looks great to me. its not as good as the real 1m bumper but it looks good. overall the e82 and e9x are very very good looking to be designed in 07 IMO they were ahead of their time.

[@johnmann7o2]

1m style front fixes that issue with bayoptiks

[@ForceFed]

@@johnmann7o2 That's a lot of money to spend.

I bought a used 2008 6spd 135 back in 2009 and still have it to this day. Around the ignition it says "Year One of the One"! I replaced the water pump, headlights, and window regulators on both sides. Other than that, I've had no issues. It's been such a nice and stable car. My only mods are BMS DPs and the JB4. As a matter of fact, I've been using JB4 map 2 since something like 2015 and everything is still fairly smooth! I'm seriously thinking about buying a new M2. I think its time to move on...

[@JohnSdigi]

Another driveshaft option is YFCM. They have a carbon shaft for the E92 M3 that the forums rave about, but they also make a 1M version and can do custom. I tried the F8x carbon as well, but I’m DCT which is a even shorter shaft, wasn’t even close 😂. 100% agree on the dramatic change the rear makes to this car. Just did almost all the same parts as you, but went purple Powerflex on diff bushings instead of black. Loving how solid the car feels 🔥🍻

[@roma_g20]

Bro its acc cool seeing someone on youtube drive around the exact same streets im on every day😂

[@ThicWhips]

💪💪

[@convella]

How big is the difference between the 335i and M3 rear end suspension? Thinking about doing a subframe swap like you

[@convella]

I’m assuming it would be just as big of a change as your 1er since it’s open diff to lsd

[@justswaves]

@@convellasame swap tbh

[@bigash_n54]

Massive, an lsd is a game charger.

[@JohnSdigi]

It’s the same effective swap as the 135i/335i share almost everything.

[@icebruner]

Congrats bro‼️🤙🏾

[@tjackman]

If I owned this car and I was going to repaint it, I would be so torn between sakhir orange and hockenheim silver with some black accent parts. The wheel choice is tough though, I'd probably stick with a factory BMW rim, maybe e90 m3 comp rims but that might be too tame. I am hyped to see what you do with it though!

[@Syed.E90M3]

If you haven’t already, I’d recommend coding out the E-LSD from the DSC module

[@dedan2]

What does that do?

[@JohnSdigi]

@@dedan2turns off the electronic fake lsd that’s no longer needed. Stock it activates the brakes to simulate diff lock. But with a real LSD this causes the car to drive confused.

[@SpeedThrillsTV-se1lf]

Your 1er videos make me wanna spend more money on my 135i

[@jmsterdam]

John, you live in NC right? How is it going over there after Helene?

[@ThicWhips]

Luckily in charlotte, we weren’t hit so bad. But an hour north is completely wiped out. Asheville is in a real bad spot right now. Thousands stuck without power, few resources, it’s not good. Getting worse. And the media is hardly talking about it.

[@jmsterdam]

@@ThicWhipsIndeed nothing in the news about it here in Holland. Good to hear you are ok and best wishes to the people nearby!

[@Ace-su3ef]

Been following some of your videos, awesome car. Plan on buying one a few years from now due to the heavy p plate restrictions here in Australia. Was wondering what base model this car is (year aswell as all the other m and sport stuff I've found whole looking) as I also plan on building this car up in a similar way

[@naito_nate]

@11:22 min "HAWK TUAHHHH" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@JCod306]

Glad to hear the honesty about the o’l e39! 😂💯

[@ThicWhips]

Hey I still love it! Sometimes you just want a bit more hp to get around 😂

[@JCod306]

@@ThicWhips haha I totally get it! I just think it’s nice that you mentioned it that way if someone was debating if they wanted to do something similar you might have brought some things in to perspective for them! 💯 That’s good shit fam! 🤜🏼

[@ArticulateArena]

Idk dude. I get nonstop complements on my 128i lolol Its lowerred with 22 and blacked out trim but stock and they act like I have 600 hp m2 competition

[@Wolff36]

This thing must be an absolute eyecatcher ripping by. 🦍

[@in54ne82]

Are you running the e9x m3 brake master cylinder? I'm using the same brakes with ds2500 pads and love the setup.

[@ThicWhips]

No but I plan on upgrading the master as well

[@2052lt]

Did you code something with Protools about the new rear diff ??

[@HawkHand-c9b]

I can’t wait to do a build just like this one day😂😂😂🤙🔥🔥

[@aombarbor]

Is the colour gonna be Orange valencia?

[@mau.5]

Hey, totally random. I saw your Koch Chemie Gs review on Amazon and would like to know what is the little cap you put on the Gs bottle to get the 40ml for the water mix? Thanks in advance!

[@ThicWhips]

It’s called a dosing cap!

[@mau.5]

@@ThicWhips Thank you! 😊

[@yousefzahra8325]

How much for the style 6s 👀

[@tj5285]

I would love to get my hands on a e30 and build it. One day 🙏

[@tedore]

What does the e brake or brake line rub sound like? I have a scratchy sound coming from the center tunnel that sounds like it’s right under the shifter

[@ParthPatel-rw5rb]

That would be the sound

[@tedore]

@@ParthPatel-rw5rb ​​⁠damm really? I have been chasing that sound forever!

[@ParthPatel-rw5rb]

@@tedore What I ended up doing was just using zip ties, this was a fix on my f30 340. Been a year and no issues yet.

[@777._.x77]

you should paint this car fire orange II. it looks very good on a 1 series.

[@jessef30eve]

11:10😂😂😂 “whole ass new car “love what the car has come to, mad respect for f80 brakes, nothing bmw compares🛞

[@Just_Drivers_Cars]

You now have the same dilemma - not enough covered parking at home for all the cars. You know what’s next… car storage man cave. Start the search. Manifest!

[@ThicWhips]

I’m on it

[@spacemonkey7461]

I love this build so much, everything is perfect except the thing you added to the turbo for the higher pitch whine and whistle is sooooo annoying. You mentioned you might remove , i hope you do. Haha

[@BryanTrejoGR]

Wrap soon??

[@forty-glocc]

how do u even get the car in that unit lol it looks like a tiny opening n then the corner with more unit across from u doesn't give much room

[@ThicWhips]

Small car!

[@HawkHand-c9b]

Yooo what😂😂😂color change on the 1er? Since when 😂😂

[@rmnepro]

🔥🔥🔥

[@gewdies]

you need 2 sets of ramps for that unit lol

[@angeloquezada2798]

Thought you meant real figure eights and donuts 😂

[@user-gl5ld9vm7i]

Did you remove the tint?

[@ThicWhips]

i never had tint

[@slow_s1000]

well the 135i calipers are better than the f8x calipers but with the f8x rotors have a bigger brake surface than the 135i what people don't understand is the amount of pistons your calipers have isnt everything lol

[@ThicWhips]

Correct. Pistons are 6 on 135 and 4 on f8x which is completely irrelevant when it comes to braking surface.

[@SDE90]

FROZEN Valencia Orange would be god-tier

[@HawkHand-c9b]

Go to harbor Freight 😂😂they got full ass car canopy kits for like 300$

do you have a link for inner door handle mine has melted away 😭 @justswaves
