Building the baddest 135 on earth. (M3 Subframe & Brakes)

[@MikeBaloga]

I forgot how insanely good the 1M'er sounds my guy. Now it has the handling to match. Awesome work!

[@ThicWhips]

Thanks a ton!

[@jessef30eve]

@@ThicWhipscraziest 1M ever

[@nickadkins7765]

Mans really built a 6 figure 135i skreet car! And I must say....WORTH IT! You are the epitome of clean builds done RIGHT my friend

[@ThicWhips]

I appreciate that!

[@rmnepro]

Man this build is INSANEEEE! I’m happy for you & I’m glad that we got to be apart of the experience. Cool asf bro you’re goated ⚡️

[@ThicWhips]

Appreciate it!!

[@dedan2]

Jon, this car is going to be legendary. You CANNOT sell this build.. ever!

[@GGLiEx]

you have inspired me for my e82 125i build here in eu(128i in the states) Instead of an e92 m3 inopted for this project as building stuff fullfils you longer than just buying outright. Your videos show how awesome of a platform the e8x/9x chassis is and really got me started in the hobby. currently on the fence on going widebody. but sorting out the handling and mechanics atm. I have gone for 4-way adjustable st XTA plus coilovers. semi slicks from nankang. due to the lack of power i have gone for f2x mperformamce calipers with nx72+ pads and tarox slotted rotors with braided lines and race fluid.full m3 control arms in the front; on the rear i have only swapped the upper front link for M ones as it is bushed differently to the oe ones. Next will be a sway bar set from h&r and rear sibframe bushings and a lsd. for both of which i need a lift first 😅 the thing basically mecanically will be a NA 1M Got in way to deep but really enjoy it. Thanks for the motivation and keep up the amazing work

[@HeavyComponent]

So good! I have a 135i for about 5 years now and you got me in the process to 1M convert it. I’m going to do it the right way as well and slowly but surely will try to do your same setup here as much as I can with minor changes. Great video! Best 1er on YT IMO.

[@perco-c-e-t4377]

The quality of the video, install, and parts speaks volumes. You’ve got the most badass 135’s on the street bro.

[@ThicWhips]

Thanks bro

[@lindokuhlenxumalo7860]

your builds hit the spot every time

[@billybatts4061]

You have literally brought this car from the dead! Excited to see it with the new wheels, metal flares and Carbon roof! Super impressed with your attention to detail and all of your videos 🤙

[@jimengle6301]

I’m an Audi S4 owner but definitely appreciate all cars and you’ve done a great job 👍💪

[@jaimehurtado356]

This build is coming out so good

[@muji8715]

Cant believe it’s already been two years🤯love to see the progress💯‼️

[@Chancestfl]

Been following since the OG m2/supra days and so much of your tutorials/vid have helped me work on my m4. It has been great seeing you and the channel grow, I still think you should have a bigger following especially being one of the guys on youtube who actually does the work himself nowadays most others seem to outsource everything. The builds have been great as per usual, you're killing it man 🤟🏿 king of working on the whips in white shoes 😂

[@duhanemcgregor6596]

This whole 1m clone project is mechanical ART 🎨 at its finest big ups to you bredda 👊🏿💥💥💥

[@dedan2]

You are the definition of attention to detail. Definitely my fav BMW channel. all the way from the 328i to this. WOW

[@ThicWhips]

Appreciate that

[@veldmannn]

Absolutely love this build and the series on the 1er, it gaves so much more value because it’s build from scratch But if you want to make it handle even better, If not already on there, put some m3 arms on the front with millway street bushing in there and indeed a front sway bar. I think you found the perfect balance for the rear with bushings without going to hardcore

[@fulltimber]

S65 ! here we come ! Yay, finally

[@jibby2294]

love your videos man, been watching since your 328i days and you've really come a long way!

[@droque32]

Thoroughly, enjoying this build. Keep up the good work.

[@ThicWhips]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@HawkHand-c9b]

Maynnnn have I been waiting to see this thing!!!

[@bigash_n54]

This build is 🔥. This is motivation

[@midwestbmw1292]

I did all this 2-3yrs ago on my E92 335is. Trust me it changes the car completely. I’ve never been in a car that handles the road and communicates with me the way it does…and I’ve owned some pretty capable cars.

[@billybatts4061]

Amazing build! Loved the video. Love your attention to detail! Excellent job 👏 I'm sure the handling and ride are like night and day!

[@DerpyDerps_]

Man this thing is SICK! The complete motivation for me getting my 135i back in June! I’m loving the car so much & can’t wait to start doing my own build! Glad you love your build man! Has truly been a ride with this one! Much love! ❤️ Also I see you have a new rear seat delete, links? 👀

[@georgef1176]

Beautiful car. I’m building a ls3 t56 e46 hardtop convertible right now. My next car is a 135i. I love them. Yours is perfect.

[@davewallace9048]

Absolutely stunning build in every way!! Love it!

[@ThicWhips]

Thank you so much!!

[@homanmaster]

The perfect 1er build! ❤

[@originalRoyalty1]

Such a well thought out Build! Just Clean !

[@viruxsolutions5990]

it really doesnt get any better than this. really out did the 135i platform and set a standard.

[@Mr.Nobody.911]

Watched that twice.. Brilliant 🤩

[@190Erb26]

Favorite video so far👍🏻👍🏻

[@Zodiam.]

Next time you do hard lines and they are corroded like that, just bend the clips, then you can simply unwind the soft hose. But i also learned this hard way after snipping my long hard lines off, and they were not sold pre-bent in Europe, so i just ended up re-flaring my remaining brake lines, replacing the snipped section with cupronickel lines.

[@Jbpgarage]

Great job, love the build!

[@loekfelten548]

One of your best features 💪🏻👍🏼

[@G87boyz]

There’s levels to this

[@kennethbyington516]

I love everything you're doing. And no matter what u do, It's your car, your build, your dream. No one else's to trash talk etc. Anyone doesn't like something, Oh well, Don't talk smack go build ur own. Anyway, I have a question. So did you realize how much bigger those studs would have been?!? Like how long they are?!?!?!

[@Sublim3side]

Good stuff man. Great build.

[@jaef304]

This is crazy. Congrats bro🔥🔥🔥

Do the Hotchkis front sway!!

[@davidvalentino4798]

Cool build. I thought you had to torque control arms under the weight of the car so they don't bind.

[@ThicWhips]

They are tight not torqued. I still have to drive to the alignment shop.

[@solsykness]

T51R mod sounds dope but it also seems like it would get annoying after awhile. Lol.

[@slow_s1000]

another amazing video btw i just picked up a 2012 135i w/o engine and trans i could find anything on it do you know how hard it would be to put n54 in it or would the n55 just be easier?

[@pierre4046]

I have an E90 335i 6MT LCI. Currently, the front dust shields don't fit onto the e9x spindle. Is there a solution to fit the f80 m3 dust shields that don't require purchasing f8x spindles? If so, I haven't found a solution online.

[@Drivenbyant]

Just speechless 😩😍

[@E36M3.2]

stunning Build respect for that👌🏼 check out the new Maxton Rear Wing, could be something for you. greetings from switzerland

[@BMW1M]

I haven’t been following this build for a while - did you do the steering rack yet?

[@ThicWhips]

Not yet

[@BMW1M]

@@ThicWhips given how much you liked the M3 rear end and the Ohlins, I reckon the steering rack will blow your mind…

Gotta get some silver wheels back on this bad boy

[@twilliamstile1]

Thats crazy you got the same wheels as me to

[@paulj.8652]

Besides the bushings is there any difference in just the subframe on its own?

[@sirlaxalotNJ]

Thanks be to God

[@lucian_7588]

I see the Powerflex shifter bushing there, you didnt comment on it. How does it feel and are you considering putting it on the E92?

[@ThicWhips]

It’s very nice, I definitely should have mentioned it more. I mention it in the follow up video I posted. Definitely going to be running that in my m3. Stiffens and directs the shifter quite a bit, much better feel

[@蔣文傑-k9y]

Do I need to purchase the shock absorber specifically for M3 or do I need to customize it?

[@蔣文傑-k9y]

Because I also plan to modify my E92 335 like this

not torquing those bushings at ride height?

Yes, torquing at ride height when I’m on an alignment rack. Bushings are just tight right now, so I can drive to the alignment shop

[@jmccarsnmore1025]

I thought this car was getting the carbon roof and 1M OEM rear panels. I guess not!! More to follow!!

[@coenwag]

Amazing build! I just don’t get it why you fit shitty EBC Red pads man… they are garbage, you will bake them the first street session.. I have Endless MX87 on my BMW, they are amazing, temp range 32-398 farenheit, no squeal, disc friendly. They are the golden standard! Cheers!

[@ThicWhips]

They are street pads brother, and they are perfect for that application. Good enough bite, low dust. I have G-Loc pads for track. Ebc are not track pads

[@gonzalobugallosouto6465]

The hole subframe and diff is plug and play on the 135i? Or the drive shaft is different?
