My M135i daily pics and videos, and a few of my old cars I have pics of 2013 8sp Stage 2 JB4 decat M135i, about 385bhp Stage 2+ S3 8P Supercharged EP3
Nice set of cars there dude, I have bean out in one of the M135i unreal !!! The exhaust sounds megga, have you got any vids of a flight by ?
Some cool cars! My mate had a 135 coupe with a full Miltek exhaust, apparently the first and only one so far and software (he works for Revo) and was around 400hp, proper M3 killer!
With the 135is etc are the turbos ok at that? I heard the stock ones shit themselves as they are ceramic or something?
I drove the M135i at a BMW launch event, I was giggling like a child! IMO one of very, very few new cars i could would happy buy (…if i could afford one!)
Another rave from me regarding the M135i's! Very capable and quick car to drive and was pleasntly surprised when I drove one!
The engines have a fault with the HP fuel pump dont know if it has been rectified in the newer models
Thanks for the kind comments guys, it really is a great little car and a brilliant package for the money. Hoping to get some track time as soon as the weather picks up a bit. Hmmmm never heard of that before? Neither the N54 or N55 (135i and M135i) have ceramic turbos, the N54 was a twin turbo set up the N55 is a single turbo but has a twin inlet type affair with equal length manifold from differing exhaust ports. I think the N54 had a few issues regarding the HPFP, not sure if it's too early to tell with the M135i/N55 platform cars. Either way its warrantied!
Try a 1M if you ever get the chance, I was lucky enough to drive them back to back and theres a noticeable difference
+1 on the 1m one of the best cars i have drove in a very long time. it cant fail to put a big smile on your face.
Hah, thats exactly what I said after driving the 1M, I thought the M135 was definitely quick in a straight line, nice to see I was right I thought there was a lot more feedback from the 1M though, TBH the biggest plus for me is the way they hold their money. Problem is I cant afford a 1M
What I want to know is why the m 3,5,6 series are referred to as 'm'3,'m'5,'m'6. Where as most refer to the 1 series as a 1m, it's a m1 surely?
Same reason the old M535i wasn't an M5, because it wasn't the proper M version. That and there's already an M1 and it's sure as fuck no 1 series. The 'proper' M 1-series is the BMW 1M Coupe.
This, the original "M6" was actually an M635CSI but was definitely put together by the motorsport division, the engine was out of aforementioned M1. I nearly came in my pants when I saw this at LM VLN last year:
