Default 135

Hey guys, LONG time lurker(2+years) and I finally decided to join up and post a few pics. It's not a LS(or even domestic) but here it is anyway

2008 BMW 135i M sport. Current mods are Active Autowerkes catless downpipes, Burger Motor Sports intake, Extreme Turbo Systems FMIC, ER charge pipe, Synapse BOV, Aquamist HFS-3 meth injection, VMR CSL wheels, and Cobb engine management.

The car made 340whp/380wtq on the off the shelf Cobb stage 2+ map on a heartbreaker mustang dyno. Awaiting a dyno tune to make use of the meth, should put it closer to 400hp/420tq.










Here's a data log of the car during a 2nd-3rd gear pull on a less aggressive map. This map only targets 16psi in mid range and tapers to 12psi at redline and7 degrees of timing advance at red line where the map I run now targets 18psi in the mid range and tapers to 12psi at red line and 12 degrees at redline. I don't have pic of that log on my phone, sorry. The ECU used by the N54B30 is the most advanced in the world(and even allows all 6 cylinders to have individual timing monitoring and corrections.) Which is cool, but a headache for tuners to develop software to allow for custom dyno calibrations.

LOVE those cars, my buddy had the 1st gen ones in white with the red leather interior, navi, and the "M-package". That car was such a NICE daily/quick car.

Awesome car man!!

Love the 135 and 1 M, I wish they wouldn't have ended production on the 1 M so soon but still plan on buying one at some point.
