Default 2009 BMW 135i vs 2002 WS6 *VIDS*

The 135i is a 6-speed and its bone stock. The WS6 is a A4 and its stock except for a cutout. I was the only passenger in each race

That TT 3.0 I6 is no joke, especially when tuned. Good thing a stock LS1 is rare.

That 135 is a cool little car. Good runs and thanks for the daytime vids.

I would have thought the BMW would pull top end.

Nice daytime race!

The 135i is quick! It feels like it has a lot of torque.

IMO the best part about the OP's post is that it shows how big a difference a passenger makes: shifting 175-200lbs from one car to the other really affects the outcome when its as close as those two cars are.

Great runs. I haven't been a fan of the looks of that car but I know performance-wise they move out, especially once people start throwing a little extra cash at them. It looked good in that video, though.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Right after watching the first race, I was thinking to myself, "Now watch the WS6 pull away when they switch the passenger" and sure enough, off he went. Like I've always said, an average 175 pound passenger will make a solid 1 car difference from a 50-60 roll up to 110-120. If you go higher than that or start lower than that, the passenger will typically make an even bigger difference. A heavier passenger will also make a bigger difference.

It's always good to even it out if possible, or switch the passenger after a race to see how it goes down with them in the other car.

Great races! Everytime I tell someone around here that I love the 135's they laugh at me. I bet they are fun as hell to drive!

good vids
Was it the 2.73 gear auto?- they got good topend.

The n54 really wakes up when you give it 12+ psi of boost

Nice runs, that N54 is no joke. My good friend has a E92 335i with a JB Tune and it makes some serious power and excellent torque for a TT motor.

SSmokin99 is more than your "average" passenger https://ls1tech.com/forums/13241184-post39.html
It does show the difference weight can play though.
