Default BMW 135i

I drive these things almost everyday at work...they are small and quick, they take off out of the hole HARD. So just wondering has anyone here had any experience racing one in their ls1? curious how they would do against eachother..im sure the fbody would pull on the top end but at the lower speeds I think it would make a fun race.

before the stall i was neck and neck with one out of the hole (one of those unplanned races where you floor it when you realize its on). towards the top of 2nd, i was starting to creep by when they let off. wasn't a planned race and before that i had no idea those things were that quick. i thought they were some entry level economy beemer like the 318 or something.

I know of one that I played with when I had gears and stall, with street tires I spun and by that point the 135i had me. Let's ask Morethanquikstang how they like their 135i lol.

135 is white and the 335 from camarillo that used to race (mid 11's) was black. The 335 has been de-modded and returned to DD status.

the N54/N55 is a mean lil TT I6 by BMW. Those things are redonkulous for what they are. Infact, the 335i WAS going to be the M3, but BMW wanted to keep the M3 N/A. The 335i and 135i share the same power plant. Some one was able to squeeze 500hp out of one with upgraded turbos

Is this the same motor BMW is getting sued over? Overboost and something else if I'm not mistaken.

I know there is a lawsuit and recall for the fuel pumps, but I'm not too informed on the overboost thing yet.
