Thanks for watching. I have had a lot of fun tuning my cars over the years and it’s a joy to be able to share my passion

Thanks a lot. Seeing your 135i kicking ass in 2016 was one of the reasons why I bought mine!

Thanks a lot

Thanks man. Good meeting you too! I'm looking forward to the next Euroklasse event

Comments like that make my effort worthwhile. Thanks a lot!

Thanks! This is only the beginning. There's far more to come!!

Thanks for your comment. The 135i is in definite need of an LSD. Traction is definitely a problem..

How much do those run, installed Will?

Thanks a lot for your comments. This was actually the first review I ever made and my first time on camera. Incremental improvements are being made all the time ..

You will have a lot of fun in the little hooligan car. These cars are getting older, so do plenty of research before buying. Reliability isn’t great, meticulous maintenance is essential and repairs can be very costly, if the car hasn’t been maintained properly.The N55 is more reliable but the N54 is slightly more responsive to tuning

@@TheSpeedAddiction amazing! Thank you so much for the advice. I’ve also been looking for a manual car as I believe that driving experience would be spot on for me. But would you say the DCT is a worthy option? I’m wondering whether I’ll be able to find a lower mile manual transmission car these days 🤔

Thanks! Check out my M2 review!!

Thanks man, there’s more to come 👍🏾

Thanks!!

You're welcome. Check out my latest video!

Springs and dampers will be a great next mod. I would add camber plates at the same time. Dinan fixed camber plates are a good option.

The Speed Addiction by e90 upgrades did you mean the US e92 chassis?

The M3 E90 (sedan), M3 E92 (coupe) and M3 E93 (convertible) suspension components can be fitted to the E90,92,93 non-M cars - along with the 1 series. I believe the M3 sedan and coupe suspension components are identical but the M3 convertible has a thicker front sway bar. Hope this makes sense 😊

The Speed Addiction thank you bc I wanted to do M3 upgrades to my 1 series any reccomendations! Love the video and energy!

In my opinion, springs and dampers should be changed first - lots of options depending on if you want a street or track set up. There's a ton of info on 1addicts.com. Then get the M3 front sway bar.

These N54s are feisty with some ethanol, downpipes and a tune 😎

The information also applies to the E9X 335i because their chassis are almost identical. The 3 series is a couple of inches longer, so the 3 series is a little more stable out of the box.

Thanks!

You bet! Thanks for watching!

More to come brother!

Thanks!

Thank you 🙏🏾

Thanks 👍🏾

Thanks for watching 🙌🏾

Congratulations on the purchase of your amazing car. If it’s lively at the rear, unless you are referring to damp roads, I would assume that it has been chipped because the 265 rear tires, providing they’re in good condition, should be easily able to contain the stock power level. I personally wouldn’t tune the engine any further because it’s a collector’s item, I would focus in keeping it perfectly maintained and enjoy the exciting driving dynamics. I would upgrade the charge pipe because the standard one is crap but you only need to upgrade the PCV valve at over 500bhp.

@@TheSpeedAddiction Thanks for your input on that. It actually is running 275 tyres on rear. It feels about stock to me but hard to tell. My previous car was an EVO 8 tuned to 380bhp which was slightly more punchy, but not by much. Yes, the traction control light always flickering if you get on power a bit too soon, but maybe its the not so smooth roads here in UK, that makes it feel twitchy. Regarding the pcv valve, I already purchased an aluminium one to swap out as I've heard it does help the crankcase breath better, even at stock power, so as I'm there changing plugs, thought it worth doing. With the Charge pipe, I didn't fancy going with a BOV, was contemplating upgrading the Diverter Valves to maybe Forge ones, as have heard the stock Diverter Valves can leak a bit.

Thanks

Check out my other videos 👍🏾

🤣 Scotty Kilmer? It’s not my intention.. Appreciate the sub 👍🏾

@@TheSpeedAddiction Just the mannerisms.

Me too!

My newer videos are even better..

All N54 (2008-2010) 135s have the same suspension. The M Sport trim is really cosmetic, nicer steering wheel and door sills. Your upgrades are solid, very similar to my old car. Are you going to upgrade your turbos?

@@TheSpeedAddiction Don't forget about the M Sport seats the huge side bolters & the pull out leg extensions. But maybe my car is a screamer & I've had 700 h.p. blown mustangs. This car is fast. We'll see what the future holds. But im going to pro meth 6 injector the plenum & see where im at. Hows your car doing brother...?👍🏻🏁

@@TheSpeedAddiction I'll be making a video within the next few months...👍🏻

I sold my 135i. I now have a M240i. I do miss the rawness of the E82 but I’m very impressed with my new car

@@TheSpeedAddiction I wouldn't get rid of my 09 135i for anything! Just to perfect & it screws!!!...👍🏻🏁

A stage 2+ N54 (downpipes and intercooler) will beat a stock M340i and give a W204 C63 a good race. I’m not sure about a W205 C63s. The N55 is significantly more reliable but doesn’t respond as well to simple bolt ons

​@@TheSpeedAddictionThank you man for the feedback, now I have time to figure out which one I want hahaha

Yes, it was an experimental filming technique :-)

Yes, although it’s a significant job to install the rear subframe bushes because the rear subframe needs to be dropped

@@matthewspringer3305 Understood. Would the OEM M3 bushes be the recommendation or are aftermarket poly upgrades just as suitable for solving this issue?

kneecaps2000 OEM M3 bushes are fine for street driving, but the aftermarket options are equally as good and possibly better. Whatever you do, don’t get the inserts because they don’t eliminate all the subframe movement.

@@matthewspringer3305 Would something like this from ECS be suitable? www.ecstuning.com/b-ecs-parts/e8x-e9x-e82-e90-e92-complete-polyurethane-performance-differential-bushing-set/026709ecs09~akt/

Thanks for watching 👍🏾

@@TheSpeedAddiction I just got mine today!

Enjoy 🙌🏾

@@TheSpeedAddiction thanks brother💯

I think I did very well for the first video ever made..

San Diego, California

The car has a Burger Motorsports transmission cooler and the XHP Stage 3 tune

BMW 135i N54 Pure Turbos Pure600 Build kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jsBzlbSW2r2bhpc.html

I just put everything in the video description 👍🏾

😂 California is like England but with better weather, Mexican food and no speed cameras..

Appreciated mate 👊🏾

Yes, I have experienced all of the typical failures; HPFP, leaky injectors, spun rod bearings, valve cover gasket failure, etc, etc..

Wait until you hear it spool with Pure Turbos 😁

There’s more 135i content coming soon..

Chingford

@@TheSpeedAddiction sweet mate look forward to next videos

Me too so your well adverse with the A10 lot

Going faster is more fun.dct is the way.Coming from someone who used to have an automatic 1 series and now have a manual 1.

I'm having plenty of fun in my auto but yes, a manual would be more interactive.

The N54 has some common external component failures such as the high pressure fuel pump, injectors, turbo wastegates and water pump. Once these issues are fixed, it’s reliable. I recommend the N55 (2011-2013) powered cars for reliability, they’re much more reliable but don’t make as much power as the N54 when tuned

Swift Spec R

@@TheSpeedAddiction Do you like it?? i have cheap canada made Coilovers, and maybe i,ll swap them for this setup

The car handles great but I find the Swifts a little stiff to be honest..

If I had the budget, I'd go for the KW v2 or v3.

Yes. I own a M240i now.

I might have purchased it 👍🏻☺️

Enjoy

Haha. Where do you live?

You damn right! 😁
