Jake's Epic BMW 135i Build Thread! (5+ Years of Ownership)

That looks fun! Was that E36 N54 swapped?
No, it wasn't. Not sure of the exact setup.

I'm glad you had fun! It looks like some pretty serious hardware out there. Did you run a timer at all? So what do you like more, air field races or track driving?

I did not run a timer, but wish I did. Oh well, next time.
Track driving requires a lot more concentration. It's fun, but also exhausting. I think straight line racing is more fun, in a relaxing way. Track driving is more serious, but enjoyable. Can't go wrong with either.
The one and only time I drove on a track was within my top 3 fun experiences in life (well you dont have a very fun life then, yeah i know) .
Thanks for sharing the pics and glad it was a good time for you guys with no walls or mechanical snafus
Get back on a track soon! Even auto-x...
Happy to share with my fellow WIBimmer fanatics. Hope to see some of you guys this year.

Well good for you! I'm glad you had this opportunity! I'm eager to see the track video.

Damn. That must have been a blast. Anxiously waiting to see video coverage!

I finally strapped my 135i onto the dyno this weekend and am thrilled with the results. I can't find a higher published power output from a Precision 6266 on an N54! Now I need to put my Draggy to use so I can see how fast it really is...
I did a handful of pulls at various power levels and attached the logs below. This should give everyone a good idea of what a properly set-up 6266 can do from low boost to high boost on an N54.
All pulls done in 4th gear (manual transmission). DynoJet with STD correction.

Watch the video above for speedo & exhaust angles... plus lots of awesome turbo noises. I also explain a lot of stuff as I'm dynoing the car.
Let me know what you think!

hot damn

Thanks guys! I'm very happy/impressed with the car.
Power numbers are pretty tasty.
Whats the plan for putting the power to the pavement now?
I have some 275 Federal 595RSRR to try on my current wheels. The MPSS I have currently are actually really good at holding the power for a street tire.
I'll be getting a set of 17" wheels to put an Mickey Thompson ET Street tire on.

Nice job! Plans for an LSD anytime?

I just ordered some cheap 17" wheels and a pair of Mickey Thompson ET Street R tires on eBay to take full advantage of their 20% sitewide sale today.
LSD is next
-
The Mickey T's should help a bit I would hope.

Had a bit of an issue with the cheap eBay wheels, so @Tkuhn sold me a pair of rear Style 68 wheels from an E46. My girlfriend wouldn't let me steal some from her car. They're one of the only available wheels that have a high enough offset with some decent width. I'd still like a 9.5" wheel instead of these 8.5", but they'll work. The MT radials are on and it's a very tight fit.
Any opinions on color? I am going to clean them up and spraybomb them tonight. Silver, gray, black or red?
