The miami dealership called to give me the VIN number of my 135i. My car will be on the boat with a few other comrades of mine. The ship is scheduled to come into port on March 3rd!!! My Alpine White will look like this one minus the wheels. Oh yeah and mine will have a sunroof since all U.S. bound 135i's have them.

My only mods will be:

DINAN ECU reflash(384hp,421lb tq)
Eibach Prokit Springs

 

its a great looking car, i love small cars... but im very interested on how it handles.

 

Nice Barry! Can't wait to see it! That means you would actually have to join us at a meet you know.

 

better let me drive it! congrats barry

 

"A stock 335i sedan would beat an E46 M3 in every measurable way"- click here if you dont believe me. A 135i is 198lbs lighter with the same engine that is not detuned. I'm expecting a slalom time of at least 70mph. And thats a car without an LSD. BMW intentionally dialed in a lot of understeer at the limit to cover their own ass. They dont really see the car as a sports car. Just an absurdly fast luxo GT. One would have to purchase a stronger anti roll bar and springs if they have such intentions as yours..lol Or just keep the Saturn for the track.

My sources says a performance version is coming which will get a power bump and be lighter. Part of me wants to wait for that..I've been waiting for 2years already.

 

Thanks Sin!! I was gonna come out after class this week but Daytoner is too far. I 'd never make it in time. Next weeek is must! I haven't seen the crew in 3 MONTHS!!

Thanks to u too Steve...ur not gonna like this but BMW is contemplating giving the Elise fighter the green light. Might be called a Z1 or Z2

 

Way to go! Very nice looking car!

 

Gods speed to the ship carrying your car over! Congratulations!

 

well thats my point is im wondering how much understeer they dialed in, how stiff the chassis is and such.

 

Indeed, "it's all about the a$$" because the a$$ end of that car looks like a$$. And this is coming from a new E46 owner. Sorry man, I just can't get into it.
