sounds good moff, quite fancy one of these to replace my 325ci next year, though the 3l z4coupe might get the nod as they seem to be shedding value even faster.

I have a friend with a remapped 335i and he fitted an LSD, maybe you can do the same. It made a massive difference.

Not sure how he LSD will react with the eLSD tha the car currently has.

As standard the eLSD is switched off until you fully disable the DSC / Traction Control - then it comes on, it's meant for the track.

I would prefer a 'real' LSD, but not sure I could justify the cost when the car will be 99% driven on the road.

I have a friend with a remapped 135i free flow cat and exhaust. The car is amazing. Super fast. He claims 360 whp

I personally filmed a drag race agains a vortech SC S2000 with the 10psi pulley from 2nd gear rolling. The s2000 just manage to beat the BMW. Enjoy

SC S2000 vs BMW

SC S2000 vs bmw 135

Not the best quality from a mobile phone but at least you can see something

How heavily depreciating is the 135 in todays market? I imagine your 29k has taken a bit of a pummeling.
