Quick intro:
- Manual Trans Engineer for one of the big 3
- Built a ton of forced induction motors ranging from race engines to street beasts, even a 600whp Mazdaspeed3.
- Bought 135i with intentions to make it into track car, quickly realized how much money it would cost to maintain and track....listed it here and got an AP1 w/75k on it. I just wanted one with a roll bar but I ended up with a very well sorted car....got 32 mpg driving 80 mph on the way back home so the motor must be in great shape!

It's simple and to the point. I will probably throw a larger front sway bar at it so I don't play spin-a-rama at my first track day. It's going to be a long winter!
If you plan on driving the car in cold weather, be careful with those tires.
Nah I have a Mazdaspeed6 with snow tires for the winter. The S2K wont come out until it hits 50F and all the salt is clear!
Just order a head unit and all the goodies to get it set for bluetooth goodness...and getting my friend to make me a couple shift knobs (sphere and dessert eagle both heavy made out of SS). BTW shameless plug: Maisonvi Shift Knobs.
He can make pretty much anything and is very, very reasonable. Tons of people from Mazdaspeed use him. He has made me knobs for every MT car I've owned.
Very nice. I track a bolt-on 135i with aero. We track on low-boost and it has been a very fast and reliable car. Running costs have been low. Open diff kills it though, and it kills rear tires too.
S2ki has far better turn-in and is a lot more nimble, but it doesn't have that torque

I did a bunch of maintenance when I got the car and it just didn't seem like it was going to stop (getting close to the mileage for potentially the turbos, injectors were index 5, etc) I had a MFactory LSD ready to throw in and decided to get rid of the car before I dumped a bunch of money into it all to get it ready. When a valve cover gasket takes you 4 hours you know your car is hard to work on LOL.
It was a fantastic car, but for an amateur like me I'd rather have a Honda....I used to work for them as a co-op and basically did nothing but wrench on and do valve adjustments for emissions tests. Just a comfort factor thing for me.
BTW if you need any 135i aftermarket parts I got a whole pile I'm going to be selling off. PM me for a list. It will all be posted on 1addicts.
Is that a TTR sticker? Twerk Team Racing? Are you in the midwest?
That was the last owners vinyl; it was too cold to take it off at the time. I live in Waterford, MI so yeah midwest. I'll be out at Gingerman, Waterford Hills, Gretten, and Mid-ohio a bunch.
