PDT Dave has his 135i up to ariound 380bhp, with only a stage 1 map and a set of downpipes

If you go down the 135i route, make sure you get some better security.
quite worrying how easily they can be stolen.

You just shift the OBD port, 15 minute job. Might cost you a new window if you're unlucky enough to have someone try, but they're not taking the car.

BOT Very impressive figures and delivery, still quite a narrow power band, but I guess you have to work with what you've got and keep it reliable.

My old car at stage 2+ on 99 ron v's the Loba with WMI.

It is the spool that impresses the hell out of me.

Going to enjoy the Cupra well set up on the ko4 for what it is, wait till Harry's a bit older and buy a car that only 'needs' a stage 1map and decent tyres

Yea, what ever mate

It goes a bit like that mate, then you have a look around realise there is nothing better for the money and bang your back in the game.

Also with 7149 posts if you stayed off of here for more than two minutes you might not get bored

PDT Dave has his 135i up to ariound 380bhp, with only a stage 1 map and a set of downpipes

My 135i now has 400+ and probably 430+ by the end of this week. Stg1 on stock engine will see 370hp.

Mods for this are:

£300 downpipes
£500 stg2 map.

I also have bilsteins and quaife LSD, stock brakes ate brembo 6pot and I have Pagid RS29 pads. main thing with this engine (N54) is that they have steel crank, rods, forged pistons, solid 1 piece valves etc.... So very very solid base. Later N55 engine is not as well built, hence BMW using the N54 for the 1m.

The torque at stg2 is immense, over 350ftlb from 1800-6300rpm and a peak of over 400ftlb. I keep wanting to buy an E92 M3 but the 135i literally destroys them for straight line speed.

These transform the 135i... To a m3 eater

We feel 500 could be made maybe beaten, judging from partners feedback

Guys ive always had a soft spot for a 135i your really really not helping
