Visited a tuner here in the USA yesterday that are building a large (70mm) turbo conversion on a n55. Looks amazing :drool: they are also building a 700+ whp m6 turbo.

Seems someone has already been fiddling with the M135i and with decent results too...

In the Harris vid he reckons 0-100mph is under 11 seconds and that "tuned" one above does 0-160kph in about 11 seconds. Seems like money for nothing to me...

Huh?

I clock it around 10 tops, considering Harris was in the 8sp auto and this one is losing extra time to manual shifts - I don't think that's too bad.

Look at the 1/4 mile leader board, power doesn't buy you a big drop in time.

Exactly.. Just look at the difference between DSG and manual times when tested over 0-60, 0-100 and 1/4 mile.

A respectable 6th place for the M135i in Evo Car of the Year :notworthy:

I've opened the batting with a couple of dealers. Let the fun begin.

You can down load the mag to your ipad. You dont have to go bartering with WH Smiths and Menzies.  :innocent:

I has Menzies once, it was a bitch to shift. Nowhere near as bad as Taco Bell though.
