335i the next tuners dream?
 

Maybe for 28 year old lawyers

it will certainly inspire a cache of fuckstick morons showing up at the race track who insist the car makes the lap time...not the corporate, cubicle-ista, Starbauck's dependent $30k-millionaire leasing it.

It should inspire a tremendous amount of shit-talking too.

Not quite sure why you'd ever want two turbos on any gas engine...

I'm looking forward to the 135i reviews.

the 135 is going to upset many people. There is just something about a really fast econo car that gets 30+MPG, and can smoke the average mustang. Comfortably.

Were you being sarcastic, or do you just not like the idea of 300lb-ft of torque from 1300-5000 RPM? :bigtu:

I think they said it has "dual vain" turbo, not dual turbos.

No it is a twin turbo engine.

To piggyback on the above post.

The fat guy said,"A PAIR of dual vane turbos". A pair is two.

Next tuner's dream? I'm betting Dinan already has stuff for it and whatever other BMW tuners there are.

can you see his avatar?
the 135i is gonna be the tits.:bowdown:

Well vishnu has already gotten their hands on it and have a 380-400hp package. And even though it will be driven by asshole lawyers, it still damn quick stock, 13.7 quarter.

Oh and like everyone has been saying, a 135i will most certainly be huge tits.

No, I have avatars turned off...I know TurboTim built a twin-turbo engine, though, hence my comment (and hence his ;) ).

The 1-series is going to rewrite the book on "tuner" (I'm not a ricer ------) cars. Hopefully it will not inspire a bunch of other high powered rwd cars...I don't want to have the slowest car at the track even with my turbo build. Atleast...I don't want to drive the car hard if I could just parade around the track and pass around people..

:)

The 335 is already big in the NOVA area. The teckademis crew have started buying them (see Teckademics if you dont know) and I plan personally on buying a 135.

I want a 135i hatch w/lsd. Now that would be an awesome DD.

Pick up a used one in a few years after I graduate.

The 335 is a nice car. My grandfather (not an asshole lawyer, worked for a power company his whole life) recently purchased one and it is a very nice ride. I only got to drive it for a few miles and never got to floor it since the engine only had about 30 miles on it at that point. +1 on the 135i. That is gonna be one hell of a deal a few years down the road when used ones are on the market.

Fixed.

So I'm seeing an excuse to upgrade?

so has active autowerke, etc:

$1200 for another 80hp. there IS no point buying / modding any other (new) car as far as '07 is concerned. this owns you. owns the old M3 at nurburgring. almost matching new M3 in HP and trumps it in tq. with the folding hardtop, E92 is the next big monster.

now i just gotta convince the fiance to go sit in a red convertible and i'll be selling every junker i own, down to the SV650.

i'm not a lawyer. no point to bash people who make money. that's just unncessary car hate. there are better mechanics/racer car drivers/autocrossers who ARE lawyers. And there are also plenty of as*hole in <insert any profession here>.

Did anyone notice that the blow off valve was 750 dollars? Granted it comes with a small pipe section, but wow.

i know which one your talking it's a white one with teckademics on the back window.. it belongs to a friend of mine but i rather have my 90 turbo miata :bigtu:

we had this convo like 2 months ago. Thanks for bringing it back up.

135 for the win. Smaller, lighter, same twin turbo engine. Gonna be amazing at the track. Add another 80HP, Yah baby. It's already got a bunch of M division parts on it. Can't believe they are putting it out with an open diff.

The teckademics sticker just proves whoever owns that car is a tool. :td:

my apologies didn't see.

why does it prove that he's a tool? all the guy does is show his car at car shows with the tekademics people.. why do you have to be an ass about it?:td:

that proves he's a tool more than the stickers.

:rly: thats great! :bigtu: and you're a retarded tool for putting your face right in front of your muffler. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axVBGNTo1Ww

because if you "show your car" or put ------ street racing videos up all the time, then you're a powerbottom. If anyone's going to gay up this forum, its me....not some nopi tunerchallege fagmo street racer garbage.

so you're rather have a FWD econobox over a rwd "tuner's scat-dungeon dream"?

a buddy of mine has a 335...he has no problems hanging with another one of my friends c6 corvette. They are both 6 speed manuals and the 335's only mod is a procede v1 chip..he has the v2 on order which puts down shit more power. They are very quick cars and I really like em. Only drawback is they have no LSD. Heck if they came with LSD out of the factory, there would be NO POINT for an m3 lol

all this video means to me is that we need a US based Top Gear. bad.

IIRC, the 135 does not have an LSD but the ABS makes it behave like it had LSD, its electronic controled ABS, or something like that, its been a few months, but it looks like a hell of a car, im scared to know how mucha nice 135 hatch will cost? i may have to lease it...im not rich, lol

+65735432156756431567645345676453447564, no shit

We are prototyping our twin valve setup right now... should hit the market well under $400.

The car seems badass, the demographic is irrelavant.

Wow i dont like bimmers but damn. Thats a nice vehicle

because a tekademics sticker makes you a fucking fag. I can afford a 335 with no problem. Fuck, I could almost cut a check for one out of saving and checking right now. I don't know who "they are" but I do know that "they" do faggy car shows, which I want nothing to do with.

Im with hustler. Its fuckin gay.

And both of us could afford it.

I really hope its a good, solid car that handles like a nasty car should...its the perfect idea though.

Did they ever work out their crappy clutch issue?

christ. i recently priced out a folding E92 (still car shopping) and it's well north of 50k. just can't pull the trigger for that kinda $ on a 3 series.

Well its not going to be anything like a miata. It will be the typical modern BMW. Heavy, boring, and piss poor everywhere but the highway.

It's a nice car and tuner friendly but hardly a "tuners dream" given the $40K price tag for a used one. I thought I read the 135s were going to be around $35K.

At that price you might as well get an STI or EVO if you're looking for a tuner dream.

Frank

But some of us like RWD and coupes. If i wanted to carry around 4 people i would get a lexus

The 135 hatch will not be available in the states.

FYI: Vishnu's solution for the 335 (active solutions, xede based piggy) is new this has not been used in other applications - he (Vish) called it ProCeed and this was used as Xede aparently doesn't play well with direct injection.. So flawless power - I seriously doubt it having used Vish based maps that were application specific with the Xede which has been out for a while now and used in Subys, Evos and Miatas (I run Xede in my '00). Heh tuners dream :-P if ya got a spare 30-40K laying around ;-) Dunno why but i keep hearing that BMRs can't handle boost w/o upgraded internals - would suck to blow your 40K toy up - new motor costs how much? Aside from the price I'm sure it'd be fun to tool around in..

yes, I judge them by the movies they make. What else should I judge them by? I have better things to do with my time than study some group of ricer youtube garbage. Yes, I want to sit around and make queer burnout movies and listen to queer techno, "spit game at ho's in tha club" and find the busiest street on the club strip and parade down it with a camera.

Do you blow these guys or something?

I'm tired of flaming now, and don't really want Philip to ban me, so I'm going to stfu now.

haha No ones getting banned for this. Im with you 100% on this.

You do appearantly

The rest of the post was offtopic so it got deleted by: Dhaark

I'll add one more thing... the 335i just sucks, the seats are uncomfortable, there is no head room and the position behind the steering wheel.... just makes you tired after an hour of driving...
Yes, I change my mind MANY times.... the 335 was nice if you drive it for around 15-20 mintues, but if you drive it for a few hours, they are really, really uncomfortable.

No one makes their own money. So if you living at home, your parents provide food, clothes, schooling and etc....


IN my life i have met one person who has truly made it on their own(ie moved out at 16 and never looked back) and had something to show for it.

Don't tell me to SHUT THE FUCK UP....
you don't know me so please don't speculate about me.... there is 1 (one) person on this forum that knows what I do for living.... and Loki, I pay for school, food, my cars, gas, insurance.... my parents just provide the house... They don't pay for anything that I do or buy.

I've deleted the previous posts.... because they were off topic and had no input regarding the 335i....

I didnt speculate shit about you I disputed what you said and I was right. uh huh yeah your a self made man through and through.

OH and shut the fuck up. and back the to the BMWs.

shut the fuck up. Enjoy living in mommy's house. Let us know when you get a job, and become a man. If I had another $800 per month to burn on bullshit, I might be an internet fanboy too. I know enough about you from your posts to know that money doesn't go down the toilet, it goes to a glory hole at a bath house. So what about the $64,000 question...poz or neg?:gay:

STFU about your gay escapades before you get e-thugged. You better watch your mouth around here, or someone's going to horse-fuck your soul. I have your ip. Better stay cool brah, or you'll get tazered...bro.

:bowrofl:

ethug outta NOWHERE

are you glad to be leaving your hotel room soon?

I got a call last night at midnight from my boss in the field office saying not to finish packing my bags yet...lol. So at this point, I'm just bankrolling student loans.

I think the 99 motor is at the machine shop now getting bored, balanced, tanked, 5-angled, extrude honed, whatevered, assymbled. So that will be done soon. I'll drive 2.5 hours to the house and put it together on the stand, set the rear end for the swap, and assymble what I can. Then, do one more track day in october, then take the car home and see what I can get done in terms of swappage in a few weekends.

Its good money, so I can't bitch.

btw... these gdamn cars are now EVERYWHERE in LA. every damn fobber has one. even 16 yr olds who just landed last week from Chaozhou, China.

i don't know wtf is going on, but i'm kinda getting turbo (penis) envy...

And all of a sudden everyone gets their panties in a wad...shit...

Why did BMW stop making decent cars and all of their cars turn to highway rollers?
