The 400+Hp 135i CSL that BMW should have built

- The E82 BMW 135i offers a great basis for upgrades with its 3.0L inline 6 turbocharged engine. Stock, it makes 306hp. Alex decided to do some light engine tuning, along with some very heavy suspensions mods resulting in the perfect clubsport. Is this the E82 CSL that BMW should have built?

I really like that nothing off the 135i has been done on the exterior body, nothing that tries to "seem" like an 1M without been one, no front 1M front bumper, no quad exhausts.
yeah but the 1m stuff looks so good
This video may have conviced me to get a 135i
Did you get it?
@@dimitarchardakliev5351 I got an E92 335i, 6MT Msport. Lots of goodies and stage 2 turbos. Lots of fun
@@dixieracingteam3351 Nice, have fun
Dixie Racing Team Hell yeah 💪🏽
Same 👀😂
One of the best N54 exhaust i’ve ever heard 🔥🤤🤤🚀❤️
Mate that was bloody epic, Alex seems like the coolest dude on this planet too! What a car, what a video 👌👌👌
Thanks mate! He's a super chill guy, especially for letting me hoon it.
@@heelandtoe_ Hey, do you have the guy's Instagram or any other social media?
This car has bar far one of the best exhaust I have ever heard on a N54 engine!! What a great build. Quality video as well.
First! I can see my 1M right behind you =) Such a pleasure shooting with you. Great video of a great car. I hope this gets loads of views!
RevMatchTV Thanks again for helping and coming along!
Haha whaa....didn't know you were in on this too!
I own a n55 dct 135i running stage 2 at the moment. It's honestly a beast, it's my favorite car to drive.
i just joined the community 2 weeks ago. 2011 stage 2, dinan oil cooler, intercooler, and exhaust. blessed with purchase. even came lowered on koni yellows with bbs wheels. have to tell myself every time i drive "slow the ef down!!"
GarethR new owner here two had the car for about a year and a half 2012 dct 135i n55 msport I love the car how does the car feel with the new bolt ons? I’ve been wanting to pull the trigger on some but I’m focusing on my supporting mods first
@@gerardovargas6237 replace that plastic charge pipe first. have you gotten a solid ppi? my car only had just under 60k and it needs new oil housing gaskets, valve cover gaskets, trans pan gaskets, plugs, and brakes. gaskets get hard and start leaking or seeping. research what can happen if the oil filter filter housing gets bad and leaks on the belts. game over. highly suggest new plugs before any tune with correct gaps. 2nd an intercooler. oil cooler last. bmc drop in air filter is a cheap upgrade. exhaust will get you a little more of a note you can hear with the window down. you wont get that super sound until you get a catless downpipe. you might not want the hassle of swapping downpipe for smog or find a smog guy to pass. you can safely get a mhd stage 1 tune with stock car for +25-50 horses. I would not go stage 2 until all the maintenance is done and you have all the bolt ons to keep temps down and engine safe. stage 2 is kinda pointless without a catless downpipe per my tuner. my dinan tune is considered mild but i will go mhd stage 2 once i get the gaskets done and a vrsf downpipe. getting jealous of all the burbles around me. i got my car fully modded so i can't say how each upgrade feels one at a time.
Stage 2 single turbo n54
Alex you are a legend. Goosepimps from the sound of your car. BMW 6-in line rules....
Just got a 2010 135i, enjoying it so far. I’ll start modding soon, I’ll follow what Alex did.
Hell yea, that looked perfectly set up, Styling was spot on too.....great review
Stoked you enjoyed the car and had fun!
Sick work on this 1 dude!
Alex Bernstein did I get right you’ve managed to fit 255/35/18 front and rear? could you please share the specs of your wheels?
The wheel choice is just part of this setup working. The big thing is running a KW-style coilover, with 7” springs and no helper, and the ride height set so the lower coilover perch still sits above the tire. That an a significant amount of negative camber (-2.7-3.25) will let you fit a 255 easily. At the time of this video I was running 18x9 +42 all around, with a 3mm spacer up front just for piece of mind, making the effective from offset +39. The car makes too much power though and needs more rear grip, so now I run a 265/35 up front on the same wheel, and a 275/35 out back on an 18x9.5 +58 with a 10mm spacer, so +48. Hope this is helpful.
Alex Bernstein that’s a great feedback! Thanks! I’ve bought a used 135i recently and looking for projects to build a track tool. Your’s very nice. Thumbs up!
Happy to help. Feel free to check out the build thread for more info on it. www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1434671
Oh My!!! 🤤. What an awesome video 👌🏽. Well done mate, love the slidey stuff as always 👌🏽. This has got to be the 1 series to coupe to have even compared to a 1M 💪🏽.
Great work sir 👊🏽
It's an amazing car Alex has built. On the straights I couldn't keep with him at all. I think he and I will do a comparison video soon.
Thanks so much mate! The slide was quite a fishtail but whatever ;)
Great build! So clean and sounds nice and mean. Well done!
Awesome job on the video as well. Lots of epic shots and pretty footage, subscribed!
Thanks!
Fantastic car man - cheers for the vid - love it
The sound is very incredible👍
Love my 135, some cool things on this one
Such a great car!! Awesome spec.
I watch this vid every time I need a little boost to get my n54 feel ons. I have owned a 135i for 4 years and have a few mods. Just starting to get everything I want in the last 6 months and prob the next 6 too. I find the standard car pretty woeful in terms of handling but it's good to see they can be made to handle like a go cart.
This was a great video the confidence of the passenger was different usually letting somebody else drive let alone push it threw a canyon great build
my 135i is pretty much identical in terms of engine modifications, tuning and berk race exhaust just minus the suspension/brake mods. Really encourages me to start to focus more on handling now that it's making a solid 400whp now.
I am about to buy what sounds like is an identical version of your car, aside from it having the N55. VRSF stage 2 turbo, all the VRSF piping, aFe magnum force intake, non-catted VRSF downpipe with berk tech. A couple other things, a tune and of course a GFB BOV for all those lovely gurgles and pops. Do you still have yours?
Looking to get one for my next car fantastic bit of kit 👌
Damn that car sounds sweet!
Great drive, great spirit.
That chassis on the 1 series coupe is perfect, regardless of the engines etc, the underpinnings are the best, and if it’s perfect from the bottom then the rest will follow
Nicely done! Great car as well.
Great review
When he described his suspension and wheel setup 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Lovely car & great video! thanks. 👍
beautiful sound!!!
It’s sounds so perfect omg 😍😍
Awesome ! Would like to see more of the engine though ......
Awesome video and car!
i bought mine yesterday. its a 135i convertible with 28,875 miles and has kw suspensions, 200 cell downpipe (sounds really deep and brutal, pops without mhd burble), wheel spacers. i already ordered a vrsf chargepipe kit. i have to say that this car runs so good and smooth that i currently dont know if i even wanna tune it..
it has tons of torque and power and is really loud. before buying it, i was thinking and doing research on how to tune this car for about a month.. but when i bought it and drove it home, i dont feel that it needs any tuning.
I like the car man Nice choice of mods car sounds great
Great video, guys. I've been looking at these 135i BMWs for several months now and this video is pushing me closer to the edge. I don't need another car, but damn... I really want one of these in my life right now! Kickass build, awesome people, and great edit! Cheers!
TheMick26 welcome to the club
They are such awesome cars. Go test drive one and see how you feel then 🤓
Life’s too short, buy one
I don't even know how many times I've watched this video! I guess I need to reinstall the berk exhaust again... hate the drone but love the sound.
great vid!
Amazing car, wish I could have found the spec I wanted, but couldn't, and was tired of waiting, so ended up getting a 335i. He needs to get ride of them orange indicators on the head lights. Proper eyesore!
Picking up a 135i dct next month because of this video 😅🤤
Nice car, classy build.
ive never seen your videos. but im def gonna sub to your channel this video is very good
I'm in the same boat!
Anybody else need closed captions because of the drone? 😂 I think I missed a few sentences but I’ll live. Fun video to watch on big screen TV at 2am.
Really epic car!
finally 😜😂👌 awesome video man! epic!
HeelandToe.blog delivers!
Loved my 135i with DCT and torque N55. But brakes, rear sub frame bushings, differential, have to be addressed. Had the same Apex arc 8 wheels with 235 in front and 265 rears Michelin PS. It was fun blowing past geezers in their C5 and C6 Vettes.
Now I enjoy my 335is with MFactory LSD, DCT etc. Engine is mildly tuned to about 340 at the wheel and still easily breaks traction if I am not careful. Not certain I want to go any higher. Might bump to 400 when I replace turbos.
3.5 degrees negative camber up front must kill tire wear. Even in the rear.
Nice job with the 135i platform. Looks very clean. Biggest drawback I had from the 135i was the floaty feeling on track, especially the rear. Nothing a set of 1M or better bushings couldn't fix. Makes me miss 135i.
Rear is terrible feeling, same with mine… is it fixable? Feld it on the ring this year!
@@xZiMinDaveyy Yes it's fixable. As he wrote already some 1M/m3 or poly bushes will fix the floaty rear.
1.I wonder what your wheel is equipped with now. What is the dimension of a wheel?
2.What's the size of a tire?
Wheel selection is too difficult. I hope you will give me an answer
No double sided taped carbon bits👍🏽
You are running the 3.46 gears in the rear! I have contemplated trying that, have no idea why they did a 3.08. How shorter are the gears with the 3.46? Is it still street friendly. With the stock gears you can do 80 mph easily in 3rd gear.
I have an E92 335i 6MT (N54). I love the car. But ive always wanted to build a fun DD/auto-x from a BMW128i. It would be an awesome and fun car.
My brother has the BMW N52 engine, in his 2006 BMW 530Xi. It's the I6 3.0L NA motor.
Its the newest and the last NA I6 after the E46 M3 engine, BMW made. It has Full VANOS & Valvetronic. Even with the extra weight of an AWD 5-series, the motor is moree than powerful enough and has a ton or torque and once you start revving it out, it turns into a different engine. Smooth power pulling allll the way to redline. Plus the sound is 10x better than the N54/5 engines.
There are plenty of forum users getting 300whp out of the N52 with basic exhaust, drop-in filter, and of course the 330i/530i intake manifold & tune to run the Intake Manifold. The 330i is rated at 255hp and the 328i is rated at 225hp. The difference being the 3-stage Intake Manifold which has flaps inside to chagenthe effective length of the intake runners.
Plus its also a very reliable engine and has very little modifications done to them bc of the N54/N55 just being more popular for the tuners. But the engine has a lot of potential left. The engine is also very light. The block and head are a Magnesium/Aluminum blend for weight and it has a lightneded internal rotating mass (crank,rods, pistons) to make the motor even more impressive. Incase those didnt know this was the top engine in 2006 for the 3 & 5 series in the USA and there only was a 255hp version N52 in other countries...
I know there are 2-3 shops running an NA 128i race car so the ones that know, know lol..
You straight up look like Vito Scaletta, the main character from Mafia II.
He was driving fancy cars since the 1940s, fam.
Epic
I love my 135i and I love it more knowing that there are not many around...
Not as many as the E90/E92, but they are around. My old Volvo V70R was a lot rarer
@@mitchellh4028 i own an 135i N54 and i never seen any other in my life
Greetings from Australia. So are you saying right after the 2 Berk resonators just continues with twin pipes all the way . Any drone with this system. Many thanks and what a great video. Cheers.
N54 stage 2+LSD=gold
I will like ten times if I can get a spec sheet of his mods
11:35 Serious face!
i love e82
My next car
Any build thread?
Hey @heelandtoe can we get a list of mods alex did? Or do you have his social media? I want to copy some of the mods but not sure how to go about it.
More power is ALWAYS the answer. Where can I buy one like this?
It's almost like the engine has two notes that harmonize
I agree
This car sounds fuckin' tight.
What exhaust is this?? I bought a 135i N54 two days ago. Same like in the Video, Alpine white but mine has the M-Package with carbon spoiler ect.
This car is so much fun to drive.
Congrats first of all! It must be a joy driving it !
Ive be thinking a long time about getting one , how your experience after a few months with the little beast? Whats the average yearly maintenance cost if I may ask? Would you recommend it or would you get a m135i maybe?
DG my dad got me a 535i which is almost the same thing only of course different model of car and other parts. The n54 is incredible. It’s pretty reliable however (it’s a bmw) so it won’t run perfectly forever. However it’s a very good engine and produces a respectable amount of power and feels awesome. I’m trying to get a 135i as well !
Get one... if you can turn your own wrench. They can be a bit of a problem child, but worth it when you have your foot to the floor and a smile on your face!
@@_DG_DG i got one, mhd stage 2plus 446ps 712nm its fckn amazing.. but it swallows a mass haha:D if u have the money buy one! great feeling to smoke the amgs etc
what exhaust???
What kind of stabiliser bars is this running?
This is the German guy with the lotus
Want.
Did we hear what shifter is in it?
Am planning on getting a cobb FMIC, afe CAI, charge pipe, downpipes. Do you think I can get 400hp with an MHD tune? What do you think the 0-60 will be?
stage 2+ with inlets, I/c, do's etc should north of 400
Not sure if I should go for one of these or a 370z
Did he change put an lsd?
this was edited, and that part with the nice exhaust sound on that turn there was only one person in the vehicle.
I fit 275 just fine on my 135i
Square or just rear🤔
The 1M behind u im dying its so fucking pretty
Cool car..good edited video. Not really a CSL (changing just seats does count) since its not lightweight, but I get what your saying. Seems like a fun car to own and drive.
Thanks! It definitely was a blast. The rear seats are out, and the front seats shave off some weight - that added with the light engine tuning and serious suspensions mods makes it a pretty good CSL to ;)
HeelandToe.Blog - car sounded fabulous. You are right and spoke too early on CSL comment. Definitely a cool car and actually made me go to autotrader...so kudos to the owner
mod list?
isn't this a guzzler? or is fuel not an issue for you?? I'm in South Africa & our fuel price is ridiculously high...
Aren’t these the roads where The Smoking Tire records his videos too?
How much lbs did you lose ?

They eventually did. It’s called the M2 Competition.
What year is this car?

Fuhhhh,when I make more money I'm gonna make my 128i like this
123456bmx no you wont
Nah, leave your 128i alone. Last naturally aspirated inline 6 available with a manual transmission in a small coupe. Front end is lighter also.
1.35, 2.35 FTW!!!!!!!!!
If it was my girl friend I would have difficulty moving on. But fortunately it's a BMW wouldn't let go.
DCI with open CAI feed pipe makes no sense. Biggest tuning scam on the net.
135i properly setup is a great car. Suspension, brakes, subframe bushings, differential all have to be addressed. Apex Arc 8 is the best affordable wheel solution.
Isn’t the point of the 1m basically what this is supposed To be? Still a clean car though
1m share the subframes, suspension and brakes from the e92 m3. Also other things like a lighter fly wheel too.
What is his instagram😱
Did he mention what Shifter? I think I missed it.
Never mind. MOTORSPORT SHIFTER
AKG Motorsport
Then give it a proper S engine
This feels like a smoking tire rip off
