This Tuned 450HP BMW 135i is the Sweet Spot for a Daily-Driven N54

Welcome back to the show! Today we're behind the wheel of a moderately modified and tuned BMW 135i. With a twin turbo N54 Inline 6 under the hood powering the rear wheels and a manual gearbox to control the symphony of it all, this 135i is perfectly modified for a street/daily setting. It's got plenty enough power to shove you back in your seat and get a little sideways on the backroads, but not so much that you're constantly having to worry about failed engine components. The perfect daily driver meets weekend warrior in what is truly the sweet spot in modern BMW sports coupes. Enjoy!

🔰Gear we use.

What would you guys rather have?! This, or the new M340i... tough call. (p.s. TRD widebody AE86 feature drops Thursday morning)

I’ve had 3 335i’s now. If you can turn a wrench, you’ll be just fine.

I've got a 2008 135i M coupe.
Absolutely sooo much fun to drive.
My commute to work is all country roads in Japan.
Probably less than 50 of them in the country.
BMW only made about 6300 of them.
Awesome car.

Such an amazing car! I recently purchased my first REAL drivers car (2012 135i M sport) and I couldn’t be happier! This platform, even in its stock form, is just a joy to drive!

135i is great. my opinion is that the stock power is pretty much all you need. you can do basic power mods but you mostly want to get the suspension sorted on the car and the car will be great.

Despite their issues, I don't think I could ever not own an n54. Love mine!

[kiko]

I’d love to see a parts list on this car or get the owners social media. This is the nicest sounding, best looking 135i I’ve seen

[LikquidDutch]

N54 4 life she brings a'lot of pain but a'lot of joy its worth the reward .Take care of her and she will take care of you I love mine.

For me 600Whp with upgraded stage 2+ twin turbos is the sweet spot for my daily driving in my e93 n54 335i.

i have always thought the bmw 1 series was a new e30, probably the closest thing you could buy from them today.

[jitterball]

If you ever lived in the 80's and your dad happened to own an E12, 530i, this would actually sound pretty familiar and nostalgic.

[M_Max]

N54 and B58 for sure two of BMW's best engines of recent years

[billnab]

[ovodrizzyszn]

[echannel]

Is a Mercedes cap legal in a BMW review?

[victore]

Love my 135, but BMW's 1st mass produced Turbo car was the 2002 Turbo back in the 1970s, they also had a 7 series that was turbo.

[madisonsmith]

have always watched this channel, im not sure why he doesnt have atleast 1 mill subs by now. Content is on par with the smoking tire.

[Andrei-cpjr]

I'd love to drive a loud 135i and get flipped off every day haha

[acjbloomerful]
