- Check out my NEW PROJECT, the cheapest low KM 2008 BMW 135i Sports N54 in Australia! I can't wait to dive deep into this project and start some mods (after a thorough servicing). Stock these come with a 6 cylinder 3.0 litre twin-turbo engine that puts out 225kw/300hp and 400nm torque. The sky is the limit! (Or more likely, my wallet is the limit)

Awesome video, recently got my E92 325i :)
They're great cars! Congrats on your purchase
@@ElliottBrooks Thanks man! looking forward to watching your 135i!
Thinking about getting one of these after my first car gives all it can , can't wait to see how your project develops
Hopefully I can give some helpful insight! Stay tuned.
@@ElliottBrooks Keep going at it don't give up , I'll be here watching for sure !
Hey, did u end up getting it for your first car?
My advice is these are a little high maintenance for a first car
@@bioza7173 Never managed to :/
Nice, are you in the eastern suburbs too? I live in Maroubra and don’t really recall seeing many 135i’s around. Still nice to see. U got yours for a good price too but unfortunately the manual ones are much more pricey.
Yep! I’m in the east. Not too many 135i around, always nice to see them. Mine is debadged though - so I guess someone could think it’s a 125i? I’ll change that perception soon enough! Yeah manual seems to be higher demand for sure
BMW looks sick 🔥
Thanks bro!
It had 130000km.Your deal is a steal for those kms.New Zealand new.Full service history,injectors had been done,oil gaskets,vanos done,water pump.Runs well.Done intercooler,catless,inlets,outlets,shocks,intake.MHD 2.Fun quik car.Done 150mph in it.😀
Nice! So you’re stage 2 or 2+? I’m currently stage 2 but have just put the intercooler so could move to 2+. Need to figure out my boost leak first though lol
Stage 2.Found that stage 2 + ramps my boost up to 18-21psi.I just want to be careful of turbo reliablity.At stage 2 its running about 15-16 psiThe outlet is good to upgrade,as the back turbo outlet pipe is crushed to go around the steering rack on righthand drive cars.Inlets are good also,but can be expensive to fit,a pain in the arse.They mean your turbos aren’t having to work as hard,more power,reliablity.😀
Yeah I logged my stage 2 and it made about 16psi with a FMIC installed. I will try 2+ and see how it is though
Beautiful
Thank you!
Bought one of these in New Zealand.Seller was pissed off with what the dealer eas going to offer.Gave it to me for $10,000 New Zealand.Spent money on mods.👍
That’s a steal! How many KM? N54 or N55? Hope you enjoy it and hopefully my content can help guide you through some decisions
Nice ride mate! I have a white 135i E82 - wouldn’t change it for the world
I rate white cars with black trim pieces. Sounds like a great car!
@@ElliottBrooks Come to think of it I think I saw you this weekend in Randwick, I think you might have seen it haha
How funny. Small world! I saw a couple of 135i over the weekend. Can’t remember the colours though
@@ElliottBrooks if I see you or your car I’ll be sure to give you a beep! Haha
Cruising through Coogee 👍
Might have to do another cruise soon
Drive a 1 M now I also had a tommi special is that the Ralliart car you had.
Good buy I think hope everything is working out for you 2 years on
1M are super nice cars. I hope to bring my 135i closer to a 1M one day if I’m lucky. I had a Ralliart Lancer, the lesser model behind the EVO X. Similar to the 135i compared to the 1M
Good luck with your car mate.
Happy days
Mate, keep it going. Bought 2010 135i N54 Manual not long ago, stock. Sydney as well. I do this drive every weekend.
Oh nice! 2010 would be an awesome N54. Is it pre-LCI? Maybe all us Sydney crew can organise a cruise
Nice!
Thanks! Fingers crossed it's a smooth project
Sick
Thanks bro!
Are you located in Newcastle ? I think I might have seen your car around, I’ve got myself a manual recently would be nice to have someone to cruise with
Nah I’m down in Sydney. Should check Facebook for some Newcastle BMW groups or post in the Australian one for anyone in the area
Hope you mod it and have a good time. They are fun cars.
Yes! I am currently stage 2 MHD. I am just about to install my tial BOV and VRSF Chargepipe. Then will move into FMIC and go to stage 2+
Make sure to subscribe if you haven’t already :)
@Elliott Brooks hey just making sure are bovs legal? The last posts regarding it are from 2004. Any issues since?
I believe in some areas you’re not meant to have a vent to atmosphere BOV for street usage
@@ElliottBrooks have you ran into any issue with police or?
@@MrVedat6611 no
Looking into one of those as well (as summer car) but unfortunatelly in germany but its nearly impossible to even get a sub 150k km manual one for under 22k euros. For the same money you can get a lower milage M235 with the N55 engine like the 135 LCI. Really sucks that the 2 series (excluded the M2) looks kinda ugly tbh.
Edit: There are some nice "bodykits" for the 2series (especially front and rear bumper) but most of those aren't legal in germany because they are "unsafe" which makes no sense at all most of the time but ay thanks germany... :(
Yeah I’ve heard Germany is very strict with mods. 22k euro is like 35k AUD. That’s very expensive for a 10yr old car! The M235 would be a nice car to own. Looks wise the M2 is much nicer, are any of the parts tradeable? You can put 1M parts on a 135i (which I’ll hopefully do one day). Hopefully being BMW and not a aftermarket bodykit it may get past the German rules
@@ElliottBrooks Yeah the laws on mods are kinda dumb tbh. For example you can't just put in any intake in your car, it has to be one approved by TUV otherwise it gets marked as unsafe, and legaly you aren't allowed to drive the car on the roads anymore (since the approvement by TUV costs the maker of the part a lot of money, most of the tuning parts don't have the TUV approval)
Looking forward for that. For me the 1M is one of the best looking coupes ever made in my opinion, thats why I'm searching for a 135 as a little "baby 1M" that can be converted to a 1M quite easy (with it even passing german regulations since there is a company selling a 1M kit that is approved if I don't want to go for original BMW parts).
The only thing driving me to the M235 is the tech (I'm kind of a sucker for newer tech in cars) but if the time comes and if I find a good 135 I think I can get past that and get it^^
Just bought a 2008 bmw 135i for my first car! Im 17 i dont know alot about this car and i was wondering what to look at or where the best place to learn about this car. Any help is great
Its a manual by the way and i got it for 7g off copart in total
Nice one. Sounds like a good car. I’ve done a few videos on easy mods plus performance mods on a 135. Go check them out :)
Hey I’m looking to buy one with 169k kms is that too much??? He only wants 14k it’s immaculate condition
That sounds like a good deal. Just make sure you get the mechanicals checked out, as immaculate condition doesn’t matter if the engine blows up!
How many kilometres on the car?
There was about 80,000. Not too bad!
Subb'd to join you on your boosted Beemer journey..!
I could be joining you soon on a similar journey as I'll be looking to buy something similar.
Although it's quiet an edit of the car doing a full throttle 0-100km/h (camera on rear bar) pass would be good and maybe a "dose" or 2...
a great start and I'm looking forward to future uploads!
Boosted beemers all the way! Thanks for the feedback, I’ll definitely try and work that in. Waiting on some parts and scan devices - will give it a service and then I’ll send it!
Got a n54 with 130km for 15k the other week that just had the tune with downpipes, Intake and exhaust done
Clean body with half a year rego
Couldn’t find any better during this time.
It seems all the cars on the aussie market have the covid tax !
What exhaust? That’s not a bad deal if the rest of the body and interior is in good condition. What colour paint/interior? Agreed re: Covid. Supposedly used cars have jumped up since - so I’ve got a bit lucky with my timing in that regard
Vrsf downpipes and custom exhaust with tune,
M sport trim in black with black interior
Log books of servicing every 5000km but still original injectors and turbos though so hopefully they last
Nice one. I’m similar VRSF downpipes but stock exhaust. I am considering a 1M rear with quad exhausts so I haven’t pulled the pin on any exhaust upgrades yet. Definitely needs it!
In the market to buy one of these too, if you don't mind me asking how much did you pay for this ?
There’s a full breakdown of price near the end of this video :)
@@ElliottBrooks Jesus Christ that's a good price, did you bargain much ? I've been looking on carsales religiously for a month and certainly missed that price
I'm hoping to spend around 15-16k myself and wouldn't mid eithebrthe coupe or convertible
Damm coronavirus dropped the prices now everything has bounced back up even more then before
Yeah super good price and yes negotiated because of some minor visual damage and issues here and there. There also might be worse mechanical issues as I need a scanner to check - but overall it’s a good find and all part of the journey. Just try find a good clean example and take your time. Patience is key. Also consider interstate as the savings could be worth the travel (besides VIC as it’s not worth covid hahaah)
Haha haha shit.. I live in Vic *cries internally*
Hahaha you’re all good then! If you can leave the state? Haha
Yes mate that’s a bargain as I just bought mine for $13000 full service history one lady owner who’s just fix everything for me including a walnut treatment on the head had inspection done for loan came back immaculate inside and out no leaks or turbo noise if customer doesn’t buy it I will was from the mechanic that was sent to look at it , I’m coming from a v8 trying to save money on petrol lol
Is that AUD or USD? Good price in this current market. My car would’ve been 20-25 now! If you’re coming from a V8, you’ll be surprised that these go through similar amounts of fuel. The twin turbos make up the difference of the 2 cylinders
Mate I’m in Newcastle Australian and so far I’m going though 1/4 of the fuel of my ssv commodore v8 so definitely not usd
Theses are 1000 kg lighter than my commodore I’m loving it black out my rims today looks hot as check it out on my channel
I’ve got 200000 km but full service history and just had every fix
I hate no dip stick and no tremper gages
First step.. cut hole on side of car... Get forklift. Punch auto out of car. Insert manual and have fun
Hahah yeah manuals certainly are more popular. A couple thousand more expensive too
@@ElliottBrooks cant put a price on happiness (skids)
@@chilrl7425 I've currently gone to stage 2 MHD - and skids are certainly no problem with the traction control off haha ;)
How important is it to buy a car with a roadworthy certificate?
In NSW you do not need a roadworthy certificate if it’s registered as it’s already passed road worthy tests
@@ElliottBrooks I'm not from Australia but if a car has a RWC would that make necessarily make the car more reliable?
It means it passes certain conditions. To be a registered car, you need to pass these conditions (which my car did and does).
