Good stuff mate - did not waffle sh!t - say it like it is. I just sold my full bolt on black 370Z and brought the same car as you have here with the red interior - black exterior. It does appear to be very easy to get power out of these things - mine is stock as far as i know but will boost 10 lbs with AFR of 12.2. Car is significantly quicker that my 6 speed Z was. I have purchased a 5 inch intercooler and will fit it a couple of days then look at a MHD1+ map to start...
i have a 135i similar to this and i had a evo8 previously ... fun car and def great you can switch from daily comfortable driver to a hoon car being rwd and i6 turbo.. but i still miss my evo
Do you have any problems with the transmission? I'm a little bit doubtful to get 135i with dct due to the transmission reliability with stage 2 remap. Is it better to just go with 335i f30 or do you recommend the 135i with dct?
Hey man i just bought a 2011 135 dct just looking for some experiences and tips im gonna be going fbo soon and e85 mix map through the mhd flash tuner i was just wondering if youve ever had and clutch slipping problems or anything related to the transmission failing and also how much power you are making at the wheels. I would greatly appreciate your response Thank you
I’ve never had any clutch issues but I never ran a e85.. I can only imagine the torque on e85 would be crazy! I’m sure the transmission wouldn’t like it as much. COBB stage 2 aggressive made 80 hp and 120 torque extra to the wheels. I would keep it in sport mode for the added shift pressure.
Hey I saw you answered this question a year ago, but I'm wondering if it's still the case. Do you have any issues with the dct holding power? Buying a 135i dct this week and was thinking about doing a catless dp, fmic, and mhd stage 2. If there are issues with the dct handling that though then I'd rather not
"They dont want to race me .. Knowing they could loose, which is gay..." :_D you just made my day!!! Btw, mine is standard, really dont need more for daily driving, is a fantastic machine.
I'm looking into picking up a '11 135i how much did you spend on your mods to make 380hp. Is it all bolt on and a flash to the ecu? Will this still pass emission/smog. Btw I'm from California. Thanks bud.
Yes! I’ve probably spent around 2k In mods. I’m not sure if it would pass a smog test because I did a catless downpipe.. Once you do that you can smell the fuel pretty bad.
I understand what you’re going through I felt the same way. As far as the maintenance the car went through batteries every few months and it got annoying. It left me stranded three or four times.
Well I put three batteries in it all in one year! And sometimes the car would stall with a dual clutch transmission. I’ve had a tune for months and ran awesome with no issues. I just felt like it was the mileage on the car. It was close to 75,000 miles
These n55 135i are all pwg so are limited to 380bhp whereas the m135i n55 ewg can make upto 440-450bhp max as the stock turbo can't take much more. So you would be better getting a hybrid turbo
Damn.. rear bucket seats, nice
I remember watching your video 3 years ago before I got my 2011 135i dct, a great video and you convinced me to bite the trigger!
That’s awesome to hear!! Thank you!
Very nice model 🎉🎉🎉
Yeah I liked it
“Which is gay cause I’ll run anyone” 😂😂😂 made me lol

This dude said stage 2 twin stroll lol
I heard this which leads me to believe he reads alot of books
@4:20 Please wait for your temps to come up before you beat on your ride man, you say in your vid you drive racecars, come on man!
ran to the comments soon as I saw the dash lol. Might explain why it has a check engine light lol
i have a 135i similar to this and i had a evo8 previously ... fun car and def great you can switch from daily comfortable driver to a hoon car being rwd and i6 turbo.. but i still miss my evo
The Bmw is fun because it’s a sleeper lol but the Evo is to much for a daily driver.
What do you miss about your evo. My 8 has been a pain haha

Good honest video, enjoyed it. So no other mods at all expect what is stated?
+DrCrazyAzz nope that's it!

I never had any issues with the DCT , but the battery kept dying on me every few months and needed to be replaced.
"Doesnt give me any issues"
(*cuts to dash showing CEL and cold oil temps as he's flooring it*)
I bet it's given you some issues by now haha
🤷🏻♂️ I sold it years ago
Nice Car :) I love bmw 😄👍
+Seko36ify thanks!
"They dont want to race me .. Knowing they could loose, which is gay..." :_D you just made my day!!! Btw, mine is standard, really dont need more for daily driving, is a fantastic machine.
+ivo ore hahaha you would love it even more with another 80 hp 120 tq
Hey rob, you ever have any issues with the transmission slipping?
+brian migdaleck nope not at that power level
1st question: are you running stock run-flats?
2nd question: is your coolant gauge not working, or are you hammering it while still cold???
+Steve Morr I'm running the nitto 555 g2 255/35/18 also I have an lower oil cooler thermostat so it always stays around 210ish
Dude you sound like Luke Bryan! lol
No one has ever said that but thanks!
I thought the same exact thing and I was away from computer when watching lol.
Twin stroll turbo and it’s his deli
Hi great video!
How is the reliability of this model like yours dtc etc?
It was OK towards the end of me owning it the car would sometimes stall coming to an idol and I went through three batteries in one year
@@phelpsgarage4202 thanks for the response!
What was the problem at the end for the battery ?
@@sebbbou5455 I had no idea I just thought maybe because the car had so many electronics..
How tall are you? I’m 6’3 will I fit comfortably in it? Leg room? Just want to know if I could adjust seat height for me to fit comfortably in it
I’m 5’8 but I like sitting close to the wheel. I’m sure you’ll have enough room.
seats in bmw´s generally go quite low, compared to vw and others, which is pretty good...
I'm 6'3 they're comfy
I test drove the 2013 135i today. The steering was stiff at low speeds. Is this normal ?
Compared to most cars I would say yes.
I'm looking into picking up a '11 135i how much did you spend on your mods to make 380hp. Is it all bolt on and a flash to the ecu? Will this still pass emission/smog. Btw I'm from California. Thanks bud.
Yes! I’ve probably spent around 2k In mods. I’m not sure if it would pass a smog test because I did a catless downpipe.. Once you do that you can smell the fuel pretty bad.
Check engine light on after saying no issues 🤷♂️🤦♂️
No converters turn check engine light on
How did the N55 hold up?
The drivability sucked with the DCT with stop and go traffic. Eventually just traded it in. 60ish thousand miles
I know you daily this and was wondering if it’s expensive to maintain this because I want to get one but scared maintenance is going to kill me
I understand what you’re going through I felt the same way. As far as the maintenance the car went through batteries every few months and it got annoying. It left me stranded three or four times.
Did you figure out why it was eating through batteries? Does this have some start stop feature because those are extremely heavy on batteries
Induction Addiction It sounds like you have a drain of some sort, it’s definitely not normal to go though batteries that often.
Do you still own the 135i?
No I don’t
Still have?
No
Which brand 4" catless downpipe do you use ? does it throw fault code ? if yes, how do you eliminate it ?
+Serkan Cilingir its was a no name band down pipe and it did throw a fault code but once I tuned it with the COBB AP stage 2 the code went away.
N55?
Yeah
Twin stroll ok buddy
wassup with the check engine dude.
It was so long ago I’m not sure. I sold the car due to the maintenance I kept having to deal with.
@@phelpsgarage4202 So after your mods you started getting issues or before?
Well I put three batteries in it all in one year! And sometimes the car would stall with a dual clutch transmission. I’ve had a tune for months and ran awesome with no issues. I just felt like it was the mileage on the car. It was close to 75,000 miles
@@phelpsgarage4202 No 75 is nothing, so you got rid of the car completely huh?
@@jurzyjohner432 yeah man. I have much love for the car tho
Hard to choose if I want this or the manual... :/
+Jaemin Lee if you go with a big turbo I would go manual
How much hp are you making?
The car was making around 380hp 420tq
These n55 135i are all pwg so are limited to 380bhp whereas the m135i n55 ewg can make upto 440-450bhp max as the stock turbo can't take much more. So you would be better getting a hybrid turbo
Fuck an EVO, 135 DCT is 10x nicer LMFAO.
rubbish video, show us more hard accelerations
zakariyya94 The goal is to always remember it’s a bmw. Treat it right it’ll reward you.
a twin what?? twin stroll?? lol
Michaelski100 twin scroll turbo
Twin stroll 🤣
Should have been a manual
+N54 Lord a manual would have been fun but it's hard to beat a DCT
