My 135i project

[LoBoost]

Well I suppose it's time to make a thread detailing my build. It's finally coming together and will hopefully be completed soon.

Car is a 2008 135i. I bought it with 40k miles from Arizona. (yay no rust of any kind!)

MMP built motor (I know, I know. If it blows up I'll have another built lol)

Closed deck
Darton sleeves
JE forged pistons
Carrillo rods
ARP M12 stud upgrade
Maximum PSI crank hub
Ported and polished head
Ferra valvetrain
Schrick high lift cams
(Some other junk I can't remember)

Motiv bottom mount Xona 105-68

EOS manifold with ID1300 port injectors

EOS billet fuel hats, three walbro 525 pumps, two BMP4 controllers

Twin disc clutch from those Australian dudes

Syvecs ECU tuned by Jake @ Motiv.

BMS intercooler (the big Phoenix one)

Mfactory diff and axles

BMP? I can't remember the brand. 3 or 3.5 inch exhaust.

I have a set of apex wheels and a set of ccw classics

European LCI headlights! I really like these. Expensive but made the car look so much better.

I'm shooting for a lot of power. If that motor doesn't hold up I'll have someone else build me one.

Won't be super heavy on the pics (for now) because I'm about half a world away from the car.

The other beast in the garage

Not the best pic of those wheels. They look a lot better in the daylight, and with the new headlights.

I finally got CCW to send the color matched center caps that I originally ordered. The color probably isn't for everyone, but I wanted to try something different. If I get sick of it I can always have the centers refinished. They look a lot better in person.

nice build, hopefully you arent planning on racing with those tires. What are you goal for numbers?

 

[LoBoost]

I got those tires for traction. I'm shooting for 1k hp. (or at least 900 something)

I may go widebody this fall / winter. That will open up the door considerably for better / stickier tires. Not a ton of options in a 275 width.

Edit: my apex ARC8's have pilot supersport's on them if I need something different. (those toyos are pretty noisy and wear pretty fast)

@abal97 who did your motor build?

I hope my motor holds up ok. If not I've got a few other cars to drive at home.
