I was really shocked when Jerry got a 135 because I always believed that if he was looking for the 11s, the E55 would've been the perfect ticket for that and probably for less than a 135 costs new (and you don't have to worry about warranty issues). The Beast is and remains one of my all time fav AMG cars.

Our 135i gets 32 MPG and runs the 1/4 in 13.3 seconds stock. The car was purchased as a business decision and is LET's car.

I don't have to worry about warranty issues because of people that we know and the fact that they work for BMW. I was assured of this.

For less than $3k, our little 135i will still get 32MPG and run the 1/4 mile in the high 11's and will dyno at 415whp and 425wtrq.

I love the E55 and I will own one, but the 135i is what is best for the company.

Will all the focus on the 135i, what happens to the C32? Have you abandoned any future plans for it?
I mean the 135i is a nice car, but i necessarily dont want to relive the 70's.
I may be interested in a 335i when the economy picks up

The C32 has been gone for well over a month now. Sold to the highest bidder and I can't say I blame him for that!!! The 135i is a very nice car and I hear, very quick stock, BUT Jerry knows that I am not a big Beemer fan, although after next Sat, that may change. Since I am only running a pulley and intake and NOTHING else(pig is still flying) , I plan on racing that car and seeing how we do against one another!! Loser buys lunch!!

They all do.



I'd consider BMW if the 135i wasn't so butt-ugly to begin with. Tinkering just makes it worse.
