If I lived close I would be all over a track meet. I've had my doors blown off before so its nothing new. Lets hope i can change all that soon Hell I got beat by a ford F250 powerstroke that was lifted. It ran a 13.03! I blame it on all the black smoke so i couldn't see anything.

Good luck with the warranty on that thing if something goes wrong!! (135); they will know in a heartbeat if you've modded it and BMW takes no prisoners when it comes to modded warranty claims.

Stock 135i has 306hp something cant be right if that car is only getting a 8% driveline loss thats just unheard of.

So BMW is slanting the truth when they say the car ONLY has 300 HP!! Yeah right!! Come on Jerry, what are you going to do to it? Please share with us!! I know they can be made to go very very fast! Just watch that warranty. Claims can be brutal, just ask some of my clients with the modded 335s.
