Ghassan Automotive (engine building company) is looking to sponsor their next BMW engine build. As you all know, that's one of the last pieces of the puzzle for this car. To improve my chances of getting sponsored for this build, YOU can help!

Hyperblack ARC-8s would be the move. Blackline tails already?! Damn, looks like this thing was modded. Exhaust tips don't look stock, almost looks identical to my old Riss Racing setup. The 1 series never got dual exit exhaust, so you could just find a white 135i rear bumper to get a diffuser on there.

I removed that clutch device and returned the lines back to stock and re-bled the system. Glad I got that thing out. After running that 10 second pass in my 135i, I was really curious what it weighed. So, I found a local weigh station and put it on the scale. I even brought my stock BMW 335i to find out the difference in weight between the two. 135i weighed 3,300lbs without a driver. 335i weighed 3,600lbs without a driver. For more details, like the weight reduction I've already done on the 135i and how much gas each car had, check out my video below. I ripped the 135i at the beginning, so it's worth watching anyways.

Jealous of the white! Car looks clean, I like the black grilles and tinted windows. I'm surprised you got an auto, but you will still enjoy it. Reminds me of my old 328i, a fun daily driver. How long 'til you lower it on wheels and add blackline tail lights? PS: I don't think you made a public announcement of your move on FB or WIBimmers, but maybe now it's time to migrate over to WABimmers...

Both of those things were standard on Windows 7 lol.

Given your vehicle lineup, I don't think you're hurting for royalties If you're up for it, let me know. I'd love to experiment with it.

I want to drive all of your vehicles ...maybe I should start a "Jake's Take" YouTube series.

Thanks! I'm aiming for mid 10's next time, which would put me at the fastest manual position!

Thanks Pat! Eventually I'll get an LSD, some bias-ply slicks, etc. More practice will help too. Thanks!

You just made me look it up... yes, only manual in the 10's with stock diff. The other three guys all have an LSD, some with upgraded axles as well. Yeah, Mike Heffner is his name. Super cool guy, glad he shared some pics he took with me. Yeah, it's really an awesome device. Tracks many more things in addition to the 1/4 mile as well!

She's got another 2-3psi in her

I made it to the drag strip the other day and want to share the results! I am now one of four manual N54-powered vehicles in the 10s... in the world! 2560 DA Log: https://datazap.me/u/suspenceful/1090-1369-mph?log=0&data=1-4 Adjustments I made to the car: Replaced my blown stock shocks with Competition Engineering drag shocks for a 60s-70s Ford Fresh NGK 97506 spark plugs gapped to 0.022" Implemented 2-step/antilag (didn't hold RPM consistently) Installed a clutch slipping device (didn't work properly) Removed back seats and interior trunk panels (~50-100lbs) Dragy results from the same pass:

I told him I'm down to swap keys! PS: that's a nice fender roller

Nice! So far, it's been great. I've been working under it almost every day since installing it... lol. Are you looking into getting one?

No, hers are the AL ones. Thanks for clarifying.
