the first 135 I ran was a Dinan...405HP, a bad little car though perhaps a bit heavy. Kind of a chick looking car..but fun. Hell I've driven a stock 135 with the 6 cyl. twin turbo (great engine) and it was a really fun drive!

I had a 07 335i and I don't think you can get more than 420 hp out of them with the current tuning kits available on the stock turbo set up. I could be wrong though. Regardless they are fast and the 1 series are a bit quicker due to less weight. I wonder if those engines still have the high pressure fuel pump issues. My car died on me at 5000 miles and it took BMW 9 days to fix it.

Little bastard was fast.

He tried motioning for a third try but I'd had enough fun by then. He did NOT look amused. Bottom line is he picked on me and never could hang a bumper on the old 944. I tried giving him thumbs up but he could not be consoled. He looked downright pissed

Wonder if he realized I had a single turbo 4 cylinder?

Sounds like it was a good run. I've had my fun, but I never found any 135's. I'm in limbo with plans to get a rolling 944 chassis for my engine and trans. I wish I had videos of some of the cars I've run. I do have a couple on YouTube, but they werent my favorites.

Im selling my 951. It runs and drives but it will need a clutch soon. Here is your opportunity to own a very fast 951 for cheap :P

My brother has a 135 modded and I had a problem leaving him with my 11 sec. Evo 8.
Hopefully I get my 951 that fast.

What happens when you need to turn or stop? Guess you don't have to on the Hwy....and this is called 'racing'?
