BMW's N54 twin turbo 3.0L, 6-speed MT (probably optional double clutch), 335HP stock, yes it has the M LSD. no m-dct, only stick. it is the beginning of the end. turbos have officially leaked into the sedans and coupes (not just the sav and sacs). :mad: :( many are saying that bmw is selling out and has jumped the shark. if only they just put the s65 into the 1m and kept all ///m cars na. :(

I still miss the TQ that 1 had>

I've got an 08 135i as well. Love this car! Have had about 50 cars and its better than my 996 4S in many ways.

How did you like the DP?? I'm thinking of putting on our Agency Power Downpipes, midpipes, and the JB4 tune.....recommendations?

Here's a couple pix:
