Seems like the 135i is a bit out of my budget. I'm thinking about getting a 128i and just installing a big turbo kit. Anybody got any brands in mind? (Dinan doesnt have shit... )
Big mistake, it will cost you a lot more in the long run to have to convert the engine. Best bet is to get a used 135i and then just doing the turbo upgrade. Plus, there is a huge difference between the two when it comes to quality of parts (ie. suspension, software, brakes!)
That's another thing, the 128 has almost no power mods on the market what so ever. With a chip you can get between 100-140 hp/tq gains. With bolt on mods you can easily achieve 500 hp
The Dinan chip my dad has installed on customers cars gets it to like 400hp. pretty badass.
