BMW 135i Pure Turbos N54 Pure600 Review 

They’re getting older, so be prepared for maintenance before tuning

The Speed Addiction yes sir. My father and I have a full bolt on, and upgraded turbos on a 335i sedan. But I want another! We are stoked for another build! Thank u for the heads up!

If your ride doesn’t make you smile, you need a new one 😁

Awesome! Thank you! More to come!

Awesome. That’s pretty conservative and will be very reliable at that power level.

The Speed Addiction yes sir, i drive 80 miles a day so Reliability is key for me. I will also be doing a e50 tune and bumping it up to 22 psi. But first i need to fix whats going on with my car, hopefully it is the high pressure pump. Considering its the only fuel related component i havent replaced

Hope it goes well. At least there’s a lifetime warranty on parts from Fcp Euro

I need to get a Draggy. 60-120 mph would be a good metric

@@TheSpeedAddiction Well worth the investment in a dragy. Helps take out the placebo effect with mods. I think you'll find the MPH guys do 60-130mph and the kmh guys do 100-200kmh. Dragy records both times which is handy.

Zero To 60 Good to know. Thanks!

Thanks for watching. New video coming after a few issues get fixed.

Thanks for watching. You’re gonna love the power. Make sure you get all your N54 maintenance done while you waiting for the turbos.

@@TheSpeedAddictioni think this is the path I'm going with my FBO 135i. Pure 600 is plenty power for me instead of DAW stage 4 or Single T. Other than what you mentioned on the video did you have to change your coils and injectors. What about cooling system upgrade? You think the 5 inch aftermarket intercooler is enough for 550-600whp? Thanks and very nice write up.

It definitely gives me an adrenaline rush every time I drive it. Thanks for watching 👍🏾

It’s getting there

Hahah, it’s definitely fun 😊. Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks for watching bro! You need a 135 or 335 in your garage. They’re so tunable

Eventually we will add a BMW TO THE COLLECTION

I love a fast car 😎

Thanks 🙏🏾

Thanks for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for watching. There's more content coming!

Hi, I think you should be at around 500 whp. Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks for watching them bro. I’m trying hard to make them enjoyable.

I had upgraded Cool Carbon pads and Motul RBF 660 fluid. It had great stopping power initially, but after a few minutes of hard canyon driving (multiple repeated breaking from very high speeds), the pedal would go soft and the calipers would start to smoke. Its due to the pistons in the caliper overheating. The cooling properties of the caliper are not great and it takes a toll on the pistons. That's why the 1M has the same brakes as the E92 M3.

@@TheSpeedAddiction Those are garbage! You gotta do stainless lines, vented rotors & you'll be all set. Especially if you spend the money on the two piece rotors with billet hats...👍🏼🏁

@@TheSpeedAddiction Put cool carbon pads on & those rotors with stainless lines through out! They sell the titanium pins too! You'll be fine after that!

@@TheSpeedAddiction Oh you got the cool carbon pads. Yeah the heat is coming from the rotor. It gets so hot it transfers to the caliper. Buy those two piece rotors and stainless lines and watch the difference! Those floating calipers suck on the 1M. That car is no faster than a regular 135i. What 5 More H.P. ATW's. I'm running 535+H.P. at the wheels. I love my breaks...👍🏼🏁

@@TheSpeedAddiction ECS is selling all six stainless lines for $145 right now...👍🏼🏁

Appreciate the nice comment 👍

She really moves. Thanks for watching!

@@TheSpeedAddiction You're the man

I sold the car a couple of years ago. It made 510 whp on a dynojet. There’s another review of a 135i convertible with pure 600 turbos on my channel. Check it out.

Contact Pure Turbos

I think it was a leak from either the front main seal or the rear man seal. I sold the car before getting round to fixing it

@@TheSpeedAddiction if you mains are squealing then you are putting too much crankcase pressure into your engine, and need a PCV upgrade to seal the intake ports to crank case to prevent that from happening, OR simply block it off entirely and use a check valve system plumbed to the intake.

I think the front main seal was leaking

@@TheSpeedAddiction Ah I see. Thanks for the response I appreciate it. :)

Yes, they are basically 335i fitment turbos

@@TheSpeedAddiction cheers !

I sold the car last year but it was peaking at 24psi, tapering down to 22psi at redline

24 psi, Pure Turbos Pure 600 turbos, MHD custom tuned by Wedge Performance. No LSD but it desperately needs one :-). Check out the previous 135i video (March 2020) for more info..

I have the XHP Stage 3 flash with the shift speeds at their fastest settlings and the torque limiters removed. I also have a Burger Motorsports transmission cooler.

The Speed Addiction Very nice... the transmission cooler is necessary. I'm going to do something similar to my car. Thanks!

Yes

My car was a 2009, with a N54 engine. N54 135is were made between 2008-2013. The LCIs were made from 2011-2013 and they have the newer N55 engine. The model years I quoted are for US spec cars..

@@TheSpeedAddiction thanks I’ve have been trying to decide what I want to get and now I have decided. I will start looking for a 2009 135i with the n54 and the auto. Love the car you have built and hopefully one day I can have one like it! 👍

Please do your research on the things that fail on the N54 and how much it costs to fix them. They are getting older and more expensive to maintain. Also catastrophic failures are getting more common. If you value reliability above outright power, I suggest the newer N55 cars.

@@TheSpeedAddiction aaaaand recommending N55's aged like milk, they have rod bearing issues as well, and tighter tolerances. Yikes.

The car had a cracked valve cover when I attempted to dyno it so I never got a clean dyno run.

@@TheSpeedAddiction thanks a lot. Which one exactly? Do you have a link? I only found Tial Q BOVs for the N54

@@TheSpeedAddiction thank you so much. Did you upgrade the bov line to an 3/4 line?

No

Breyton Race GTS-R

I have upgraded my mic but I no longer have the 135i 🙃

Tial Sport 50mm

Yes. Spin city

Virtually the same as the stock turbos

@@TheSpeedAddiction sounds good! Thanks

I need to get a Draggy. Check out the Pure Turbos Instagram page. They have 60-120mph times of cars with similar mods

I no longer have the car unfortunately. It kept breaking which spoiled the fun. Moved onto the B58. I recently posted a video about my M240i

@@TheSpeedAddiction what broke? turbos?

London, England 🇬🇧

@@TheSpeedAddiction 👍

You found me 😄

Man’s having fun lol
