About this time every year, we pack up the Evo’s and go buy something “different” for winter and toy with them. Well, it’s that time of year again and this time around… 2010 BMW 135i Twin Turbo I6 with the M Sport paddle shifters. “Things” are already on order 🙂 ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_bmw_135i/135i_1.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_bmw_135i/135i_1.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_bmw_135i/135i_2.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_bmw_135i/135i_2.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_bmw_135i/135i_3.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_bmw_135i/135i_3.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_bmw_135i/135i_4.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_bmw_135i/135i_4.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_bmw_135i/135i_5.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_bmw_135i/135i_5.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_bmw_135i/135i_6.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_bmw_135i/135i_6.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_bmw_135i/135i_7.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_bmw_135i/135i_7.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_bmw_135i/135i_8.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_bmw_135i/135i_8.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_bmw_135i/135i_9.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_bmw_135i/135i_9.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_bmw_135i/135i_10.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_bmw_135i/135i_10.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_bmw_135i/135i_11.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_bmw_135i/135i_11.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_bmw_135i/135i_12.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_bmw_135i/135i_12.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_bmw_135i/135i_13.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_bmw_135i/135i_13.jpg) Stay Tuned. ---

Thanks! We have a Cobb on the way, when it gets here I’ll have some more info. And I don’t know about the M badges. They are on the rear of the car, steering wheel, door jam guards and on each wheel. It’s a very nice car. Responsive, tight, the motor sounds great and very comfortable. I’m a fan. We will take good care of her. ---

Thanks Jeller… that explains why the rear badge is peeling up just a little on the corner. I thought that was weird. I actually like the auto. We drove the 335 in the 6 speed and I didn’t really like the feel of it. In sport mode the 135 shifts instantly. I kinda like it. It’s fun. The brakes in this car are awesome. I still have a lot of reading to do… I don’t even know what n54/n55 means yet ☹ Tell you what, I’ll just drive the thing and take pictures. ---

No prob^ Not a fan of the rear badging as it belongs on “M” cars. 2010 135’s depending on build date could have either the N54 (twin turbo) or N55 (single turbo, but top of the engine will say “twin power” but it is a single turbo, I think its a twin scroll actually). N54 will have slightly better numbers with some modding. Jeller ---

Nice numbers, bet that woke the car up a bit, gotta love the low end torque for around town :tup: Some Downpipes, intercooler and a bit more tuning and you should see about 350whp/400wtq on pump with the mustang dyno. The N54 community really needs a single turbo kit/fueling for this motor, the wait is killing me. ---

It’s a 7 speed on either of these. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/stms-winter-toy-2010-bmw-135i/219248.md?page=2)
