Did you see the box on the last video? Glad someone is paying attention! Lol.

Thoughts on the new background music? I love all the feedback I can get on these videos. Good or bad.

I was just ribbing ya lol. I like it though, digging the chill beat

Nice review on the PI kits debating if I should go with BMP or the Sharp manifold. what are the pro's and con's between sandwich plate vs Manifold?

The eos comes with those studs I'm pretty sure.

Thanks! Towards the end of the video I explained my thoughts on PI spacer vs. intake manifold. I’d love a Doc Race manifold when it’s finally released. My only concern with the spacer setup is that is creates twice as many spots for leaks. A manifold would eliminate that concern and would replicate the factory setup. The injector angle in a port injection intake manifold is better too, but that doesn’t bother me as much. And lastly, the upgraded intake manifolds look awesome. The factory plastic manifold is a bit of an eye sore in my opinion.

Congrats on getting her up and running; looks great! I believe there's already info out there, but maybe a quick "tips and tricks" segment on installing the DOC kit.

Good idea! I might make a general overview of the car and the kit, could throw in some good bits of info in there.

Another video. This time including a cold start (grumpy) and first datalog review...

Not exactly a 135i update, but I bought another N54 car. I have three of them now!

You really do a good job with these, keep it up! Stay down to earth and they should continue to be watchable!

Thank you sir! My goal is to bring honest, cool BMW content. As long as I keep doing that, I'll be happy.

Again, not a 135i update, but I fixed that cheap 335i I just bought and announced the sale price winners!

 

[suspenceful]

Here is some video content for you guys!

And a few recent pictures...

While I waited on my custom exhaust to be finished on the 135i, I modded my daily 335i!

In case anyone wants to know how much money I've wasted on this turd...

“How much did it cost to go single turbo?” I get asked this question all the time, so I made a video that answers it. Every penny I spent and a parts list of EVERYTHING you need!

Yes, it's kinda long. But you can watch at 2x speed if you click the video settings gear icon.

Hey guys! Some of you might recognize my build or my YouTube channel.

Anyways, I've been dialing in my single turbo 135i with JB4 and loving every minute of it. When I'm not behind the wheel, I've been working on a project that I'm really excited to share with you guys! I designed a website with some BMW & N54 merchandise that I've been printing in my basement for the last couple weeks.

I created BimmerStreet and all of the designs you see on it, so you won't find them anywhere else. I figured this would be the perfect place to share it! I even created a 10% discount code for this forum, just enter SPOOLSTREET at checkout.

I'd love to hear your thoughts/feedback! Browse around, try to break the site, etc. If for some reason this post isn't allowed, please let me know.

To see a few of the actual products (and some cool drone footage), check out this video I put together last night:

WHAT WHAT! I love the idea of a TIMYOYO coozie. Wonder if there's another more clever slogan for it though. I like to party is kinda like saying "hold my beer"

And careful with copyright infringement. One of your Tshirt designs (as awesome as it is) might not be totally kosher.
