AMS Playing around with a 135i...pics inside

Eric@AMS · 11-25-2008, 12:17 PM

One of our friends at the shop picked up a 135i and brought it in for some suspension work so we thought we would take some pics of the car while it was here. He got a bit over zealous in a turn and messed up his drivers rear corner but we got him all patched up. This is also the car will be using to prototype many of our parts for the 135i.

First came the KW variant 2 suspension and sway bar

Now install the buggers. You can see the hub is out as we had to replace it. Curb - 1 135i hub - 0 LOL

And now the finished product and some really nice pictures from our in house photographer, Rich!

Looking good, are the products your going to make for the 335i going to fit the 135i (i.e. turbo upgrade,dp's,etc)

Eric@AMS · 11-25-2008, 12:24 PM

If possible we are going to try to make them one in the same. If it requres a separate part we will look into it based on demand. We are approaching them as the same car and trying to make parts that will fit both when possible.

very nice.....not loving the wheels but that car is going to be blast to drive!

Mr. 5 · 11-25-2008, 12:48 PM

How fun was that rear sway bar install?

I'd have to say that the rear sway install on the 335 was probably the hardest thing that I've done.

Hey Eric,

Whats the reason behind using the KW V2 instead of the KW V3 or TC KLINE?

From the work i've seen from you guys, a daily driver was never a priority

Speedtrap · 11-25-2008, 02:34 PM

Would love to see the BMP performance seats, etc installed in this

it was actually at the customers request. This is his daily driver actually...as much as we wanted to make it a race car...he wasn't too keen on it LOL

oh it is, its a Porsche we are building for Time attack for one of our local customers. It weighs about 2300 lbs and makes 600 plus wheel horsepower.

addy85 · 11-25-2008, 05:23 PM

I like the body of the 135 but I think the headlights look like ass. Other then that I like it

nice work!
