In 2014 Performance Technic<\/a> built this 2008 BMW 135i (E82) with a 4.0 L S65 V8. Then in 2015 the car received a Dinan stroked 4.6 L S65 V8. The drivetrain uses an E92 M3 six-speed manual transmission and BMW Motorsport limited-slip differential with 4.10 ratio. The car’s suspension starts with M3 front and rear subframes. It adds a \u00d6hlins TTX36 coilovers, E9X M3 electronically assisted hydraulic steering rack, monoball front control arms, Dinan sway bars, and Bimmerworld rear wishbones. Braking is handled by StopTech Trophy six-piston front calipers with 380 mm rotors in front and four-piston calipers and 355 mm rotors in back. Covering those are Carbon Revolution CR9 carbon fiber 19-inch wheels. The body features Alpine White (300) paint and OEM 1M fenders, side mirrors, and bumper covers. It also has RevoZport carbon fiber roof, trunk lid, diffuser, and splitter. You can view more photos and specs in the Bring a Trailer listing<\/a>. <\/p>\n
