New 135i - Cell Phone Pictures and First Observations

BucksCty135i · 02-01-2012, 02:27 PM

1. The exhaust burble from the PPK is real, and very noticeable, even when driving slowly in first gear at around 4K RPM.
2. The throttle blip sounds great when down shifting the DCT.
3. Upon downshifting, you also hear a bit of a "pop" out of the exhaust.
4. I love BMWPedals.com, and so did everyone at my dealership.
5. What are the odds I take delivery on January 31st, and am driving around today in 65 degree weather.
6. The more aggressive offsets of the KM11 (winter wheels) pushes them out and fills the wheel well more than the 261Ms.

I will hopefully be able to take out the real camera sometime in the next few days and get some better pictures.

nice man, love the pedals

Great color choice!

B50 · 02-01-2012, 03:37 PM

is that 4k in 1st gear driving slowly ?

BucksCty135i · 02-01-2012, 04:13 PM

Yes, 4k in first gear can't be more than 20 MPH?? But if I lift at 4200 or 4500, the exhaust burbles very nicely.

the pedals are hot!

Gotta say, those pedals are pretty sweet...think I might have to follow suit.

I'm about to get the Stage 1 PPK myself...can't wait. The burble is a nice fringe benefit - but I'm looking forward to the added power and torque, of course.

Agreed. Since I'm babying it during break-in I can't comment on the power yet, just the exhaust note, which is definitely different from the stock car.

Congrats!

My girl is another 96 days away and the wait is killing me.

terrapen73 · 02-02-2012, 02:01 AM

Very nice car. Congratulations!!

@machiavelli9988: I am down to 72 days now. This wait is killing me too. Be strong, we will make it.

Nice pedals dude

Love the KM 11's for Winter...I may have to change

mblaucoupe135 · 02-02-2012, 07:02 PM

I thought the exhaust burble was more noticeable on my car before I got the ppk and just had the perf exhaust.

Very typical high altitude behavior.

Love the steroid shot the PPK gives my 2010 Step.
Those are nice pedals. First time Im seeing them mounted. Might have to get them myself.

Thank Ken1137 above, who had his pedals engraved like this... so we all pay less now that the set up work has already been done.
