We here at TopSpeed sat back and watched for a year while people started to mod the 135s. Piggyback units have pretty much dominated the market in aftermarket tuning for the cars since there aren’t alot of shops with the technology or the knowledge to reprogram the factory BMW DME. Seeing the potential that the N54 inline 3.0 liter 6 cylinder had, we decided it was time to start development. We started by just adding some aesthetic parts to make the car ours, and set apart from the stock look. Next we dove right in and went to work on recalibrating the factory BMW DME to find some power. After months of development and rigorous street and track testing we have dialed in the baseline Stg0 TopSpeed reflash. Unlike the piggyback units we have full control over timing, fuel, limiters, boost and all other aspects of this very complex DME. We have been able to achive outstanding hp/tq numbers along with uncompromised reliability with our flash, and better fuel mileage just to put the icing on the cake.
TopSpeed currently has full exhaust systems being developed and produced for the 135 and 335s that we have tested, and will release our Stg1 numbers and flash when the products are ready for shipping.
We are very excited about the advancement into the BMW market, and plan to have alot of fun with our 135 this year. Future plans consist of a full set of JRZ shocks, custom made wheels, upgraded rear diff, and of course more power! Keep checking back to watch the bar continue to be raised for the 135s by TopSpeed’s team!
