Code 3 Intercooler Kit Powers Up Project 135I
Vivid Racing's 135I BMW is quite the little machine. We have been focusing on all the key elements of a daily driver. Suspension, Power, Styling have each been achieved. For a while now we have had stock of the Code 3 Intercooler kits which fit the 135I and 335I. So we finally got the time here at the Vivid Racing shop to install one. The install was fairly straight forward and took about 3 hours. Even on the Steptronic the fitment was no issue. You can see side by side the pure brute of the Code 3 Intercooler compared to the stock unit. Being in Arizona, it is very important to keep the system running cool and the efficiency at top level. The bar and plate intercooler was an OEM fit with only minor modifications needed. Once behind the stock bumper it is almost undetectable to the eye. Once the installation was complete, we strapped the 135I to our Mustang dyno to give it a test run. Running the JB3 ECU and 91 octane, the intercooler was a HUGE improvement. Adding 24 ft/lbs of torque and 16 rear wheel horsepower is an impressive gain. Around 4700 to 5300 rpm the horsepower was increased by over 20! Great product and a must have for those looking to continue the modification process.
Check out all the pictures of our Project 135I Here.

Not right now. Doing a Nav Unit, carbon interior, and front lip on the car then shooting it for Bimmer. Car is fast as hell actually. I would like to add the downpipes next. The 997TT is doing plenty of power so I like keeping the 135I good for DD.
