Let me grab my flame suit in advance as I have a feeling this may turn ugly rather quickly. When it comes to modern BMW engines (lets define modern as engines produced by BMW after the year 2000) there are two engines that stand out to me. Two engines that hopefully represent the future of…
Front mounted intercoolers are extremely important applications on turbocharged cars. Intercoolers cool the compressed air created from the turbochargers, reducing the temperature and increasing the density of the air that is fed into the engine. Cooling the air makes the air more oxygen rich, therefore improving the combustion in the engine by allowing more fuel…
Today we are bringing you a guide on how to perform a BMW E90 oil change. The car in the pictures is a 2006 325i, but the process and general location of oil filter and drain bolt are the same across all E90’s (and E91/92/93’s), including the 328i and 335i, and other models. This guide…
Here is our do-it-yourself guide on how to replace your BMW N54 vanos solenoids when they fail (not if). For a quick recap, the vanos system is responsible for opening and closing the intake and exhaust valves. Bad solenoids will result in poor performance, rough idling, limp mode, loss of power, inability to accelerate….it basically…
Tires are arguably the simplest, most effective method to help your BMW perform better on the street or track. As we all know, tires are the only part of a vehicle that physically touch the road while driving (hopefully). Acceleration, braking, handling, steering, and comfort are all determined by your cars tires. For this reason,…

We have been waiting for the first 900hp N54, and one company claims to have broken this barrier. Today we are bringing you a post of the 7 fastest N54’s in the world. The dreams of setting…
The BMW N54 engine might be the best tuner engine of all time…at least we think so. Before we even get started, I’m going to drop a plug for a soon-to-come post on why the N54 engine is better and more tuner friendly than a 2JZ. Hopefully I can get some Toyota fans to read…
Before purchasing a turbocharged 135i, 335i or 535i it is important to consider the differences between the N54 and N55-powered BMWs. The N54 began production in 2006 and first appeared in the 2007 BMW 335i; in 2008, the N54 was introduced along with the 135i and 535i. BMW’s N55 engine began production in 2009 and…
This guide brought to you by BMW N54 Tuners will explain what the VANOS system is, the importance of the technology, and most importantly when and why it should be replaced or rebuilt. The VANOS system has been used in many variations of BMW engines since 1992. For tuning and driving enjoyability purposes, it is…
So you’ve probably had this warning light come on before, and if you haven’t…you will. It typically will trigger when you’re making a turn. If you’re at all a stickler for having a clean dash like I am, it will drive you nuts. It can also cause your turn signal to not automatically reset after…
Today we are covering a common failure with our cars, the head unit display/radio. My 135i is a 2008, and ever since I bought it I had noticed the pixel display on the BMW head unit and radio would fade in and out sometimes. Sometimes it was perfectly fine, other times you couldn’t make out…
I’m dubbing my 600hp 135i build out “Dementor”. Why? Dementors brought hell to everything in Harry Potter, sucking the souls out of wizards. With 600hp, my 135i is going to bring hell to just about everything else on the road. It might take a little bit of time for it to live up to its…
