2013 BMW 135i 'S65 V8 Swap'

Overview

While it may appear mostly stock from the outside, this E82 135i M-Sport is packing a S65 V8 with a DCT transmission from an E9x M3. Built to appear as if it were optioned from the factory, it also benefits from a full suspension swap from the E9x M3. Inside, M2 Competition seats complete the look and a Dinan exhaust provides an improved soundtrack. All components were sourced from a low-mileage donor car, and the rod bearings and throttle actuators have been addressed.
