I would think that any shakes at higher speeds in general are caused by rotational masses - like tires and wheels, in first place. Engine mounts should mainly feel as excessive vibrations, not really related to car's speed. So in your case it seems like something else is making the car shake.

@user-sm8hx1zk2v I see. So the wheels and tires are good, not bent and are balanced? I had bad balancing of tires in the past. The next thing is to check if all mounting surfaces are clean - hub's, wheels and brake discs surfaces. Wheel bolts are torqued properly and evenly? After that wheel hub bearings should be checked. After THAT - I would check differential bushings. I'm also assuming that all the control arms are in ok shape? Rear upper rearward control arm has a ball joint on the inner end, that often wears out and starts to exhibit an excessive play. Let me know what you find out!

That's cool, I've been wanting to buy a 135 for a number of years now... I imagine that 135i being a turbo engine, sounds different with the similar changes to the piping. Thinking about updating midpipes - to get rid of secondary cats. Or I should just move on to N55 or B58.
@robertpurvis610625 күн бұрын
@@maxsam201 True the turbo makes everything different. There are noticeable differences between the n54 and n55 tones in the 135i. Popular upgrade for n54 135i is to swap mids. the n55 mids don't have secondary cats. people with n55 will take out resonator and put a y pipe. If you have catless the resonator helps with rasp. Some changes make turbo sound louder. I tried catless for 2 months and it was great but the smell got to me so I went with a race cat. I got my n55 6 yrs ago used so It was affordable. Now the b58 is affordable. I would look for a F series if I started over. Only thing I don't like is the steering is electronic instead of hydraulic. B58 can make more power than N55 and probably sounds better.

@maxsam201Ай бұрын
As far as I recall, BMW says that it needs to be around 14.5 V, which is alternator's voltage, which is in turn the nominal voltage in the industry. This charger adjusts to a minimum of 14.2 V even though it says "15", so it works fine for me. I charged multiple cars with it, other bmws, never had a problem. In my opinion, 15V is still safe - car's system is designed to handle a certain range - depending on the conditions of the devices, the climate / season / weather. BUT - if you don't feel confident or safe with this voltage - then don't do it. Try to find something else that can produce the exact recommended voltage.

Most are going to try to screw you up, mess the car up and you end up being disappointed as a minimum.
The whole setup looks great! I am going to do mine in the British Summer ❤ your videos helps me out loads!
Thanks! It can be fun haha. I'm still trying to decide on the front springs conversion - I like the idea of going with 60 mm springs on the struts.
If this bushing goes out, it squeeks ?
That is probably highly unlikely, unless they are very worn out and are really dry. But they can clunk and such. But that would be hard to hear. In most cases these are diagnosed be by checking for a free play / excessive movement withing the ball joint. Or ripped dust seals.
Any chance your willing to part with your old setup for a reasonable price?
Yeah. I have no plans for that H&R kit, can let it go.
What brand is the new driveshaft?
Here is one place that sells aftermarket driveshafts: www.driveshaftspecialist.com/Import%20html/BMW.html
I find it interesting that coil springs in this setup are not captive I have only really seen coilovers and 4x4 springs which are always attached at both the top and bottom of the spring
Well, it is what it is, and it works, I guess. I'm not sure I have a clear understanding of what you're describing, I should look it up.
