My name is Jake Spence and I'm a BMW enthusiast and content creator. Lots of unique content so be sure to subscribe!

I enjoy N54-powered BMW's the most, including the 135i and 335i. After owning dozens of them, there isn't much I haven't done to them. From my single turbo 135i that I've owned for almost 10 years, to my new LS-swap project... you'll find content on this channel that you won't find anywhere else.

    STOCK 300hp BMW beats a sports bike that does 0-60 in the same time as a McLaren F1, quarter mile in 10.8, and a 0-200kmh time of 6.9 seconds, the same as a 2020 Audi R8 V10 (AutotopNL stats). Damn, I gotta get me a 135i.

    Bro seriously no one wants to hear your business model or whats going to get looked at. I would personally rather watch a dude who is passion driven with a go pro strapped to his head fixing his bimmer over some scheme to cuck as much money out of his channel. Just being honest

    How long did these bulbs last? I've heard some people say they've had to change them within or shortly after a year. It's not a job I want to have to do again. haha.

    Hi, my car sits low but is not AWD. Do I have to elevate the car to install snow chains. I tried to do it without lifting it, but so far after many hours I could not do it. I think the fact that it is always an upward angle and cold as hell in the mountains does affect. Thank you.

    Just did mine. Had a cylinder 3 misfire, swapped coils with #2 and the misfire followed. There was definitely some quirks to this job. That strut tower brace was really in the way so I had to move mine. Most importantly though the stupid plug socket I got from ECS wouldn’t fit any of my extensions. So I had to literally hammer one In and now that’s my permanent BMW plug extension. Also, I was also surprised that the coil tubes were at a slight angle to the plugs. The socket and extension don’t go perfectly straight in. I also had a scare with #6 - plug was WAY too tight. That’s what you get with a mystery used car though I guess. I’m an old school shade tree diy guy, haven’t messed with older cars in a long time though, 20 years? Was surprised that anti seize was NOT recommended. Back in my day in the 1900s anti seize was a must. Parts store guy had never even heard of it. Glad I googled it.

    With my injectors I decided to go ahead and get them professionally cleaned and tested, way way cheaper than buying used. they are so so pricey. and if you want brand new direct from BMW then get your wallet out!

    question; if my car is already tuned on whatever sparkplugs are in there, but i dont know the gap size, can i just check the gap size on the old ones or do i need to just find whats recommended and then re-tune my car? i dont know how specific the new ones needs to be gapped to make sure the tuned car is running the same. (im an n54 single turbo)

    Hey so glad to see you here!! YAY! Jake I really enjoyed watching you work on the car and seeing the oil leak as well so I don't feel like mine are so bad LOL. So on the yellow coolant. IT'S NOT NECESSARILY INCORRECT COOLANT! There are now other companies making coolant that is made with the BMW and other car model Brands etc specs. I've bought and used more than one type myself. They actually say one the bottles what cars they are for AND they don't cost $80 a jug! One brand is yellow of the BMW another is almost a green color,

    You can also get "pilot pins" to help with installing the wheels. their like temporary studs that just thread in. just 2 of them is enough to get the wheel on easily. this conversion is also a good idea
