This "full bolt-on" BMW 135i runs the JB4 tune that so many BMW enthusiasts keep telling me to try, a blend of ethanol, and a coilover suspension on good tires.

Allow us to introduce you to Sam and his single turbo BMW 135i. Sam is living proof that age ain't nothing but a number... Sam may look young, but he has the passion and drive of a legend. This 20 year old has more experience on the track than most car enthusiasts in their 30's. Listen in as we get an in-depth look into Sam's 135i build and why he chose to go single turbo. We'll also hear what got him into this build, and what he's done to it so far. This mildly modded car is proof that it's not always about how much parts you have under the hood, but how well you can handle it. Enjoy!
