Im wondering why VW did not tune this more effectively... seems the turbo had plenty more top end to give :)

I had a little run in with one of these the other night with my 135.
The guy in the VW was battling to get his launch control set up,but once he got it right that thing got out of the blocks like crazy:=):

Haha!!

Dunno bud. VW detune their cars horribly! Maybe they know that we will 'play' with them! Lol!

The launch control is crazy. Once used the R flys like a missile from the line!!

Was this guy trying to launch on a slight uphill. The car has sensors for the hill start assist. If on a slight uphill, Launch control will not engage. It engages on a flat surface.

Thanks for the comments guys!! :ty:

About the M135i... Sure its an awesome car but I wanted AWD and one can still take a chance with modding a VW... Mods is possible with some getting away. Warranty super strict on a BMW..

Nice to see someone actually taking time to research aftermarket performance brands. When i was in a VW (mkiv GTi) and i told people about APR and brands from over the pond most people thought i was nuts!

Wicked ride man!
