Birds Upgrades
The current owner worked with Birds, the renowned BMW tuning specialists, to elevate the car’s handling, grip, and responsiveness:
• B-Series Sports Suspension – Custom Bilstein dampers & Eibach springs, fine-tuned for UK roads by ex-racer James Weaver and chassis engineer Pete Weston. This setup delivers sharp handling without sacrificing ride comfort.
• Quaife ATB Limited-Slip Differential (LSD) – This gear-based LSD enhances traction and cornering stability by transferring power to the wheel with the most grip. Unlike traditional LSDs, it’s maintenance-free and works silently & seamlessly with BMW’s electronics and carries a lifetime guarantee.
These upgrades transform the 135i into a genuinely thrilling driver’s car, closing the gap to the M2 in terms of handling precision and engagement.
