Vivid Racing’s Project 135I is taking on some serious mods on the inside and outside to try and hang with its big brother, Project 997TT. In VR fashion, its got to look good. So we had the car wrapped in Battleship Gray. A common question is about the paint. At anytime we can peel the wrap off and the paint is in perfect condition. The wrap is meant to last up to 5 years and at around $2000, a great alternative to paint. Before you might have noticed our HRE C90 wheels had a red time attack stripe on them, no more… The wheel outters are now all gloss black and we kept the flat black center. Blending well with the black roof fin, door handles, and front grills, we added some carbon bits. The car features iCarbon’s new aero parts for the 135I. This includes their aggressive rear diffuser, front lip, mirror covers, and trunk spoiler all in carbon fiber. The fitment, quality, and styling of these parts is flawless as seen on our YouTube Videos. The overall look is just amazing!
Now that we have our full Agency Power catless exhaust, new Agency Power intercooler, and other power mods, it was time to turn back to our intake system and upgrade that. With claims stouting 13hp and 15ft/lbs of torque, we had to try it out. The look, fitment, and quality of the Injen intake is great. Very clean and nothing less expected from one of the top intake manufactures. Upon driving the car, it simply rocked. You could feel the torque difference down low. Not to base our claims solely on the butt dyno, we will be doing a dyno test shortly to compare.
Up next… Turbo upgrade. Stay tuned!

The Injen Intake added 6HP and 5ft/lbs of torque over the previous intake.
So Pavillions this weekend??? yeah!!!!
The grey is growing on me. I think it would looked dope in like a Deep Navy or Crimson color.
Thats a wrap! Looks good, very cool
I think I need to see it in person, because it looks primer to me.
Hey I’m thinking of getting a BMW 135i to replace my BMW X5 3.0si, and was wondering if theres going to be some sick turbo kits for this car? Because I want this car to be my first project car and aiming for 500 WHP. Please tell me or I may end up buying an EVO X GSR
500 whp might be a little much? I don’t think I’ve seen/heard of a 135 or 335 making that much. Anything’s possible though.
I actually have 2 OEM turbos we are going to machine out and put bigger wheels in. Should have updates posted here. Right now my car makes on the Mustang Dyno 400crank.
Ya I know but there are some companies starting R&D on a tt kit for the N54 engine, like AMS and HPF. I don’t know but I think Vividracing teams up with Agency Power, so it would be bad ass if they made a tt kit for the N54.
Good thing I know the boss at Agency Power 🙂 Stay tuned!
Thats sick, wish I had connections like that.
