Was thinking of throwing nitrous into my car to pull into the low 11's... but I just hate the squeaking/rattling that comes after you start gutting your interior and putting it back together.... it just never is the same so I can't come around to doing serious weight reduction

LUCKILY... I have a buddy with a FBO+METH plus stupidly weight reduced 135i willing to give nitrous a shot.... come spring time it should be ready to do some damage.

We tried it a couple weeks ago, but were finding it too difficult to comfortably maintain traction at WOT even in 3rd so it was hard to get solid runs in.




Power cutoff is there due to the nitrous and AT correct?
Yes, it is too much for the trans to spray during shifts. Would be awesome if the trans could take it, but I don't think it would survive eventually.

Driving with seats out is no big deal. No rattles, and car is more lively. It actually makes it easier to carry my new 5 gallon meth cans on the RF floor area, LOL.
