I think I'm the only one in the comment section who likes sunroofs! To me, it just looks nice and is nice to drive with it open. Of course if you're building a race/track car you don't need one, but for my daily E82 I actually like the sunroof.
I probably won't ever do this, but it's really cool to see how easy it is to do if I ever decided too.
God I love this car I can’t wait to get my own
Keep grinding til you've got one!
1 or 3 both are amazing brotha just make sure your rocking the N54 motor
U make me love my 135i so much more because of these amazing videos! Thank you so much!’
Glad you like them! I love hearing that. Keeps me going.
They have saved weight since an e36. I know my sunroof assembly weighs more than 32 lbs and it isn't even glass, just a metal panel. Thanks for the video. I need to delete my sunroof, it leaks in the rain ;)
Get 'er done!
Jake, I can’t tell you how much I enjoy watching the progress on your car! Thank you so much for sharing, and I also forgot to ask a while back, but it’s been a while and I should probably refer back to your headlight installation video, but is there somewhere I can buy the completed headlight unit? Or are those typically made custom? Thanks in advance! And keep up the great work!
Awesome! Thank you! I think you might be able to get the completed headlights from BayOptikz, check out their website.
@@jake_spence, you're the man! thank you!
Can you check if the moonroof assembly is attached to just the roof or the body rails? Wonder if doing this will affect the structural rigidity?
nice!!!!! that looks cool and that was actually pretty good info you just gave me my sunroof cover derail and the fabric fall of my car so i have to take it out to fix it so thanks for the diy 😂👍🏾
This car looks better and better bro. Awesome job!
I'm excited to get my wheel from NRW that I ordered from their black Friday sale. Apparently they have a massive backlog of work from the sale. They look like great quality products though.
Yup, he sounds like he's busy as heck! Hopefully you get it soon.
@EZ SLIDE yeah its been a hot minute. I guess they got a bunch of orders from the sale. The steering wheels are beautiful. Last I asked about it they said its nearing the end of their 23 step process.
Take all that extra weight and add it to your body my guy lol , love the vids
Where are you located in Wisconsin? I live way up north, Im gonna guess you down by Wisconsin dells? Also, That new roof really take a lot of weight off! Good video bro!!
Thanks! I'm up towards Green Bay area.
Love the build man! I’ve been watching your videos for awhile and I just pulled the trigger on a 135 a few months ago. I do have a question though.
How does it seal? I unfortunately do not have a garage and the vehicle will get rained on.
I'm searching for a sunroof carbon fiber panel for my 2016 Focus ST that doesn't cost 2.6K$ Can you help me?
How are the water leaks on it? Assuming there’s no seal or drain hooked back up
It initially leaked a few drops during heavy rain, but NRW assured me this was fixed in newer batches. I got a beta test product. I sealed it up with a little sealant and reseated it and it's been good.
Wow Jake, that's quite a lot of weight! Dutch regards, Nico
Best 135i out there!
Thanks Landon!
What length did you use for the self tapping screws?
Jake when removing the main dome light with sunroof switch the airbag light stays on for passenger side how did you remove the light or did you just leave it on // good diy its what got me to do mine on my 135, thank you!
Amazing work, I was afraid you were gonna put too much stuff back, but you didn't!
Now make a vid of how noisy it is. |Just curious. Still worth it even if it is noisy
Thanks! Check out my recent POV driving video I uploaded a few weeks ago. It shows how loud everything is and gives a great experience of what it's like to drive this car.
@@jake_spence I just did and man does it sound sick!
Man it’s been a while since I checked in on the car and wow you’ve gone full blown race car!! Nice stuff
Did you ever weigh when you had it gutted?
After watching a lot of your vids it made me want a 135i. Picked up one Saturday and now I’m looking to buy a few things for it. What rear diffuser do you have? I looked through your vids hoping to find a link but no luck.
Awesome! Glad to hear that, man. Enjoy it. Here is the diffuser I have: ebay.to/2RGQiEz
Hey Jake, Nice work. Car is looking killer. Just wondering if you used any sealant or just straight bolted the panel up? Any issues with water leaks?
I'm planning on doing this to my 335 track car.
Thanks! I didn't use any sealant at first and got a few drops during heavy rain. I removed and reseated it with some sealant and everything has been good since!
Were not the 1M equipped with full carbon roofs? I cannot remember.
I don't think so, but they didn't have a sunroof.
How did you remove the rear seat belt tensioner without getting an airbag light?
Watching a year later and I wanna do this to my e90. But I actually use my sunroof. 🤔.
I take it its not going to keep water out?
What else is on the list to bring the weight down?
Are you going to scale the car again?
So I installed a carbon fiber roof from m3 slick top on my e92 335i I need help finding the right headliner
Does the sunroof model weigh more than if it was without
How you code off the sunroof code that pop off since you disconnected the sunroof off?
Great video buddy. Hey can you recommend a good Halo Headlights replacement to my 128i? it has OEM halogen Headlights so.. One that could be just put & play.
Thanks! Do you have OEM angel eye rings already? Or no rings at all? I can't remember if the halogen headlights come with halogen angel eye bulbs as well.
@@jake_spence Thanks for your quick response and taking time to response. Well no Halo at all Lol mines are OEm Halogen. So I'm trying to give a little upgrade to my 128i .
@@jake_spence If you can remember it just recommend any it would be very kind of you
This dude actually did a holy shit handle delete
Have you ever flipped an e36
Nice mod !!
Thank you!
Also dude, eat breakfast first thing man. Most important meal of the day :p
True, I should probably do that, lol.
What is the total weight reduction so far?
I think around 300lbs. I'm going to weigh it again soon after all of these mods.
So now you got run the 1/4 mile and see if you got 0.3 seconds faster.
Holy 300 lbs? What is the stock weight of the 135i?
What about water
sexiest 1 series out there. keep going! love from Maine
Thanks man! I appreciate that.
Why is the video so jumpy ? Looks laggy. I tested 3 other videos and they were fine
I got a new camera and filmed the intro and outro in 24FPS instead of 30FPS. I figured it out afterwards, so shouldn’t have this issue moving forward.
Sit back relax and give like👍
You already know what's up!
"I'm bustin ass this morning"
I was 😅
Gotta feel good to drop that weight
Oh it does!
Bro... make it 1M body kit.
How much weight has the car lost ?
300lbs according to another comment he replied to.
I can't believe you weigh 142lbs 😳🤣
there are tons of youtubers that I assume are way bigger than they are haha
Critikal is one of the ones that come to mind, dude is like 5'2" but sounds and looks pretty big.
@@von... Honestly, I didn't mean in terms of youtubers per say, I meant just as a man, in general.
I was 140 pounds in what...6th grade? Lol.
It's just kind of ironic that hes worried about weight reduction, when his body IS actually weight reduction 😅 in terms of grown men.
No hate at all, love the channel :)
Dream build is a e92 swap 135is.
What's an E92 135is? The 135is comes with an N54 which also comes in the 335i and 335is.
Jake Spence I was saying i want a 135IS with an e92 engine swap
@@matt2m are you saying that a 135is comes with a N54 & you want to swap a N55 into it? or vice versa (RE: the engines)? because I think we are N54 bois around here, at least with the current aftermarket support. I personally am going to make the jump to a B58 car and just avoid the N55 all together tbh.
Ohhhhhh!!!!! He wants to put the s54 or whatever it's called from the E92 M3 into the 135is x3
@@von... naw he wants to put that s54 V8 from the e92 m3 in there. That's the only thing I can think of. Because the 135is and the 335is both have the N54T motor that is the better tuned n54 which obviously the 535i the 135i and the 335i have
12kg is a bit of weight. $100 it pulls out at 150mph.
I've already done 170mph a handful of times without an issue!
Nice build my guy, have you ever considered fabricating the rear guards a bit wider? Everytime I watch your videos it hurts me inside to see the rear guards so skinny even a proper 1M's rear guards are too narrow in my opinion. If anyone's going to do a good job it's you. I know your performance focused but it's like an itch I can't scratch. I would choose a blend of the design languages used from 3.0 csl" bat mobile" E30 M3, E46 GT-R and z4 Gt3. Otherwise It's like seeing a pretty girl with a flat ass. 🤙
Thanks! I've thought about it for sure. If anything, I will probably go with a 1M style widebody at some point. I love the clean look of those 1Ms. But I like your aggressive idea too.
@@jake_spence Awesome my man, great content. Best of luck.
Time for you to hit the gym. 32 lbs... 😋
Dammit I was hoping to be 1st comment..... noooooooo don't remove the sunroof😭 I guess it's for your goal though
Gotta be quicker next time! And yeah, I don't even miss it lol.
Dope, just started modifying my 435i. I posted a video if yall wanna check it out
Great vid, love the car and your channel. I would "like" this video, but its currently at 135 likes, and I don't want to be the one to change that right now. Keep up the good work! Check out my channel if you like some JDM content. Currently have some autocross vids with my Lexus SC400. If you haven't autocrossed your 135i yet I highly recommend it! Stay safe broski
