BMW 135i with a Supercharged S65 V8

Yusuf Achmat from A-Team Racing built this BMW 135i E82 using a lot of parts from a E92 M3. Under the hood he swapped a 4.0 L S65B40 V8 boosted by an ESS Tuning supercharger kit. The combo produces 410 kW (549 hp) and 500 Nm (368 lb-ft) of torque. Behind the motor is the E92 M3 seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. A BMW M4 carbon fiber driveshaft sends the power to the E93 M3 rear differential. Yusuf also swapped the E92 M3’s front and rear subframes and suspension. He then upgraded the handling using Ksport adjustable coilovers and Vari six-piston brakes. Listen to Jacob Moshokoa and Ciro De Siena from Cars.co.za test drive the car and interview Yusuf.
