Face it bro. You bought the cheapest Bimmer you could get your hands on. It's a girls car. You see them every day. Congrats you've got all that monster torque you're looking for to rip it out of red lights and on freeway ramps. I'm really not sure what you need all this torque for. Are you towing a boat with your 135? Maybe you can fit a Chevy crate motor into that beast. It'll be as reliable as those high boost maps without supporting mods. If all you wanted was torque you may want to look into a Turbo diesel super duty pick-up. I hear those make about 600 lb-ft and redline at 3500 rpm. Just slap a BMW badge on the hood so the people at the gas station know you're still cool. Or maybe a "My other car is a range rover" bumper sticker. Either one.
