Vehicle Details
You are looking at Tomato. I’ve owned Tomato for around 3 years. It’s a phenomenal example of a Sedona Red 135i BMW which has the venerable N54 motor. I’ve turned tomato into a 1M on a cycle of steroids while smoking meth…strong and FAST! This car isn’t even close to stock. Before I get into all the go fast while staying on the road fun, I’ll delve into the history. I had the car shipped in from the Midwest. It was on a stock tune till around 110,000 miles. Car has never seen snow, salt, and really hasn’t seen much rain. The underside is pristine. Other than a little surface rust on a few of the suspension nuts, the car is 100% rust/rot free. I mention this because as the N54 era cars get up in age the areas where the subframe mounts to the frame rust develops. I’ve owned 8 N54 cars and currently own 5. I mention this because I know what I’m doing as far as maintaining and building them. Car leaks zero oil, coolant, transmission fluid. This has been my best build to date. The last built N54 I sold the new owner said it was the fastest things he has ever driven, and it was almost too fast. This car is both lighter and faster than that one. Oil has been meticulously changed every 2-3000 miles. I only run Mobil 1 0W-40 in all my BMWs, Porsches, and McLarens. Never had any engine issues with any of them due to the frequency of oil changes. In the last 5000 miles the following has been done:

Car is VERY fast. Will spin the tires in 4th on cooler days/nights. Does hook up very well. Boost is limited in 1st & 2nd gear. 25psi in all other gears. Car will run a 10 second 1/4 mile. Car has never been tracked. It is fully loaded as far as options go. Heated & power seats, moon roof, navigation, tinted rear and side mirrors, factory oil cooler. Car has zero vibrations under acceleration, at ANY cruising speed, or under braking. The driver's front tire rubs very slightly at slow speeds over bumps. All lights, blinkers, and electronics work as they should. No warning lights or maintenance needed on the dash. Doesn’t bother me at all but if you went 1 size smaller on the front tires it wouldn’t rub. There are rock chips on the hood. There is a small dent on the driver's door where someone opened their door into it. Could probably be fixed by a good dent wizard, and if I didn't point it out it would be hard to see. The previous owner used touch up paint in a couple spots. I’ll get close up pictures and post them. The black vinyl wrap on the roof is starting to fade. You can remove it or have it redone. Has new floor mats. Lastly the wiper squirter doesn’t work. I never drive the car in weather where I would need it. Can shake it down and fix it at the new owner's request. Car is a blast to drive and looks great. When I finish a build I sell the car and this car is finished unless you want a fully built motor. I have one for another car that has been built for 1000 wheel horsepower. Can discuss with the new owner installing if they want as the car is already setup for that kind of power from a fueling and turbo standpoint. I estimate 700 at the wheels right now. Can dyno it if you would like. Mileage may increase as I do drive it occasionally to keep it running well. Car must be paid in full within 48 hours of auction end. Have flexibility with when it needs to be picked up.
