Here we have some pictures and a short video of a BMW 135i modified by the Chicago tuning firm WheelSTO. The song in the video is ‘Give Me That Slow Knowing Smile,’ by singer Lisa Ekdahl and it highlights the new features of the car. Driving through famed Blues Brothers and Batman locale Lower Wacker Drive, this WheelSTO Project 1 version 1.2 was introduced over the summer. Starting off with a six cylinder 3.0-liter twin turbo BMW 135i, the tuners increased the horsepower to 414 from the stock 300 hp. WheelSTO also offers performance packages to boost the BMW model to either 376 or 327 horsepower if desired.

The latest project from Vivid Racing has been completed on the BMW 135i which received several modifications to try and hang with their previous Porsche Twin-Turbo project. Not only does the car perform inside, but looking good on the exterior was also a requirement. Vivid Racing hooked it up with a new aero kit from iCarbon, featuring a new front lip, aggressive rear diffuser, mirror covers, and trunk lip spoiler all made of carbon fiber. Becoming even more popular in the tuning scene are car wraps to give the vehicles a unique look, while also protecting the paint. This BMW 135i was wrapped in a Battleship Gray car wrap that can be peeled off at any time. Vehicle wraps are an investment worth checking out because they can last up to 5 years, and are priced at a fraction of what it costs to paint a new high end car.
