Because the mods would put too much stress on the already weak S65 engine (with its rod bearing clearance issues - see link below) and would destroy their engine. Which to replace the S65 engine costs more than an entire 135i! See their over 101 page forum discussion on the topic of which I was unfortunately part of awhile ago....
