Photos Here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/qFJs4G3mwex7c8mDA This has been my pride and joy for the last couple years, but, my situation's changed, and I think it is time to move on. This 128i is ripe for track or autocross duty, the LSD and suspension make for a beautiful-driving car that loves to rotate. It may be high in mileage, but it runs and drives flawlessly, and has offered no protest to regular track use on hot summer weekends. I have a high degree of mechanical sympathy, and as such, this car has always been maintained well, following BMW manuals as much as possible (at least while newTIS was still accessible). I have no problems driving it 7 hours out to Mid-Ohio for a weekend and back, or even when I drove it 1,300 miles out to school up until this semester. It is a driver's car. I am not at the car's location for the next three weeks from posting this, but anyone local is welcome to come see the car, test drive it, and I can also get more pictures from my family who is holding on to it. Basic Information: - 2009 BMW 128i - 6-Speed Manual Transmission - Monaco Blue Exterior - Black Sensatec Interior, retrofitted with Leather + Heated Sport Package front seats (Electric bolsters are not wired in) - VIN: WBAUP735X9VF06884 - Moon roof removed, replaced with Bimmerworld fiberglass delete panel, headliner also replaced with an original slicktop headliner. ~215,000 miles In fair cosmetic condition: - Dent on driver's side front fender, in photos - Some light scuffing from very minor collision on driver's side front fender - Heavy rock chips on hood and front face of roof panel - A couple very light dings; one on each door, one on passenger side quarter panel - Light scratches and swirls - Clear coat in-tact, paint has great shine and depth when cleaned - Crack in windshield on lower corner on passenger side - Small divot in roof where screw for moonroof delete contacted skin In excellent mechanical condition: - Enthusiast maintained and cared for - Fluids and filters regularly changed and replaced with quality products - Valvetrain appears flawless as seen in picture from 2018 when valve cover and gasket was replaced Modifications: Exterior: - BMW Performance front bumper (a rare, now NLA product), including a retrofitted OE 135i oil cooler with OE 135i oil filter and cooler thermostat housing, also including retrofitted brake ducts which were reserved for use on the 135i version of the bumper. - OE BMW M-Sport rear bumper - Includes two sets of wheels, one with tires: -- Sport Edition SE-16 in 17x7.5 ET42 fitment with 225/45R17 General G-Max A/S-05 tires. -- OE BMW Style 256 wheels, no tires, two wheels have small bends on the inner rim. Interior: - BMW Performance short shift kit lever, ECS Tuning Delrin shift bushing and Turner Motorsport Polyurethane shift arm support bushing, AKG DTM selector rod, Condor Speed Shop tall weighted shift knob - Redline Goods shift boot and e-brake boot. Amazon off-brand leather steering wheel wrap with M tri-color stitching - X-Trons Android head unit, with Apple CarPlay/Andriod Auto capability - VDO oil pressure gauge, running off Bimmerworld oil distribution block mounted on oil filter housing - E9x M3 instrument cluster, correctly coded to the car (no tamper dot, mileage is correct) - Original ash tray replaced with open storage bin - Wood grain trim wrapped in 3M Orange vinyl wrap Engine/Powertrain: - OE 330i 3-Stage Intake Manifold, Turner Motorsport tune, Mishimoto silicone intake boot, some aluminum tape on hot side of intake box to reduce heat soaking - Clutch delay valve delete, with BMW clutch stop - OE 135i oil cooler - DiffsOnline 3-Clutch LSD with 35/60 ramps and 3.73 gear ratio and finned diff cover from an E60, including forward position M3 bushings, and a PowerFlex Polyurethane bushing in the rear position - Corsa Performance axle-back exhaust from a 135i and a y-pipe taken from the BMW Performance exhaust kit also for the 135i. Has a warm, old-fashioned sound to it, and is an appropriate volume, with no droning at any speed. Suspension and Braking: - Front M3 control arms, rear M3 upper control arms and guide rods - Deleted front sway bar, 12mm ECS Tuning rear sway bar with HD end links - Ohlins Road and Track coilovers, custom valved by 3DM Motorsports to 1M kit specifications, with 70N/mm front springs and 160N/mm rear springs, Vorshlag front camber plates, and strut spacer machined by the user "fe1rx" here on the forums - Condor Speed Shop UHMW rear subframe bushings - Front F30 335i 340mm brake calipers, painted in G2 Orange with Porterfield R4-S brake pads and StopTech slotted rotors. Calipers rebuilt recently with pressure seals and dust boots. - E90 M3 brake master cylinder I am asking $11,000, but am open to reasonable offers, and would love to see it go to a great new home. It is located, as noted in Woodbridge, Virginia. EDIT: Added CarFax report to photo album.

I'd be very intrigued in your Performance bumper if you still have the old one to put on in its place.

Was surprised to see you're selling. You were so enthused before. Guess I was as well but I sold too. I, personally, just got bored. Needed/wanted something different. Was wondering what's your reason. Care to share?

Found an E91 for sale that would be perfect for me, I've always wanted one.

Hi, what a coincidence, I'm looking for a 128 to run at summit and this looks exactly like what I would want to build. I have a few questions and would love to come look at it. What would be the best way to contact you? Thanks!

Damn if didn't already add almost all of the same mods to my own car, I would have bought this in a heartbeat. Since doing these mods could easily come out to over 10k alone in just parts, let alone labour cost. GLWS
