Thanks for posting!

A couple things to note from the two pictures for me is that the car needs to be lowered a bit, with aftermarket wheels on it. The gap is just too big. I do like how they come out to the fender though. I run spacers on my e90, since the wheels sit too far in. Spacers certainly are not optimal to have.

Secondly, I find it amusing that Hartge puts wheels only on the diesel, and feels they need to rebadge the car for their efforts.

Makes me laugh when i see a hartge/ACS/M badge slapped on the back when just the wheels are changed (with replica's most times!).

Not sure if i like those wheels on the 1er, i'd love the cls wheels but could really justify that amount (£3k+?)

Great pics, thanks. Actually they are the best I have yet seen when it comes to the flow and angles of the car. I love the way the high rib line integrates from the side into the rear of the car. I think the general ‘stance’ is more aggressive looking then the 3 series by far. That is a hell of a wax job they got there!

Fog lights!!, must be a 123i?

I'm pretty sure it's a 120d m sport with that exhust, the 123d has a single black matt chrome exhust, same colour as the 135's.

Did hartage touch the body of the car? The rear fender is huge.

HARTGE318d · 11-18-2007, 04:43 PM

The mods from HARTGE are sports spring set, wheel set Classic 2 in 19", steering wheel, gear knob, handbrake handle, velour floor mats, aluminium foot rest and pedals. And soon to be; exhaust and engine upgrade (not ready yet).

Those little screws on the rim are like little stainless steel weights in the worst place possible: the outer circumference.

Ugly too.

Robert · 11-18-2007, 08:21 PM

I heard from somewhere that Hartage is considered a trashy tuner in Europe. Is this true?

sucks that our headlights are going to have amber corners

Is this from a "looks" or performance perspective?

Nope, it's one of the oldest and best.

Great pics, I really like the blue. Looks like Le Mans?

Topmounter · 11-19-2007, 07:05 AM

That badge on the back looks incredibly tacky and out of place

phrozen06 · 11-19-2007, 11:18 AM

Nice coupe

BForbes · 11-19-2007, 11:27 AM

I dont care for the wheels but the arches look muscular. I wonder if 19inchs bring them out more??? I am still dying to see a proper non Tii AW version of the 1 series. Why are they hiding them. I hear its not even on the german configurator. What the F?

matt · 11-19-2007, 11:48 AM

notice the lip on the trunk...

is there already any aftermarket trunk lips avaiable?

Nope, thats the lip that many were complaining about that the 135i gets and 128i dosent..

I think it looks fine.

HARTGE318d · 11-19-2007, 12:17 PM

It is a 120d M-sport in LeMans blue with the spoiler lip from 135i.

spudw · 11-19-2007, 02:02 PM

I've never been big on the blues, but it rocks in these shots. I may get LeMans blue yet...
