And most of you guys will jump in when your 128 is attacked as they do and you did right here. You're driving the slowest tool in the BMW tool box. So you suck it up sonny and enjoy. Maybe when you grow up you can afford a car that demonstrates some performance.
I'm not worried about about defending my driving skills to you in the slightest, I couldn't possibly care any less. 128 drivers need to be concerned about the Toyota celica at the red light next to them not I. |

I'm not defending anyone. This is the interwebs. Go flex your keyboard muscles on an erectile disfunction blog. I'm sure they need a new member. Ps why hasn't this guy been banned?

Anyways, the diff is a huge downfall...along with the brakes, suspension, heatsoak issues...etc. Without upgrades, the car will not be able to handle 20-30 minute sessions at 90F+ without problems. With an open diff you won't be able to put power down until you're well off the apex. I'm on the gas at apex. The fact you have no HPDE experience is funny when you try to say how a 135i can walk a M. A proper nut behind the wheel of a 128 can easily run with other cars with higher power. Ever see a Spec Miata or Spec E30 drive? They are fast and have no power. Anyways, if you really care you can watch. Quote:

Duh. With comments like that, where I need to worry about a car that is not moving, makes YOU seem like the slowest tool in the 1addicts community. So there.

Nowhere did you see me say it would walk an z4m. I said it will run with it given comparable drivers as evidenced by stock vehicles in the link I provided. You can't dismiss that. You also have no idea what kind of track exp i have. You also mention w/o mods yet I see your z4 has mods, what's your point? The vast majority of street driven cars have mods, you included. You're really grabbing at straws here. The at a red light comment was just making a point. Besides, try and tell me none of you never had a 'contest of speed' on the street. Hypocrite. Especially those who make small penis/ erectile comments while saying suck it up, then cry for banning of someone who voices a different opinion while not resorting to penis language. Hypocrite. |

I'm still running stock suspension, stock wheels, stock engine. I can easily change that. Running DA suspension with 275 RComps squared with catless headers would be something completely different...don't you think? I don't drive like a dick on the street. I have a autocross or track event every weekend, so I have no reason to be a douche. I don't track my 128, yet. In 2 years it will be paid off and I'll turn it into a dedicated autocross/track car and compete in SCCA Solo and NASA TTD. I'll make sure I shoot you a PM with the link to my build thread when I do so. Personally I'm not going to get you to change your mind. If you really want to care about going up against other modified cars, then I have plenty of autocross videos where I end up in the top 10 against 100+ cars. I also have videos of me keeping up with modified Evos perfectly fine. I'm just too lazy to upload to prove a point. PS - Why would I track 2 different cars? It makes no sense. |

I enjoyed the video. Great job on the track! It's been a while since I was involved in autocross, and I've never been on a road course. I'm hoping to join one of the Buckeye chapter events this upcoming year and get a taste of the mid-Ohio course, being our home town track and all! Was that an Accord Coupe you passed at the end? It looked like he was really trying to hustle that thing…

Both are great cars. Everyone has different needs. Buy what you can afford. At least you're not looking at Camaros. Dime a dozen.
128 coupes with 6 manual are hard to find. Lots of verts with autos out there. I do like your Z4m Kgolf31.

I have not said 'suck it up' nor have I called for any ban. I just made the small penis comments. Do you mean 'none of you ever'? And no, not since I tore up my dad's Volvo in high school have I street-raced. It's just plain stupid. That's what tracks are for. I have not bashed 135 owners.. I just don't like turbos and their repair needs - goes against the 'daily driver' moniker although I can truthfully say that I have never seen either a 128 or a 135 by the side of the road dead. All I said is that some folks aren't willing to trade the 128s reliability for the 135's speed. I walked into the dealer with $50K n my pocket so I sure could have bought either. I chose the 128 because it is my DD... glad your 135 is being DD reliable; had I been more certain of that I would have bought one. I did see a 335 by the side of the road - getting a ticket. Another reason I am fine with my choice. I'm fine with my choice and I respect 135 owners for theirs all I ask is the same. This thread was begging to go down this road from the very title, wasn't it. I'm sorry it went this way and I helped lead it there, but I said it, I meant it and I am here to represent it!

topic: Why is it so hard to find a 128i instead of 135i?
ENOUGH already! IF you have nothing to contribute to this thread's topic - then DO NOT bother posting(!). I am awfully close to closing this thread.

The biggest difference here is that you're actually concerned about the car next to you at the light. I certainly am not.

And to keep on the point. I've seen a bunch of 6mt 128i's in Canada, but none with sport seats. I love the sport seats.

The N52 is a marvel. So are the sport seats

I ordered my SGM / coral red 128i with 6mt, adaptive xenons, sunroof delete, msport package and manual seats. It arrived in nov, 2010. I have enjoyed it every single day since then. Warranty is due in 4 months and I'll keep it. To me is the perfect balance of everything I look on a car.

The fallacy in this thread that is that a modded 135i is less reliable than a stock 135... That's simply not true... they are unreliable from the start. The modding might wear the turbos a bit quicker but it's still a luck of the draw with that as well. The issues to expect with a 135 are always the same and 95% have nothing to do with modding the car.
