It really is a shame the 128 gets less love. The wife got a 135 and even after coming from that I got to take a little ride in 1er's 128 and I do have to say, the thing still hauls major ass. I must say, I am impressed. Problem is most aftermarket companies see a twin turbo as a more viable tuning (and money making) option for them to make parts. I guess from a capitalist company standpoint, if you wanted to go that much faster the 128 crowd would have just gotten the 135i so they don't see as much of a market.
If you want the parts you have to start hounding the companies that make the parts. Not just one or two of you guys either, get a bunch of people and bug the hell out of them. I had a Tiburon before the GT V6 came out and if we wanted parts they had to be special ordered or we had to get together on the forums and organize a group hounding of specific parts companies...
