Thanks and too bad you're selling yours but I get it, the 128i is quite limited when it comes to track mods, although having 10 HPDEs under your belt, it might have been competitive for you I assume.

The car is excellent on track. I LOVE the way this thing handles, really it is excellent with stock and aftermarket wheels. The lighter weight Advantis make a slight difference under acceleration. I am selling the car because it's frankly too nice to beat on and it's too expensive to fix. I try not to abuse it, but any time you track a car you're asking a lot of it. Things break no matter what car you're driving and the cost of parts is too high compared to a Miata. The PCV valve failure requiring an entire valve cover at $420 vs the $25 Miata PCV was the straw that broke the camel's back, for me. The phrase "superior German engineering" has become a joke in my household.
The wheels are 17x9 ET45 - (
check here). I can't comment on the quality vs Apex, as I've never owned Apex wheels. They are probably both good brands. FYI EC-7s are 18" and up, but ARC-8s have 17" options that fit our cars.
