Just got my 128i today. I'm in Huntington Beach, so if you see me, say hi!
Here are some quick shots.

Congrats on the new car! I'm up on the central coast and recently took delivery of a 128i too.

That's a nice lookin' car! Enjoy!

1bonna · 08-13-2009, 07:11 PM

Enjoy the car! I know you will....

derekL · 08-13-2009, 10:17 PM

HORRAY FOR 128i!!! our cars are kinda twins!! although i have it in AW, it seems as though we have the same set-up from what i can see!!! NICE NICE!!! this car... this car is freaking unbelievable!

ucdvwchan · 08-13-2009, 10:56 PM

Thanks guys! The car is super sweet. Don't tell anyone, but I find myself going outside just to look at it.

McReary · 08-14-2009, 12:30 AM

lol me too!!! well i just wait a bit admiring before going back in the house. I seriously don't understand what the ppl who voted the 1 the top 10 ugliest cars were thinking.. they need to see one in person.

get yourself a cf spoiler and you'll love it 10x more

derekL · 08-14-2009, 12:52 AM

its especially hard to walk away from this beauty when i park it in a lot to go somewhere. did someone say doubletake?

McReary · 08-14-2009, 01:44 AM

I'd look into either the eibach or H&R sports lowering springs. I have the h&r sports and with it lowered around 1.5'' it looks so much better and it handles way better too. Less sway and body roll and the turns are quicker to response and tighter. Definitely do the lowering springs for the looks and better feel. U don't lose any comfort either =]. I'll take some pixs and show

car's dirty =\

I'm undecided on the spoiler. I think it looks great on an AW car, but I'd like to see one on a Montego Blue 1 series. Is your roof a different color? In the pictures it looks black or carbon fiber. This makes the spoiler look real cool if the roof has the same look.

Right now, I am getting some custom seat covers and a tint as my next "mods".

I am probably a lot older than you, so lowering my car might not work well for me.

The dealer did tell me of a chip that would increase my horsepower by 100 and it would run around $1500.00 He said the company was Dinan and the car would still be covered under warranty. This might be worth it.
