It's been too long, but we are going strong!
Can’t get enough of this car. We’re sitting at around 296,000 km (about 184k miles) and the thing just keeps going. The N52 motor purrs like a slightly ticky kitten—but still smooth in that unmistakable BMW way. 😻
Recent work has this little beast running even better: new DISA valves, a fresh starter (preventative maintenance, you know), and a few other odds and ends. And, of course, check out that Euro emergency triangle with bracket—because why not add a little flair? 😎 Deep Sea Blue Metallic: A True Chameleon Let’s talk about this color. Deep Sea Blue Metallic is a real gem. In some light, it’s a deep, almost royal blue, and then—bam—it flips to something like Le Mans Blue in the sun. This car knows how to show off. With the major mechanical stuff sorted and regular maintenance done, it’s time for a full detail. This car deserves to look as fresh as it feels, and I’m stoked to give it the love it’s earned. Here’s to the 128i: classic BMW spirit with just the right modern touch. Still turning heads after all these miles. Last edited by M4_ZMT; 01-26-2025 at 05:01 AM.. |

Haha! Twin! That is amazing. Enkei definitely makes a quality wheel for an excellent price on those J10's. Mine were shipped from TireRack as a set, road force balanced and all, can't beat that!
I currently have the style 264's mounted; but this car looks amazing with that wheel and I often toy with going back to them. The tires that I have on the Enkei's are peak rated, which I know is an overkill where I live, but I figured it was worthwhile to have the option if needed. What tire are you running on those? |

I’ve had the J10s for about 14 years, had them first with snow tires on for the E85 when that was my daily but keeping it stored for the salt winter season here they were just quite literally hanging out on my tire rack in the garage for a while figured why not try them out on the E82 and yeah was really surprised how well they look so when it’s warmer those go on for a daily wheel and the stock wheels have the snow tires on that get stored. And when I got them the J10s were like $105/wheel so was really a no brainer back then. I had comments on the E85 that I was over tired when I had azenis 615k on the z4, but then came the bbk, lsd, and ess s/c and felt it was now under tired for occasional track ![]() Last edited by Piper1; 02-05-2025 at 10:49 AM.. |

Some quick photos before the rain, still freshly washed and (spray)waxed. The interior was treated to a quick leatherette clean/condition.
