Hawda's BMW 128i Build
Hello everyone! This will be my first post on 1addicts but there should be plenty more to follow. To start, I wanted to post some basic pictures of my dirty car as is. Currently i'm pretty much factory spec other than matte black kidney grills, new tints, a blacked out 128i badge, 12.5 mm spacers in front and 15mm in the rear, and a roof rack. I currently have some pretty big plans for this car so I wanted to make a thread to follow it from start to finish. The current plan for future mods goes: Headlights, getting the chrome trim wrapped black, rims, tints for tail lights, exhaust, and coil overs. I also may squeeze an intake in somewhere along the line. I plan on cleaning him up and posting some good pics tomorrow and I also have a pair of Depo V2 headlights on the way so I will definitely give an update when I get those in. Thats all for now, thanks ahead of time for any input on my build and drive safe.

Just realized I forgot to include that I also have a trunk spoiler that I got from ebay.

Welcome! It's a great place here. Nice looking car!
I have the Depo V2's as well with the dark housings and clear corners. I think you will be really happy with how they look on your car.

PS - you are referring to the one on the back of your car, right? And not an actual front lip spoiler that you bought and just haven't installed yet?

Welcome.
Also use the e90 forum. The cars are so similar and there is more activity there.

Well, I was gonna give the car a good clean and take some pictures but Florida being Florida it has been raining on and off all day and I don't want to clean the car just to have it rain 5 minutes later. I still got out there and cleaned the rims as they were pretty bad. Here's a before and after pic and some other pictures.

Yeah it's so bad, I didn't realize that was a BMW thing. I also just got the rear pads replaced and the fronts are pretty worn so that probably makes it even worse.

Installed my Depo V2 headlights this morning with the help of some friends. I used this thread as a guide https://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=219345 and it was very straight forward, only took an hour and a half but I'm sure if I ever need to take them out again I could have it done in less than an hour easily.
I'm still waiting for my adapter for Pro Tool to come in so that I can code the lights to fix some things and I also already realized I need to make the switch to HID's very soon, these halogen's just aren't doin it.

Finally got around to taking the paddle boards out today. The weather was absolutely perfect and I snapped some pics while on the way. I wish that I could have had the car clean but I still thought the pics would look good since its not very often you see a one series with two paddle boards loaded on top.
