New 128i Owner

eugener · 04-05-2015, 11:18 PM

Hello.

Bought my 09 AW 128i with 67k last year in June. This is my daily driver that I plan to take to auto-X and track events.

First mods were changing the RFT with stock sized 205/50r17 Hankook Ventus V12 EVO 2 and got an oil change replacing the OEM BMW oil with Motul 5w40 8100 X-cess.

Currently waiting for parts to change my Vanos solenoids due to an engine check light. I'll install a black grille, LED interior, LED sidemarker, CDV, oil pan gasket, oil filter housing gasket, KW V1 coilovers, oil change and flush the fluids at the same time.

Still doing research on brake upgrades, clutch, camber plates, wheels (square setup), full exhaust, and tune. I'm more interested in car feel and cornering than performance.

Thanks for reading

Welcome to the club!

Considering what you are saying. I highly recommend you get yourself and LSD before you get an exhaust + tune.

IMO it is mod that had the most value to our cars (128i or 135i).
