hahaha I'm around McMaster/Westdale area during the day. Live near Gage park. White 128i convertible lowered on Bilstein B8 and H&R. You may or may not have seen me. But I've yet to see a 1er in Hamilton that was driven by a younger person.

Yeah I never see anyone in Hamilton but see a bunch on my commute back home from Mississauga. I'm over in Meadowlands and have only seen one space grey convertible in a driveway lol

Feel free to honk at me. I'm pretty sure I'm one of the only AW Convertibles in the Hamilton area. lol.

PS. If you are planning to install those springs yourself, let me know and I'd be willing to lend a hand if you need it. I just did my H&R/Bilstein combo about a month ago.

Awesome, I will definitely honk and I might take you up on that offer. I am thinking I need struts as well. I don't really want to run the stock struts just to change them out when I destroy them!

We should get together for a coffee sometime. meeting of the AW's

Yea definitely don't run the factory shocks with HR super sports which are much lower than m-sport. Look around for a good sale on Koni Yellows or Bilstein B8s and you'll have a nice setup.

Yeah we should get together sometime with the 1er guys in the Hamilton area sometime during the week or something.

But yeah definitely get some struts if you're putting in super sports. I was lucky and got my bilsteins on the forums but had them shipped to the border then went to pick them up. Browse the forums. You'll be surprised at what you can find. Mine came from California with only 5000 miles on it. Looked brand new when I got them. If you wanna buy new, check out nextmod in mississauga/markham. They have access to a whole lot of parts. Alternatively there's exoparts in mississauga that also may have access to aftermarket.

I was very close to buying the B12 kit from ajusa.com which was the cheapest I could find online by far and they had a sale at that time (it was like $630 USD for the set after the discount). Right now they are showing for $687 USD which is not bad.

http://www.ajusa.com/2010-BMW-128I-B...it-acb089.html

Realizing you just need shocks, have a look at what the B8s would cost you with currency conversion and shipping:

http://www.ajusa.com/2010-BMW-128I-B...727bq67a9.html

When I was purchasing, because of the shipping etc, I ended up getting pretty much the same price from Mo @ Alpha motorsports. He's in Markham and I drove over to pick them up, prices from him are generally excellent.

http://alphamotorsports.ca/

If you end up buying from the states, you can take advantage of free shipping within the states and ship to crossborderpickups.ca, they charge only a small fee to bring things over the border and you can pick up from their Mississauga warehouse. I've done that for a number of parts and it can work out well. They only charge taxes generally on the value of the shipment + small fee.

Good luck!

Silver pre-LCI 128i spotted Sunday Aug 28th around 8pm, heading West on Steeles avenue just West of Kennedy in Brampton.

Clean car, looks lowered/suspension mods, with some nice black OZ Superleggera wheels (square fitment is my guess).

I was the space grey 128i that drove by you and may have stared a bit lol. Are you in the neighborhood? My parents live in that area and I was visiting with them...

?

These posts are coming across as somewhat ageist and possibly sexist.......
or am I misinterpreting?
In any event, I am new to the 1er community, just recently bought my 2012 135i SGM 6MT from Budds' on Upper James, with 54,000 km. I am in Ancaster, sometimes commute to the LCBO in Meadowlands or 2nd Cup Upper James. Can't stay out after dark as I am 71 yo. Be nice!

Nice car - welcome! I've been on here over a year and still haven't made it out to any kind of meet up although I have met one of the local GTA members a couple of times (hey Andrey!). Will make it out someday....
