Formally presenting the 128i

derekL · 07-11-2010, 12:15 AM

Hey guys, finally took a few shots of my 128i after the accident that pulled my car out of commission for about 6 months.
Mods list is in my sig!

Quick update!
Unfortunately, I got hit and run a few weeks back, but on the plus side, I was able to get the m-sport diffuser and even get it painted gloss black.

Enjoy!!

Still have some future plans including:

CF Diffuser
BMW Performance Side skirts
ST Coilovers
BMS Powerbox or aFe intake
Performance Steering Wheel

if you don't mind me asking, seeing that you got the 135 front [edit> 128 msport front] and are planning on getting the rear, why you didn't just get a 135? you seem to be very performance oriented?

Well being another 128i owner, I personally just didn't need the extra power for my ride. I know if I got the 135i and did a bunch of performance mods, I'd get into trouble with the popos. A 128i does everything that I need. I focus a lot more on the cosmetic side of modding now.

My next car however..... will most likely be faster and better than the 128i lol! Baby steps

I never actually planned on getting the msport bumper but due to the accident i had back in november, I had an opportunity to change bumpers, but due to a stupid mix up I got the msport instead of the performance bumper and I got a rear bumper with a bike rack instead of the msport bumper.

derekL · 07-11-2010, 12:50 AM

There were about three group buys on the forum

I don't think they are doing it anymore, but you can ask around if there is anyone selling them

Yvette · 07-11-2010, 02:19 PM
