i remember seeing this exact car on forums and articles regarding the e82 chassis. I had a black on black '10 128i Msport as well, Adaptive HIDs but not a slicktop. Man I miss that car. Currently have a couple Z3 projects going on tho lol. Beautiful car, thank you for bringing back some fond memories

I have a 2003 Miata and it’s time to upgrade my fun/track day car and it is because of you that I found the 128i... this car was never in my radar! But now it is... now to do my research and see what I can find out there to join the 1 Series crowd. Thanks for posting this video I was very curious what was done to your 128. Keep up the great content!

The 128i is the most underrated BMW of its decade. Super reliable and it bats way outside its price range on track and autocross. It needs a lot of love upfront to tame the factory understeer. Hence BESIM X CARS running 4* of camber. If you are looking for one of your own I recommend getting the n52 over the n51, it doesn't have the SULEV emissions BS and makes more power.

@@Dragon228833 Guess what I did today... Yeap, bought a 2011 BMW 128i 6-speed manual transmission... its 1000 miles away from me but luckily we have an auto train. So flying up, then driving down to Washington DC, jumping on the auto train all the way down to Orlando Florida then driving 200 more miles to Miami.... Very excited! and now, time to sell the Miata. Wasn't easy to find a 6 speed... but luckily I found 1addicts forum... most cars on there are the 135i but you do find a few 128i 6 speed (no slick tops though)

You mention you are running E90 330i front calipers, but did you also upgrade to the larger rotors of the 330i? I am assuming so, but you didn't specify. Just for reference, I am running the E90 330i calipers and brake reaction bracket with the 330i rotors (330mm vs. 300mm). I currently have about 3mm of clearance to my TRM C4 17x9 wheels.

I think it would be best for exhaust and tune actually, especially if you do an AA header with a highflow cat But if you had to pick between exhaust or intake + tune, intake plus tune will be the best out of those two options
