  • In this video the wife DEMANDS that I make her car more race car while keeping it as close to stock as possible. In other words, turn water into wine but have it contain 0 calories. Watch as I single handedly replace her entire suspension in the name of love.

    My car came with the M sport package and I love it. I have the bilstein b12 pro kit with eibach sway bars on my 128i. Going to get powerflex control arm bushings and tension arm bushings for additional stiffness next week

    I went with Koni Str.t. They're not adjustable, but did stiffen the ride up a tad. Great compromise on both track and daily driving.

    Good video dude. I have a base suspension car and the front right shock is shot. I bought this car because people were raving how awesome it handles. I’m disappointed. I’m hoping new shocks/struts with some stiffer springs will “fix” it. I’m coming from an S2000, which was a legal go cart. By far my favorite car so far.
    Good job on the video!
    Cheers

      Should have never sold the S2K, that's just my humble opinion. With that said, the car is a tad heavy and a tad soft for sure, just needs to be buttoned up a little bit and it will perform admirably.

      Agreed on S2k! But if I’m honest, I was a tad too big for it. I’m 6ft 1 and not skinny. Interestingly enough, my second favourite car was e92 328i. That car although heavy, handled sooo much better than my current 128i. I thought smaller chassis 1 series would be a much better handler compared to 328i. The only difference the e92 had was sport package. But I cant imagine a sport package wouod make THAT much difference. Anyways, thanks for the video. It gives me some idea of what I’m getting myself into. I’ve ordered new Koni Pro kit, should be here tomorrow. Now I’m doing more research on how to change the shocks and springs while gathering all the tools im gonna need.

      I’m in the same position. Came from daily driving my s2k and wanted to sharpen up my 120d that I use for work lol

      @funky_9_ what upgrades have you done to your diesel?

    You should post an “honest” review of 128i. I’m curious to hear your thoughts. Seems like you have experienced quite a few cars, so I’d say your opinion would be qualified

    The house of a woman is clean. Man is not allowed to clean it. The car is dirty.
