I believe that the parts iCarbon sells will fit your 128i. They are inter-changeable with the 135i too. If you are looking for aftermarket parts (tunes/exterior mods?)

A good place to start would be looking at getting a BMS PowerBox (http://burgertuning.com/BMS_Power_Box.html) probably the best and only mod for the N52 engine that us 128ers get... (10 hp ) not to much but well worth it!

As far as exterior mods go... (Carbon Fiber rear spoilers are very popular on these forums as well as DEPO halo angel eye projector lights that people like to add to get rid of the stock halogen. You can look around in the cosmetic section to see old pictures and things that can add really cool appearance to your car)

Here is a link to a guy on the forum who has modded his 128er with some really cool parts so you can see how they will look on your car! http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=252922

Hope this all helps! Good luck!

Yeah my car also came with 19 inch rims and lowered, it only has 10,000 miles on it, I think it was upgraded by the dealer the car is fast and handles very well.

It's easy to get carried away with the mods as you can see from my 128 in the pic. I have the 135 front bumper with euro fogs, iCarbon front lip, BMW Performance side skirts and black kidney grills. Also lowered on Koni FSD/Eibach.

The iCarbon lip will not fit the 128 stock front bumper.

Nice car.

BMW makes the Performance line of parts for the 1er's. I personally think the black glossy grills are a MUST HAVE mod. I would also suggest you look into the DIY section for a "CDV delete mod". Really makes the manual trans feel like it SHOULD feel. BMW puts a silly delay valve in for the clutch pedal.
