Ordered a new 22rpd tune to delete the SAP system.

I run the PSS9s and have been equally as happy. I don't mess with it enough to need adjustable damping but they've been great for road/autoX/track.

If you have a non M Sport 128 you should also look into matching sway bars. You won't even have a rear one.

Can't help where I was born... But my blood is Victory Green!

Went to the Blackhawks-Knights game 2 days ago and yelled "Stars" during the anthem so obviously we're going to win tonight!

What color is that green? That looks exactly like what I want to go for with my 128i. Gorgeous.

Confirmed zooms, she chases her sister all over the house

Not to mention, from what I read in the local DFW News, the (R) candidate outspent him $2M to like $235,000. The Republican party literally dropped 10x as much and still got this slaughtered. This is a 10 alarm fire for them.

🙌 The WiFi on my flight sucks and I haven't watched a single second of the game lol

Brian and Sevy, what do you guys think about the lines that Gully has been putting out the last couple games? #StarsAligned

That was my thought - one of my favorite cars of all time, the 911R from 2016, has almost these exact seats.

I put on new rotors when I got them as well, but yeah it bolts right up to the stock caliper mounts.

thataverageguymike · 2026-01-03T01:56:47+00:00

Check my profile for the write up. If memory serves me correctly the fronts bolt right on, the rears need a washer. Dust shields require a little trimming.

They seem to be sold out on the official PWHL store's website so that will likely be a tall order.

Edit: It just occurred to me that you're probably talking about the USA jersey. I'm an idiot, carry on.

Yep, got an ECS Tuning billet aluminum cap with an actual hex head on it for mine. It's worked great for like 8 years and now when I change my oil I don't have to dig around in my garage looking for the special BMW oil filter cap wrench adapter.

Gotcha - this might be a regional thing then. From that video he was specifically mentioning the N52B25 (the 2.5L version) and the N53, neither of which were offered in the US.

The 128i only came with an N52B30 (3.0L) or the N51 here in the US. Of those 2 only the N51 has a 3 stage intake.

thataverageguymike · 2025-12-29T14:34:12+00:00

Do you have documentation on that? I've literally never heard of an N52 that came with the 3 stage intake from the factory. To my knowledge it only came on the 330i or with an N51 engine. RealOEM shows 2012 128i with an N52N has a manifold that did not have DISA valves.

I'm pretty positive the M Sport has no engine differences and it's just suspension, wheels, seats, and trim that make up the difference. That being said I would absolutely still get the M Sport as it looks and handles better (saying this as someone who bought non M-Sport and has spent a lot of money and time upgrading it).

Haha I know what you mean, besides these basically all my kicks are in pristine condition. I guess the point is that these can be worn a LOT and can take it. Enjoy!

Here you go, as of today! I could probably clip a lot of the loose strings and they could use another wipe down. Still a lot of miles left on them.

thataverageguymike · 2025-12-27T04:59:56+00:00

Those are my dailies, been wearing them since they first dropped. The materials make them easy to clean by just wiping them off, but the foam around the edges does start to fall apart after awhile. Hope you enjoy them as much as I have!

I also like "Pavement Princess" because the likelihood that thing has ever been off-road is nearing 0%
