I'm running 18 inch OZ racing ultraleggeras, you can't use m2 brakes with 340mm rotors. I will be running 370f/345r rotors as the F series M performance set up. I have the 380f/370r rotors which came with the calipers but these no way to mount the 370mm rears to the 130i rear hubs and I'm not converting to e82 hubs as my OZ wheels already have a very aggressive offset.

Hi, people! Im Javi from Spain (really, a german-argentinian guy) I have a e46 330d 204cv and a I3 REX (dont hate me, please...!!! 😂)...

I like to be arround and see how things are done in NZ... i love your country...!!! 😃👍

That looks legit on style 24 LTW's. More tyre is always good.

What wheels are you running that will clear m2 brakes, are you going to be running the 380f/370r discs or the smaller 340 Msport ones? i run f80 brakes (same as m2) and found the 380/370 f/r Discs only really fit under my apex ec-7s

Since my shocks are coming off, my current brakes will be up for sale. They are e9x 335i fronts 348x30 and rears 336x24 ( Yes the rears just bolt up ) with DBA slotted rotors, EBC redstuff pads and condor speed shop brass caliper bushings. The pads where new 3000-4000 kms and the rotors were resurfaced at the same time. Only selling as I'm switching to m2 brakes as I got a good deal on a set and after test fitting they luckily fit under wheels. Photos from the 5th of March when I replaced the pads and resurfaced the rotors.

Also... "Paging: @aja540i.@aja540i, report to Pick-a-Part Mangere."
-
Wait... so this IS an M5, but Pick-a-part are trying to convince us it's a 525i????? There's a change from the norm!
-
Yep, that intake is a good score, looks purdy.
-
Recently got a 130i and am looking to install some coilovers and lower the car a bit. How much can I lower the car without needing toe or camber arms. If I do need aftermarket arms, who stocks them in NZ -
Will find out, dont actually have much of a plan other than "I need that intake".... It might get sold with the ACS 19s on it.
-
Yup it does, the upper lid is very different to stock (and the carbon snorkel obviously)
-
Does the intake actually sound any different? The airbox looks unchanged from the standard one?

2007 130i Boston Lemon leather, fine wood light walnut, comfort lights and Msport. BMWP 313 wheels, Arqray exhaust and the rocking horse sh*t BMWP intake. Cool spec cool bits on it, the interiors pretty pimp (and the intake and exhaust sound the part). Has literally all the minor issues, poor things just been neglected for awhile. Will be a bit of a project to unf**k and fix it all, then will sell it on as I really cant justify 3/4 cars. First step will be one epic interior and exterior clean, and see if there are any other goodies hiding.
-
Yeah I have seen a guy throwing wheels over the fence at PAP. So anything nice is removed. Do they still have those manky cobra chickens guarding the place in Mangere? Loved being hissed at while your under a car pulling parts.
-
Hmmm looks good. I wonder if the lowering springs are still on the car...
-
With regards to the wheels, it could be worth checking at the office to see that they haven't removed them and stashed them elsewhere. I know that they do that at PAP CHCH.
-
Great score! Definitely some nice fruit to peel off that - have always wondered if the 18" 313's would clear the BMWP 6 pistons as well.
-
Sorry if the sarcasim of the post has been missed. Let me try again… slapping a M5 badge on a 520i/525i/530d/535d (add your own model here) does not make it an M5 😝… same applies to all ‘M’ variants and model series 🤪 Chur!
-
I’d pick a 535/530d over a 525 any day of the week, m57s are fantastic
-
This could be optimistic lol My prediction is that all the leftover M5 specific bits will be put on a 525i. Or even worse, an e60 diesel variant haha 🤣

Didn't look too bad one upon a time.

Exactly. What I also find ironic is that Pickapart will not have come close to maximising the parts value of the car. Anything rare/desirable/expensive has to be sold at a low fixed price, and people are so rough with the cars that anything left (particularly on the interior) generally gets ruined. In a weird way everyone loses... While its a shame to see a nice car getting parted out, often it provides the parts to keep 10+ more on the road - yet when a car is at Pickapart there is so much wastage and you have to live nearby to physically go get the bits you need yourself. This was absolutely mint, but I bet it won't be long until it's ruined with people leaving doors open etc.

Got a little bit more work done recently, been busy making a plan for all the suspension stuff and figuring out which direction to go for the clutch/flywheel. Decided to keep it oem and stick with a dual mass flywheel and oem 240mm luk clutch kit. Got all the underside parts taken apart and sandblasted, in the process of getting painted at the moment. gearbox is back from kayne Barrie now with fresh detents. More or less just need to order the clutch kit now and then can put the engine and gearbox into the car. picked up a e90 325i auto front half driveshaft and a e36 medium case rear half from @Toast which so far seem to work together, will see if they end up the right length. Paid $80 for the front half instead of the $700 people charge for zf 5 Speed Front halves nowadays. will need to swap the carrier bearing over to an e30 one as well. Fuel pump is back in the car too now ready to start replacing subframe, trailing arm bushings etc now and reassembling the rear end.

I now have 2 130s.... Lots of oil leaks and the usual stuff, along with a bunch of electrical gremlins (most are likely result of few flat batteries), but its worth saving and probably robbing some parts off.
