    BMW Story

    Quite interesting, I didnt realise the split in companies post war.
  2. 130i in front is the biggest star in video
  3. Makes ya wonder how differently the market would have responded if the DCT was ever stuck to the N52. Its there in the coding options just was never sold. Manual definitely suits the 130, but agree... if you are going to beat on it in stop start traffic get an auto, then buy a manual for the weekend :) I like the DSG in the skoda, it is a good compromise, but still not the same as a manual box when "not commuting"
  4. Amazon prime sometimes does really quick deliveries. If you are really hard up I have an aluminium mickeymouse one here, might be able to courier it to Qtown by the weekend.
  5. I had worn RE003s on the front of the VRS, still couple of mm of tread... thing is sketchy as sh*t in any rain (its also eating the fronts at an awesome rate). Aquaplanes all over the place on SH1. Just rotated them to try and kill a full set then will probably go to some Hankook Evo3s and hope they work better.
  6. Yeah N54 manifold is like 5bhp more at 7000rpm, but worse everywhere else. Id be keen for the velocity stack setup as well, dyno graph does look promising - gives a solid kick up top without making everything else poop.
  7. https://22rpd.com/blog/the-future-of-na-n52-no-throttle-body-bonus-beta-testing-sign-up Interesting, N52 becoming more of animal.
  8. One to keep an eye out for on tardme.... GA2AIhnGG_5V6D8DAPK4UlQVK_xbbmdjAAAF.mp4

    E87 door cards

    I have pre LCI ones you can have if you want, just sitting in the garage (and wont have the trim bits fall off... as there isnt any )

    135i big brakes

    Cheap as! FWIW the pistons are the same as a few porsche brembos, can get aluminium replacement ones for the weetbix ceramics for a few bucks each.
  11. Be worth is just in parts to be fair, looks like it needs a little TLC (and a wax)
  12. With 800Nm, just leave it in 5th...
