  1. Interesting theyve gone back to H&Rs, mine are eibachs.
  2. Waterpump and thermostats are $700ish in a kit, there is no HPFP.

    Yeah, even with my ad..
  4. Yeah came on the LEs, got sweet lemon yellow interior bits. were actually more common than standard Msports Cool though, definitely rare here.
  5. Weird that its chewing that much gas, not normal, unless you are driving like a total animal Scanned it? Fuel trims or something might be all up the pish

    Now it wears stickers again Swapped out the 90SHa bush for a 75 one, now only shakes like a dog in reverse at idle, and no more wheel hop.
  7. Cheap cheap, those are all easy fixes.
  8. Its a DME flash to do it, I dont think anyone in auckland or NZ actually has the experience to do a proper N52 flash. The oxygen sensors stay, however the DME has a pre and post cat o2 sensor check to keep an eye on the cat efficiency... with no cat efficiency is not so hot There are a few in NZ selling generic nonsense maps downloaded from the net (claiming 200+ kw... bs). .Severn tuning is who Im planning on using, when I actually get to it, lots of Z4 N52 experience https://www.severntuning.com/
  9. Thats the front end, the rears are likely TRW as well, but no idea on p/n. Not many change the rears as they are the same dimensionally as stock, just a bit lighter.
  10. https://nzta.govt.nz/resources/new-zealand-motor-vehicle-register-statistics/new-zealand-vehicle-fleet-open-data-sets/ - Can break it down way better My car just got 8% more rarerer https://www.turners.co.nz/Damaged-Vehicles/Damaged-Cars-for-Sale/bmw/130i/23369537
  11. Worth it, you'll wonder WTF BMW were doing with the stock suspension and diff afterwards

    Quick rant thread.

    Struggling to name one government department that is not a complete shitshow of incompetence...
  13. I cant speak to the solid bushes, however the whole rear end of mine is PU and I noticed very minimal change in NVH.
  14. Still havent had a chance to try fit them yet, reports are varied if they actually fit... I keep having to do this "work" thing, and its getting tedious. If you want something that definitely fits, the aussie option works and has proven significant gains, its just not cheap.
  15. nope rear hubs - 33326792553 - its the only bush that isnt replaced by the PU kits youve listed, it also seems to be the first one to sh*t itself https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=UF92-EUR-11-2005-E87-BMW-130i&diagId=33_1230
  16. Yup, but Id grab some stock spherical bushings (they arent covered by the PU kit) for the rear hubs as well. HellBM has the tools I used to do it.
  17. Nope, talk to birds, wasnt actually too bad to get here.
  18. Welcome, 130s are the jam. AW11s are also damn cool, I want another bad, but then I look at the prices on them now and cringe...
  19. Not really uncommon, particularly on the pre-FL cars, not really a loss either as wasnt even very good when new and just dates cars when ages, may not have even been an option on the early kiwi cars. NZ 130s being lower speced than japanese is nonsense There are literally only 32 of them, 13 manuals, most got xenons etc. The only true poverty pack one Ive seen is one thats now a race car, was a red 2005, looked to be first one in the country - Manual/Non M/Halogen lights/no options etc... kinda gave the impression it was imported to be a race car.
  20. NZ new manual, well priced... https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/130i/listing/3893097064?bof=iRn1zoHi
  21. Any pics of the interference?
