Hi there, Matej here. I am new to New Zealand and new to the forum as well. Originally from Slovenia, arrived here just a couple of weeks ago. Always been a fan of the brand, but never owned one, as I've always bought "more reasonable and affordable" cars instead. 😅 Once again, I found myself thinking of buying a Toyota...🤦‍♂️ But then I realized the market is so much different here than in the EU - BMWs are actually cheaper here! 😲 That being said, I am looking for an F20 M135i, but would settle for a nice F20 with a smaller engine as well (M Sport is a must). Let me know if you are selling or know of any decent ones that are on the market. Looking forward to all future discussions! Cheers, Matej

Car has passed its cert, got its wof and reg now, can finally legally drive it on the roads again. Also came up with a mount for a old ipad mini to keep track of oil temps, boost, IATs etc etc. Took it out for a quick drive around some riverhead backroads today, definitely missed driving this car. Next job is going to be to get the front right corner damage sorted.

Good time to be buying an m135i, prices have come down recently, can find decent ones for sub 20k now. Awesome all round car and great fun to drive! Would definitely suggest sticking to an m135i over the smaller engine ones, 6 cylinders are what bmw does best!

Here's what you need to do if you keep your e36 inners: You can alternatively use e46 inners that already have the vents, you lose some lock doing this because they're slightly longer (although some manufacturers, I can't recall which, have them the same length). The amount of lock you lose is negligible. On the other had, the work above cost me like $20 which was less than I'd pay for e46 inners.

I see it has the big ass USDM bumper too

Some people have better mannerisms suited to presenting this sort of stuff. I noticed but given the length of the video it didn't really bother me, plus id rather have some be themselves rather than put on a fake persona.

Make good sim seats. $300 is a steal.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the site, and new to BMW ownership. Just bought a 2007 130i (not sure if anyone knows this one?). Seems to be in great condition, and just the usual oil leaks that seem to be pretty common for BMW's! Looking forward to putting some kms on it, and enjoying the banter on here. Cheers Andy
