Sedans are better 🙂 Frames on the windows, stiffer chassis... just saying, things to consider.

That’s an awesome 130! I’m not in the market but that would be bought immediately if I was. A credit to you!

Finally got around to putting up the wall mounts. Definitely recommend them for saving space in the garage.

Agreed, 130 pricing is flat as sh*t at the moment, cheapest in the world (clarkson voice)... but most of the ones on trademe look ropey as. I think you could get 12k, if you found the right buyer (and they would be getting good deal). The problem is finding the buyer at the moment. As sh*t as a it sounds, you might be better off financially to part it out and sell it "stock" as a looked after example on tardme. Or, dont sell it.

@NZ_InFerno PM sent - keen to see some more pics of car. cheers Dave

So I might need to sell my car quite unexpectedly, would I get 12k for it? 130i seem very cheap on trademe, but none are "modified" nor seem to have been mechanically sorted. If you guys can give me some idea of what I could get for mine it would be greatly appreciated Basically everything that's a mechanical issue on the N52 has been sorted on it, mickey mouse flange being done this week.

I also have some extra bits but can't recall atm. Bad things on the car are cosmetic aka stuff I was doing this year after mechanically sorting it. There's a dent in the rear left crease line. Slight damage to front bumper plastic beside front license plate. I would cut and polish car before sale and paints pretty good apart from a couple stone chips. The interior, everything is nice except for the head lining and the wheel. Headliner is sagging and has been pinned up, and wheel and insert are not great. I have two replacement inserts and leather for the wheel that requires stitching. And a $700 quote for headliner to be done properly.

Those are from ISTA/D, there are a few websites that offer cut-down functionality, e.g. https://bmwteka.com/wds/en/e87/6fe27cdd For retrofitting cruise control you won't need any extra wiring, only the correct (E87 specific due to rear wiper) steering column switch centre, the lower plastic cover (though I guess you could try modify the existing one), and appropriate coding.

I think the bottle cap looks better...

argggghhh my eyes!
