Thanks, @Jacko, for all the advice over the past couple of years! Good to know that the stock injectors can handle more than enough fuel. ’ll look into getting my N52 injectors cleaned and flow-checked, and I appreciate the recommendation for InjectorTech – sounds like they did a solid job.

Hey everyone, My E87 130i is almost at 200,000 km, and one of the injectors has started playing up. I’ve got Brinntech headers installed, so I was wondering if there’s any benefit in upgrading all the injectors to something OEM plus while I’m at it? Has anyone here gone down that route, and if so, what would you recommend?

Thank you @Jacko, @BM WORLD and @Eagle. I'lll stick with NA engine, still niffy enough for daliy duties 🙂

Hi everyone, I'm considering installing the ESS Tuning N52/N52N G1 Supercharger System (Gen. 3) on my BMW 130i and was wondering if anyone here has experience with this setup. Have you installed it on your 130i? What are your reviews or recommendations for or against it? Did you need to make any additional modifications, like strengthening internals or upgrading other components? Keen to hear any insights, advice, or personal experiences you could share. Thanks in advance!

Any recommendations for a solid front or rear tow hook ?

Any roads like Auckland-Raglan closer to Auckland central? 🤨

Definatley was dangerous before. Yea everything in the Birds B1 Kit is installed now, i.e. Quaife LSD, Front & Rear H&R ARB, Bilstein shocks, Birds Springs. Plus M3 control arms, solid rear subframe bushes, solid front collars, and Brintech headers. Tires are still RFT; next upgrade will be some PS4's. IMG_3039.mov

I've been super keen to share my awesome experience with you all since I got the B1 Dynamics Package installed on the 130i. I've taken it out for a few joyrides, it's really impressive! I took it for a spin on the great roads from Te Kauwhata to Raglan, and it was pure magic. My car felt like it was stuck to the road like glue. So incredibly stable! Now, let's talk about rain. Traction in the wet? It's amazing, honestly! I was a bit nervous at first, but my BMW just gripped the road like a champ. It's such a confidence booster! And the mid-corner power out? So stable! The B1 Dynamics Package has genuinely changed the game. No more worries when I hit the gas mid-corner. This upgrade is a game-changer, guys! If you're still contemplating getting the B1 Dynamics Package, just go for it! It's worth every penny and will have you grinning from ear to ear. I can't wait to take on more twisty roads and see what else this fantastic upgrade can do!

Finally installed the Brintech headers, they give you a sick little raspy growl when you hit the gas, but stay pretty chill otherwise. Perfect combo for a little sleeper. FullSizeRender.MOV

Sweet, I assume that plbe9x335i model also fits the e87 130i ? ECS seems to have it on backorder too.

is Safetech anygood? https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/bmw/brakes/listing/4033865750

...maybe supply chain issues? any advice on braided brake line kits?

All goodies have arrived 🙂

OMG... I would love to see one rip some dounts! 💨

Pulled the trigger on the brintechcustoms header.... then saw this: 😳

Sweet, wonder what the brintechcustoms header sounds like with the factory mid and rear sections?

Oh yea…. With factory centre and back.... and maybe laptorr exhaust later on hmmm... I assume the headers will bring the engine light on, as the oxygen sensor will be removed? Where is the best place to this installed in Auckland as someone would have to programme the engine control unit to stop the engine light coming on?

What is the Aussie option?

boom...

Sweet, thats the price of one BMW arm! Is Amazon us (not au) best place to purchase?

Hey Jacko, original plan was to get OEM M3 parts, as per below, but I wonder if there are TRW equivalents (as TRW make the parts for BMW?) to save some cash?

Thanks Jacko, can't wait... eyeing up the laptorr and milvs now... but might just get laptorr as milvs seem to be out of stock.
