Yea its def. a bit; but I've been sitting on this upgrade for too long.

Parts ordered, excited about the process and outcome; should have done this 8 years ago! lol. Any tips on wheel offsets for the standard wheels? Kinda wanna keep that OEM Plus look.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, much appreciated. Any tips on best place in Auckland to get this setup tuned after installation?

Before pulling the trigger... wonder if the Solid Rear Subframe Bushing Set might to harsh on the road?

hey Jacko, where did you source the headers from?

Considering upgrading headers for both noise and lilttle perfromance; Supersrpint website sent a 20% discount code for this left hand drive unit: https://www.supersprint.com/ww-en/bmw-e87/bmw-e87-130i-265-258-hp-2006--2012/manifoldbrleft-hand-drivebr-replaces-catalytic-converter.aspx#!/ Can this work with RHD? Anyone have experience with this?

Update: Landed on the following setup: Birds' B1 Dynamics Package Solution. (Customer Supplied) New Complete Quaife ATB Limited-Slip Differential New Complete QUAIFE LSD Differentials, which are new differentials ordered from BMW and converted with QUAIFE LSD. Birds B1 Anti-roll bar Birds B1 Sport Suspension For rear subframe bushes I used the Turner Motorsport but order them through ECS Tuning. Make sure you pay the extra for DHL! https://www.ecstuning.com/b-turner-motorsport-parts/solid-rear-subframe-bushing-set/tdr9080ss3/ M3 front control arms (4) (BMWorkshop Supplied) M3 rear upper control arms (4) (BMWorkshop Supplied) Front subframe collars (this does the same thing for the front subframe as the solid rear subframe bushes, gets rid of the variable wheel alignment!)

You're a legend

Sweet, sorry for the ignorance, learning on the fly here... so thats replacing the front, front control arm bushes with off centre (increased castor) spherical bushes aye?

Epic stuff… considering the same upgrade on my 170k kms 130i…. Birds B1 Dynamic and Superpro Bushes… is the Rear SuperPro Vehicle Kit - KIT191RK and SuperPro Control And Radius Alloy Arm Kit - ALOY0090K cover all the bushes? I’ll get BMWorkshop to install as there is no way I have the skills !

Thanks will get it touch with Birds, any tips on which brand of bushes for that OEM Plus performance?

Looking to upgrade my manual LCI 130i with the B1 Dynamics Package Upgrade, is the a NZ dealer for this?

beauty... any pics on the web of the e90 ZCP DCT's?

Yes, after the sedan version; might have to settle for a DCT.

That is unfortunate... I assume zero LCI manuals too?

Thanks for the insight Neil, think I might have seen that Space Grey ZCP DCT on TradeMe a few years ago.

I'm in the market for a manual E90 ZCP M3 and I was wondering if anyone here knows how many of these models were sold in New Zealand? Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.

Hi everyone, My first post here on the forum, so kid gloves if I'm asking a question that's been answered a million times! I have a e87 with factory 17 inch wheels I'd like to get the maximum staggered setup with some M3 CSL Replica 18 inch wheels, while still keeping the stock suspension and not rolling the arches etc... http://marsperformance.com.au/VMR-Wheels/V703 Would the below config work? VMR VB3 8.5x18" et40 225/40 18 (Front) 9.5x18" et45 245/35 18 (Rear) This is the only pic I could find with a e87 on CSL Replicas:
