Welcome, car looks great! Good to see more n55 135i's on here The weepy gearbox seems to be a common thing with the dct's. Mine had the same issue, ended up doing a full gearbox service with new sump etc. Been 2 years now and no issues
-
Especially a 335i with the mods above. Lsd and upgraded sway bars on the 335i will bridge the gap in handling significantly
-
I was quoted $600-$900 plus GST for the labour alone by a BMW specialist for my e82 n55. Not sure if the F chassis cars would mean an easier install but certainly not cheap.
-
Yep as above, recommend test driving a n55 DCT model if you haven't yet. I was a manual die hard prior to getting my n55 135i. Have owned it almost 2 years now and still nowhere close to being bored of it. The DCT mated to this motor is an epic package
-
Tell me about it. Time flies. Just hit 100 000km the other day actually. Truly expected and budgeted for a whole lot of maintenance/repairs prior to buying it but BMW seems to have nailed it with this motor. Touch wood.
-
Nice! I've had mine coming up to 2 years now, same combo n55 with the DCT. Has been a pleasure to own, not a single issue so far. Just such a fun package. You'll love it
-
DC2 Honda Integra would be top of my list. the b18c is lots of fun. Loads of potential to handle really well for a FWD. Have owned about 7 or 8 of them in the past. Just lacks the modern safety stuff
-
News to me. Beaurepairs replaced mine on my 135i with pilot sport 4's with no issues (in Auckland). Best 'mod' for them, transformed the driving experience completely.
-
No reversing camera! No deal ?

Looks like they do: http://otomoto.mobile034.com/p/9226364/bmw-e87-130i-superlock-lsd-by-os-giken-to-suit-n52-engine.html Pretty sure the auto 130i would have the same diff/ratio as a auto 135i anyway so would work
-
LSD is such a massive benefit on these. That alone would've sold me on the car. Great buy?

read out millage E91 found out engine VIN is different than chassis VIN

Yeah i just came across it one day while scrolling through ebay (was actually $7nzd at the time lol) and thought i'd give it a go for the heck of it. It's just an older version of Carly that they send you with instructions. -

Was $10. Worked great, just got to follow the instructions they send -
Woow 20k for an engine rebuild...
-
First step should be to get the car scanned at a reputable workshop to figure out what the issue actually is.
-
Glws, pretty much my car's twin haha. Out of curiosity, has your catch can caught much?
-
20-30mm for cars with factory Msport suspension from memory. These have been sold. Forgot to update sorry
-
Yeah have seen that kit cheaper on e-bay
-
$1024+gst from George Stocks ?
-
Hmm wonder how much it'll be. Looks like a decent alternative. Might give George Stocks a ring
-
wonder what the oil looked like in one of those after 50 000kms..
-
Yep mine literally crumbled in my hand when i pulled it off
-
Welcome! I also moved from a long line of Hondas to a 135i and it's been awesome. Hope your issues get sorted and it's nothing major. Looks like a really tidy example
-
I had previously used Darren Mckillop from Auto-Car-Tel ltd. Going back a few years now but was extremely happy with the valuation. He understood modified/improved cars really well

Yeah i'm considering an IS-f as a next car. Have to agree the interior is a let down but the driving experience does make up for it a bit.
