Which is why i have the m135i over my old 130i

twin turbo0o0o

 

Haha you mean single turb0o0o0o or have you converted yours to twin? That 130i would be plenty of fun for sure and is a lot of car for the money. The one thing i wish the 135i/335i's came with from factory is an LSD

So I bought the modules needed to flash stage 1 tunes. And it fails everytime. Had errors like error packet 4, then error packet 6. 

Now it fails just to flash back to my stock backup....

Don't know what to do ..

Is your device in airplane mode? I was having similar issues when i first did it. All good after putting it in airplane mode.

Oh man that sucks. Feel for you. Really hope the warranty company comes through for you....so you can sell it and get a 6 cylinder

Mine only lost Nav when it went back to BMW for a service which was before I flashed it. Have heard its an issue for Japan imports with CIC idrives that have been converted here. Haven't taken it in to get looked at yet so not sure if it can be sorted by Auto Gravity etc

The DCT is available in both models though?

These are still available

Boost?

Are these lows? What sort of drop? I'm keen!

They're the Sport springs. Slight drop from the factory Msport ride height. They're currently on hold pending pick up later this week. Will be in touch if the sale falls through ?

Sorry if anyone has texted me, should have mentioned that I've been overseas so have not been able to reply via text. 

Cheers

Still have these. Make me an offer

Yeah take it off and post results here haha. Will take mine off too if it serves no purpose in NZ 

I remember being told that was the sensor related to the auto dimming mirror. Not sure how true this is. Some sort of ambient light sensor that determines when to activate the auto-dim function. 

Love that interior colour

Actually it says "Vehicle has water in radiator and oil in engine." which is where I'd expect those fluids to be...

 

Haha reading fail!

Sounds to be a head gasket issue. Auction details state water in oil, oil in radiator

No, they disable the emissions error codes which does the job as long as it's still connected. When the connector is unplugged you get a different error code which MHD doesn't disable.
I've asked for them to disable this code too but as I'm apparently the only one with this issue they don't want to spend time on it.

I might try to plug the sensor in and tie it to something in the engine bay some day. But I suspect the weird readings it'll get from doing that might cause other issues. 
And I have to take apart crap in the engine bay to reach the connector which I don't want to deal with now haha. 

Makes sense. The CEL would annoy the heck outta me though..haha. wonder if a 90 degree O2 spacer would allow it to fit? Guess I wont know till I install the pipe, or attempt to

Just watch out for RHD fitment. The VRSF E series N55 downpipe did not state anything for RHD fitment on the page... and as it turns out you can't plug in the secondary O2 due to the steering rack.

Usable... just means even MHD won't disable the check engine light. 

Thank you for that. Was wondering about this. Does the secondary O2 normally get disabled anyway by mhd on LHD cars? 

I recently purchased one of the Viofo WR1 capacitor cameras from Ebay for around $90nzd landed. Looking forward to trying it out. Seems to have good reviews online

Changing the angel eyes bulbs in a 1 series requires removing wheel well liners. Or, dislocating wrists, dropping the bulbs and then removing the wheel well liners to get the bulbs back.

 

They must've made it much easier for the 135i's then. Mine took about 15 minutes to do both sides, don't recall struggling too much to do them and definitely didn't have to remove the liners. That would be frustrating

Oh man that's horrible..

Doesn’t matter bro still the same Gearbox and TCU. 

Oh right so you have the updated gearbox software? Sorry fail at reading,  I thought you meant the tune to suit the dct. Legend,  Will pm you

I've got a DCT on my 135i but it's n55

I have been running MHD Stage 1+ for about 12 months now and have had no issues. I have an AMS intercooler and VRSF charge pipe. I tried linear throttle mapping but didn't like it. I am keen to move to stage 2 but will need to remove the cats. My question for those that have removed the cats is how tricky is it? At Stage 1 + I am pretty happy but my issue is traction especially off the line. I might look at the torque limitation option but would be keen on people's opinions here. I could of course get off my arse and order an LSD and fix things properly.

What tyres are you running? I was having heaps of traction issues until I swapped for Pilot Sport 4's. So far so good, will have to see what happens when i move onto stage 2. 

I was quoted about $900+gst just for labour for the downpipe installation and that's for a N55. So i'll be giving it a go myself. Have heard the n54 can be a bit trickier

That sounds awesome. I have all of the above parts sitting waiting to be installed bar the catch can(n55), just have not had the time to install. Did the tune change the characteristic of the DCT at all? I cant imagine shifts getting any quicker in sport mode but there's certainly improvements to be made for normal driving. My golf gti's DSG seems to be more responsive/smarter driving around town

I've been running it for about a year now. Just the stage 1 ots map so far. Who did the custom tune on yours? 

Was wondering the same thing. They look really good on paper
