My manual 130i up for sale.

2005 BMW 130i - Manual Asking: $7000 firm for Bimmersport and on Monday 28th I will put it out to Trademe and Facebook at $8000ono Phone, TXT or message me on here. Dan - 0211887733 Chassis: E87 Production Date: 27/10/2005 Rego: HWR717 VIN: WBAUF92030PS88568 WOF: 01/10/25 Rego Exp: July 25 KM's: 212800 Engine: N52B30 Color: Exterior: Black Sapphire Metallic Interior: Leather Black Wheels: BMW Style 386 from a F2* Tyres: New Laufenn (Hankook sub) Z Fit (Best bang for buck by far in NZ) Brakes: Near new stock pads but I don't like them and would upgrade to Hawk/Endless/Padgid street pads. Engine: - Has had a new water pump at some stage by previous owner The following has been completed by me in the last year - Oil Filter and Oil Cooler gaskets - Valve Cover gasket and valvetronic gasket - Vanos control solenoids and o-rings - Camshaft Position Sensor - Rear Main Crankshaft Seal - Baffled Oil Catch Tank installed to replace junk factory PCV system. Gearbox: - Valeo single mass conversion kit. This includes a new flywheel, pressure plate, clutch disk, thrust bearing, spigot bearing, flywheel bolts. Installed by me following correct procedure. - Removal of CDV (Clutch Delay Valve) which slows clutch release for comfort driving but terrible for feel. - Replaced Driveshaft couplings x 2 Result: The clutch is much more direct and sharp compared to the dull factory duel mass flywheel. Perfect for spirited driving and track days. A little sharp but not terrible for comfort traffic commuting. Servicing: Engine - Penrite 5w-30 HPR every 5000kms Engine - Hengst Oil Filters every 5000kms Gearbox - Penrite 75w-80 Trans Gear <8000kms Diff - Penrite 75w-90 Pro Gear <8000kms Cabin Air Filter - <8000kms Engine Airbox Filter - <8000kms New Windscreen - Jan 25 The Negatives: Aesthetics are average. "Good from afar, far from good". Bonnet and Roof paint is in poor condition. Common for black/blue E87's. I could have this painted for you for $1350. Both front guards are dented. Number of scratches and small dents on the paint/body. Interior is clean but could use a little color touch up on the front seats. Headliner is being held by pins - I expected this to annoy me but I forgot it was a problem. Steering wheel has a wrap as it is in terrible condition. Stereo recently decided it no longer wants to boot up. None of the above bothered me as the car was to be used as a track car with the idea to turn it into a full race car or Targa car. It could easily be tidied up. It has only had one soft track day at Manfeild where it performed well other than me not loving the new brake pads. The car would be happy doing round after round. Doesn't get hot, oil temp stays low. However I already have a dedicated race car and so does the wife. I am putting my efforts back into my race car. I also own 3 of these 130's. Keeping one as my commuter (been that way for 6 years) and another will be sold also (both Autos).

I keep going back and looking at that interior. What a place to be. I'm usually happy with older easy to maintain BMW's...

Miss mine too. I keep thinking I should replace all these 130i's with a 5 series. Check out the interior on this one. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/530d/listing/5272509466

Someone should buy this one and my manual one and make one amazing car.

GM has a silver metal pan. Zf has a black plastic pan.

Same as my car. Love the color. Boston aka Terracotta.

As it's an 07 you will likely have the GM gearbox. Which is well known for it's shudders. Usually caused by the torque converter wearing. It's been discussed on the forum a number of times. To solve my GM shudder I changed the fluid and filter (which is not built into the pan on the GM box) and added Lubeguard Shudder Fix (aka Dr Tranny's Shudder Fix in the USA). I did all this at around 120,000kms. It has never shuddered once in 70,000kms since. This GM box and its variants is used in many different US vehicles. Google GM torque converter shudder. Common problem. Lubegaurd does work and you can get it from Repco.

You may still need to spend a lot of money on bringing the car up to standard too. The motor (where all the money is) would probably need a refresh (if it hasn't already) because if you lunch it you have a worthless vehicle and will be looking to spend another $15K + rebuild for a replacement.

I ordered something from Chch on the 1st of April. Picked up by NZC on the 2nd. In transit. No further info. Still not seen it. I ordered something from Estonia on the 29th of March. It updated me every step of the way. It was waiting for me at work this morning. Are we spoiled by great world wide shipping? Or does NZ have absolute crap service and I should be more patient?

What on earth.. I want a Convertible, but it must be a boring color. I want it to look sporty, but get great economy. But be spicy enough that it is still fast, but make it 4WD so it's safe. I like the base model steering wheel so add that....

I am incredibly aware of this unfortunately.

Oh what did I miss?

I know that opinion ruffles a few old man feelings here . This car looks dated compared to other facelift E39's I've seen lately. Saw a red 530i Msport the other day (not seen one in years) and it looked great. Still modernish. Edit: Ah I know what it is. The black trim. On the green it makes it look like a base model. On the Red it contrasts so much it somehow looks good. Maybe a color match would solve this.

TBH my initial comment was based on three things I don't like. Old Man Green BMW's Old Man tan interiors Simmons wheels Sounds like a lot of work has been done though. Most of us would prefer to spend that money on OEM+ restoration like Sreten these days.

Has to be a place holder price.

Annoying when you want to sell two in the next few months.

I just couldn't believe how much of a celebrity/race car driver specticle it was. I had no idea George Harrison raced in one. And Sir Jackie Stuart is giving him stick in the clip.

So many big names in this race. Amazing.

Similar query from a few weeks back. See my comment about Takapuna Panel and Paint.

Same reason I have 3 130s. 😅

05 manual for the first. 07 auto is missing a pin like yours.

Here you go. 5 pin hole plug. 5 pin MAF.
