Could well be. Mentions he got it for $6K. Not bad.

I see the kiwi car life guy has got another manual 130i. Can't stay away from them.

No he's a youtuber based in Illinois.

Oh that's rough. It must have been fatigued already.

Woh. How did you manage that?

The real hero of that Video.

My issue is I have hardly driven the car with the DMF. Though I did find the gear changes quite soft and a bit lazy. All my other manuals have modified clutches though so I can't really compare them something that is meant to be quite nice to drive.

Yeah SMF conversion. The rear main seal is leaking pretty bad. Oil coming out between the engine and box. This gets onto the flywheel and causes it to slip badly. It should always be replaced when replacing the clutch. I forgot to get the sealant kit you need with it.

Changed out the valve cover gaskets on the PFL 130i today. Simple job. Someone's done it before and reinstalled the partially stripped bolts you are meant to replace. I pulled out the CCV valve and replaced it with a baffled catch can too. The old one had been boogied up and was dropping oil everywhere. I have to say. As annoying as it is to have a built into the cover one on the FL models I much prefer it to having to pull the manifold off to get to the PFL one. Next on the list is the clutch. Which I think has been killed by a leaking rear main. Start that tomorrow.

It was a comfortable fit for me at 6ft and 100kgs. You would not want to be much bigger though.

*SOLD* New condition never used. Only pulled from its bag to test fit. Sparco Pro ADV $750 for Bimmersport This was purchased for my race car but I left NZ and it was never used. It is a 2013 seat so no good for FIA race series. Link to chart for sizing. https://www.sparcousa.com/Content/Images/uploaded/Sparco Seat Dimension 2017 v2.pdf It is also listed on Tardme for much more.

From what I have read the pump can be replaced without touching the module. You just need to run the dcs adaptation things via insta. The module will need to have the Vin coded to it. Do you know what they are using to program the modules? Hopefully not bricked them. @promo might be able to recover them for you.

Did the dsc module fail or the abs pump fail? What are you using to program the module?

I feel like Dave @M3AN did this.

The N47 had some serious timing chain issues which were fixed around 2011. I would look into this some more and make sure it is not one of the older generation motors. But 150,000kms for a BMW diesel is nothing.

These are great. Friend has one. Commutes from Carterton to Wellington. Nissan Note Nismo https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/nissan/note/listing/4747590668 Nice interior, handle well, can go further than the shops and back. They are a series hybrid. So electric motors with a ICE generator.

My only issue with the 1M is that they are mostly owned by collectors. They would make a great car to modify and play with like the M3's and M4's. A B58/S58 swap would be great in these cars.

I stopped using them years ago due to a similar experience. It seems importing goods in a cost effective way has gotten much more narrow over the last few years. Just means everyone pays more. And trash like temu succeeds and in turn costs the country millions.

Yeah sorry the figures I put up someone had rounded down to 5000lbs. Crazy weight. Seems there is very little innovation outside of slapping in a giant battery and an electric motor.

At 2.3ton. It's no dream of mine.

Setup Bimmersport. Let dogs out of car.

Love it. DHL charges $7 per item on the waybill if there are more than 5 items. I have 11 items. Some are only $11NZD. They are slapping them with a $7 processing fee. The bonus. This is a hidden fee. They do not itemize it on your "Duty" bill. They do not mention it anywhere I can find on their website either. Check this out. So it was about $1500NZD. GST on Importation = 231.00 Entry Fee GST = 11.99 Entry Fee = 79.90 Multiline Entry = 48.30 Duty Tax Processing = 23.00

Customs stopped my parts order. It's unfortunately just over $1000NZD. I must provide them with my Customer Number if I have one or apply for a new one. I have one but need to confirm the details in the background are correct. They state this process takes 3 business days. DHL told me it has been taking them a lot longer. So it took 4 days including the weekend to arrive from ESTONIA. It's now going to sit at DHL until customs decides to reply to me. I am betting I don't see this package until the end of next week. If these parts were not nearly 3 x the price or substandard brands in NZ I would almost be deterred from buying them overseas.
