  1. That S50B30 developed either rod knock, or some lifter issue. Ended up being pulled and replaced with an S50B32, which is what he ran in it most of the time until deciding to sell that setup and put his spare M52 in.

    I couldn't find any 328i coupes listed to base a price off, so I'm likely dreaming at this price.

    We really should organise to ship all our FCP orders together though. Or could that get us picked up. 

    A friend of mine last month split his order over two to avoid GST, but FedEx ended up picking up on it and he had to fork out once they landed. Seems like they don't care about anything less than $400 at the moment.


  3. Any members here in Wellington have a scan tool I could scan my 135i with? Have an ABS/DSC/FTM light popping up. I'm guessing it's just another wheel speed sensor, had to replace one last year. FCP's got their Cyber week sale endnig in the next day so if you have one available tonight that would be great :)


  4. Just read the comments regarding dealers claiming faults under your warranty, I bought my 135i last year from a dealership in Auckland and had a check engine light on the way home almost immediately. Turned out it was the HPFP and the dealer had already told me any issues in the first couple months he would pay excess. I almost knew it would have had some issue because he was using it as his daily.

    I didn't really think much into it, because it wouldn't cost me to repair it. I took it to the BMW dealer down here and they found the codes and they were historic so it was a prior issue before purchase, yet warranty still covered it and the seller/dealer paid the excess once I sent him the invoice. I even had the pre-purchase inspection done by a BMW dealership in Auckland and they hadn't picked up on it.

    Lovely example.

     

    do you get much hassle from the fuzz for the plates?

     

    curious as I’m looking at buying a set myself.

     

    Nah not down here in Wellington, I've had them since I bought the car in March last year and have been all over the place and never had any issues.

    With those mods you could comfortably run the stage 2+ map. Pretty sweet deal to have all those mods come with the car, considering the cost and effort it takes to have that added to a stock car :)

     

    Yeah I bought the bolt on's to be able to Stage 2/2+, but even at Stage 1+ it's a massive difference over stock and I found it's more than enough, without an LSD in these it's hard enough to put the power down as it is :D
