https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/other/listing/5045481827 Curious to write it off? Looks like pretty straight forward fix from the pics.
-
Curious, wonder what it is then... N55? Or maybe a 54 with +5
-
Saw a nice blue E87 badged "M140i" with 135i brakes on SH1 at Newmarket this arvo... Didnt have the quad exhausts but think it was HellBMs S65 monster?
-
Very f**ken impressive!
-
Nah it still sitting on the engine stand, work and life keeps getting in the way of working on the 130

realoem.com fcpeuro.com & ecstuning.com are your friends If you're on faceballs - "BMW 130i owners unite" is a great resource as well. Nice car, I was tempted for a bit to buy it and parts rob for mine!

Even Lister is taking the piss out of them now...
-
Jaguars board right now - Fire everyone involved. Delete it from the internet. It never happened. WTAF were they thinking, the brand that makes snarling supercharged V8s and the E-type....

Nice E28 at Mitre 10, forget how small they are compared to modern 5 series barges.
-
Its fine, I ran 19s with 235/35s for years. Got sick of bending rims on pot holes though.
-
DSG serviced at Kaspa, did a good job and good service, 5 hungy...
-
No idea, maybe the thermostat?
-
Waterpump and thermostat assembly replaced by Skoda/Giltrap under warranty, coolant tank must have failed pressure test as well so I paid to replace that... Fingers crossed this time! Its a good car, when its not shitting itself
-
Just dropped the under tray to take a look, f**ken bolt for the lower radiator hose bracket is missing... which will be the reason why the thing blew off 12 months ago... its only held on by luck and clip for last 12 months. Giltrap are absolute eggs. Leak looks to be coming from between the new thermostat and block, couple of O rings. I bet they didnt clean the mating surface properly as will have done the quickest sh*t job possible and not removed the intake manifold for access. Will go back to Skoda NZ, going to ask for a new waterpump and thermostat assembly and my money back on the previous "generous" 50% cost ($900) bucks on the previous sh*t work and then see if can take it to an independent VW specialist to install it properly... might be pushing my luck with that, but the dealerships are absolute hacks.
