9 weeks later, brace off... went for a drive. Now a few months of physio

Did you get what you wanted for it? Ill grab the chain tensioner if its still available, have nearly everything else NIB anyway 😪

Breaking news, you may not be aware, but, N52s leak oil.

Jeebus.

Number of 130s for sale on tardme just doubled.

Why dont you have 4 130s? I cant even get in the seat of my one 130 at the moment, fecking neck brace...

Metal seals on the ledges?

And you'll be able to look at the actual outputs of the MAF and see if they are crazy or bugging out etc.

Protools does coding.

My 2c - Vacuum/intake leak and FRM needs a digital kick. Get a proper scantool, bimmergeeks protools is a very good bet, and itll help you figure out both. Way to early for the parts cannon approach.

Ive pulled 130 box on jackstands, its not exactly fantastic but is doable.

Your going to need a red one now...

Does your have stop/start? If not, no need (from memory at least)

Have Varta in 130 and was in the 330, many years. Does battery stuff.

I think this might be peak "trying so desperately hard to be cool" Fake plastic Wilwoods (in Manukau)

Agreed, 130 pricing is flat as sh*t at the moment, cheapest in the world (clarkson voice)... but most of the ones on trademe look ropey as. I think you could get 12k, if you found the right buyer (and they would be getting good deal). The problem is finding the buyer at the moment. As sh*t as a it sounds, you might be better off financially to part it out and sell it "stock" as a looked after example on tardme. Or, dont sell it.

Thats not how cars work, since like 1998, pretty much everything in an E87 is on CANbus. Youll need coding to tell it it has cruise control hardware etc.

Bunch of E87s in pickaparts at the moment, they all code them wrong (F20s etc), but - https://www.pickapart.co.nz/eziparts/Display_Vehicle.asp?PriceListID=0&VehicleID=209232&Location=pickapartconz&VehicleDesc=BMW 1 Series 116i F20

Heya mate, Definite FRM issue is likely. I have protools which might be able to do it (Ive done it before, but cant remember what I used as was awhile ago). My laptop running all the BMW software shat itself and I haven't reinstalled it all again on the new one yet, should probably do that. Welcome to shoot around and can plug it in and see if can deal with it. Im in south auckland and currently around most of the time - 0210729458

I have a genuine one, you can borrow it if that helps.

I did an M50B25 swap in my old E30 and liked it, its not hard at all (I did it all myself, including wiring) and is well documented... they like to rev so its quite a fun swap, kinda like a 6 cylinder 4AGE (not as peaky as a 20v or something, but rev happy) If E30 prices werent stupid, I think id be playing with an N52B30 E30. Would be a pretty sweet machine and would be lighter than M20 and M50.

They wont be ripping you off.

Where did you take it?

I had to go back to A&E last night, to get nut antibiotics.... either my balls are so big from sending dangerous sh*t on the bike, or that catheter went really really wrong. I would genuinely rather piss myself than have one of them again.
