Need a build thread on your car @Hutty008!

Will find out, dont actually have much of a plan other than "I need that intake".... It might get sold with the ACS 19s on it.

Yup it does, the upper lid is very different to stock (and the carbon snorkel obviously)

2007 130i Boston Lemon leather, fine wood light walnut, comfort lights and Msport. BMWP 313 wheels, Arqray exhaust and the rocking horse sh*t BMWP intake. Cool spec cool bits on it, the interiors pretty pimp (and the intake and exhaust sound the part). Has literally all the minor issues, poor things just been neglected for awhile. Will be a bit of a project to unf**k and fix it all, then will sell it on as I really cant justify 3/4 cars. First step will be one epic interior and exterior clean, and see if there are any other goodies hiding.

I now have 2 130s.... Lots of oil leaks and the usual stuff, along with a bunch of electrical gremlins (most are likely result of few flat batteries), but its worth saving and probably robbing some parts off.

Looks like as real ropey example, but...

On facebook, looks pretty solid just needs some love and odd spec with boston lemon interior. Auto LCI, BMWP 313s, Arqay symetrical thrust exhaust and PS5s.... sounds like she wants less than 4k.

The price of basic car cleaning products right now, wtaf... $70 for wheel cleaner? $60 for carwash? Someone in the supply chain is making an absolute killing.

Car porn.

HES A HOSS. GOBBLESS.

Thats actually been de-pimped! The sailwin sportway cheapest sh*t tyres on planet earth, with "supercar spec" sidewalls is just class.

Great format and content, reminds me of garage 4AGE, need more of this.

Thats been retrofitted or maybe was right on the switch over or something weird? If they got optioned with that dial its the vacuum/economy gauge and not oil temp.

Only LCIs got oil temp, I retrofitted it by switching around eproms with a soldering iron and coding f**kery into my PreLCI. I think you could code the "economy" gauge in some PreLCI manuals to do oil temp, but obviously the scale wont be right. Its worth doing as even most OBD2 tools cant figure out the PID for BMW oil temp.

Surprising how little customisation was available for the 6 and 7s, thought would be able to spec them all kinds of stupid, even the colours are all beige as. Seems like 1s & 3s got the most options.

Mine definitely primes the pump in certain circumstances, like doors etc, always has done. The Skoda is worse, if you open the bonnet can hear relays clicking and lots of things whirring... putting itself into emissions check mode I suspect

And standard brakes, painted red.

If anyones after a brown LCI interior, kinda cool. https://www.turners.co.nz/Damaged-Vehicles/Damaged-Cars-for-Sale/bmw/130i/26661542

Could be anything from a wrecked guibo to vanos solenoids. Avoid magic potions, they dont work in gearboxes or engines.

The aeros quite subtle! https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/130i/listing/5254891721
