N52B30 no good for dyno sheet penis size bragging, but point one at old taupo road and you'll be smiling at the end. As above, Ive had some stupid fast cars, they're pointless on NZ roads. Sub 6s 0-100 and good noises accompanying it are more than ample. Lots of info out there are about winding up the E82 125s, from memory they're actually less nerfed than the US 128s and its all in the DME flash. Check out babybimmer, there are a few on the 130 owners faceballs site too.

Have massively noticed a difference in the fuel bill dailying the 1.5l toyota CVT around town (happily on 91) and using the BMW on the weekends/longer journeys. Added bonus is it makes the 130/330 feel like a rocketship.

Thats a nice one, will be interesting to see what it goes for

I rate sunroofs, If I was going for another 130 sunroof would be one of the things Id look for The PDC sensors do look weird, they're outties rather than the usual innies, I wondered if it was a late model e87 thing rather than aftermarket? FWIW, my brakes that I bought off a wreck 135i for 1k, and rebuilt, ended up costing circa 3k on the car (thats all new parts other than the actual brakes to be fair, but I did do a lot of hunting around for best prices)...

Very nice spec, nice brakes, low ks. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/130i/listing/3405497952?bof=yRyhHk03

You do you, personally I think its an abomination that needs killing with fire Im not always right though.

I M130 I & I 130M I - Available.

Wow, that'd be a good buy, even it does need some love.

While pretty shitty on behalf of the guy selling it, if you got it for $1300... Id say thats still a reasonable price, its a lot of (dented) car for the money. You could probably part it out and double your money.

Fixed price offer of 6.6.... Why did I have to get my EOFY tax bill last week....

Ill allow that as an exception, Friends dont let friends buy 4 pot bmws that cost less than 6 figures for an average example and have an S series engine. Its not as catchy though.

Friends dont let friends buy 4 pot BMWs.

I get this often, normal price x 10 is the answer.

Yeah thought the same, asked the question still has it... The "advanti" wheels also erked me. Gruppe M intake was another one, this had an aftermarket strut brace, the BMWP front bar and exhaust (and the Advans) Itd be worth buying for bits, I suspect gremlins in it though... sat on Turners for ages at low price. I might go check it out this weekend, try swipe the bmwp exhaust for $50

Yeah thats the one that had the BMW performance exhaust

Factory option 302 - Alarm (sits in the rear left wheel well, pig to change battery on), fairly rare. As to an immobilizer though, you could argue the factory DME and smart key is an immobilizer.

4 big old charge receptacles in the back. I see no problem here.

I followed one of these the other day and it had water in the tail lights sloshing back and forth......

You'll need the little arm that that connects to the headlight leveling sensor too - M3 unit (couple of bucks)

Yeah the extra camber moves the top of the wheel inwards (as well as making the front end way more pointy). My ACS's (ET43 19x8.5) used to rub over bumps on the front gaurds with 235s, 225s didnt rub. LCAs solved it and can run 235 all around. Im on ET38 18x8.5 235/35 (so 1mm difference to Qube) and no rub with M3 LCAs (and mines a few mm lower)

M3 LCAs will probably do it, made the difference on mine.

Probably worth more than anything BMW made in estoril blue now anyway 😛

Perhaps if you bought a vacuum cleaner on pick up, then vacuumed underneath it, it would be considered complete.

Possibly, it does have ITBs. Said after driving it back from down south decided that screw turboing it, ITBs are the way There is something to be said about NA, even if slower, bouncing off the rev limiter in my old black top BZ-Touring was hilarious fun... wasnt fast but the noises and way it made power manically at 7500rpm probably made up for it. Need to get tweek the 130s "torque everywhere" engine setup and make it more manic
