    Will not fit a RHD, the steering column will interfere. @Jacko has experience with RHD manifolds from AliExpress, best for him to comment.

    Still havent had a chance to try fit them yet, reports are varied if they actually fit... I keep having to do this "work" thing, and its getting tedious. 

     

    If you want something that definitely fits, the aussie option works and has proven significant gains, its just not cheap.

    Epic stuff… considering the same upgrade on my 170k kms 130i…. Birds B1 Dynamic and Superpro Bushes… is the Rear SuperPro Vehicle Kit - KIT191RK and SuperPro Control And Radius Alloy Arm Kit - ALOY0090K cover all the bushes? I’ll get BMWorkshop to install as there is no way I have the skills !

    Yup, but Id grab some stock spherical bushings (they arent covered by the PU kit) for the rear hubs as well. HellBM has the tools I used to do it.

    Not really uncommon, particularly on the pre-FL cars, not really a loss either as wasnt even very good when new and just dates cars when ages, may not have even been an option on the early kiwi cars. 

    NZ 130s being lower speced than japanese is nonsense :D There are literally only 32 of them, 13 manuals, most got xenons etc. The only true poverty pack one Ive seen is one thats now a race car, was a red 2005, looked to be first one in the country - Manual/Non M/Halogen lights/no options etc... kinda gave the impression it was imported to be a race car.

    How much were these, verses a 130i at the time? I have no idea but I suspect any premium was low, and if that's the case then I'd expect not a lot different in today's terms. Only very special cars justify a very special price.

    Was curious so went to look it up, only pricing I could find for both was UK 2006

    Z4 3lsi roadster 34000 british peso, 32500 for coupe, 130i 31500 britsh peso (both base manuals).. roughly 2.8 exchange to NZ in 2006. I cant remember where I found it, but my NZ new 130 was 95k NZD with option boxes ticked, which was like $15k+ more than a golf R32... Wonder why they didnt sell very well :D 

     

    Soo... 130 under priced or Z4 3.0 over priced.

    Replaced the dogbone bush with a powerflex one, no more wheel hop or bang noises when ya give it the beans in low gears, problem solved!.... but NVH through the cabin at idle is awful (near unbearable... this 4 pot is not refined...) Doh.

    Going to have to rethink this and look for other options.
