Good work, now you can enjoy the car and not worry about it. How are you finding it so far?

@BM WORLD do u have any spare brent?

Good luck finding wheels. Super hard to find anything decent that fits these cars. high offset required..

Recently bought myself another one of these after owning one previously for 2 years then selling it. Great cars. My first one was stage 1 tuned with a charge pipe and boost pipe upgrade, m performance exhaust. Current one has VRSF downpipes and charge pipe but standard exhaust and no tune. First 'mod' to do is definitely charge pipe. Then coils and plugs if you need it. Depending on kms, waterpump and thermostat might be due soon and intercooler would be a nice upgrade if planning to stage 1 or 2 tune it in the future. Regarding brands, plenty of options out there. Invest in some good tyres to somewhat mitigate the lack of LSD since these cars can break traction quite easily with the low torque power. Most important thing to do on these cars is oil change, oil change and oil change. Never go past 10,000kms per interval and always use good quality fully synthetic 5w-30 or 5w-40 oil and a good filter. Otherwise, brilliant cars and will surely put a smile on your face.

Saw ya drive past on penrose road - crazy traffic jam today eh! seems like u got the window all fixed 👍

Looking for a set or two sets of lock bolts with key Size m14x1.25 i believe the E chassis style does not fit thanks!

I got mine from FTP motorsport for around $250usd. (made in taiwan) there are other more expensive options out there for brand name parts like VRSF etc but honestly mine was absolutely fine and quality was good. easy enough to fit with a bit of time and patience

Yep. Very common issue. Get a aluminium replacement and fit. The plastic ones all break eventually. U can still drive it kind if but wont have any power. Ive had it happen to me on my first m135 and the new m135 i bought has had it replaced already.

I reckon they must be reps that suit the 3 series so around et35-40

to me it looks like a weird mix between an GT-R35 and a GT86.. dont understand the front triangles and why the kidney grill slats are wavy..

is it @euroriffic's old one?

I also vouch for SJ, I try to get our cars to him whenever possible and I am also based in south auckland. Absolutely worth the drive (twice) to know our car is getting the best service done by a professional.

without knowing more details, but assuming its in good condition and manual I would say its a bit on the cheap side especially if it is properly certed. pictures speak a thousand words, give us the details, kms on body, kms on engine (proof?), why was it sitting for a year? is rego on hold or dereg? mechanically mint? physically good condition? msport bodykit was it from factory or swapped on? is it also msport interior?

Would definitely stay away from generic wheels shops to get a “cheap” set of replica wheels especially on something like an M car. getting a decent set of quality brand name wheels would be in the thousands (like $5000+) for 19” staggered so unless you were planning to spend upwards of $6-7000 incl tyres I would be careful before deciding to put some $2000 wheels and $1000 rubber that just look the part

wow, this is a very interesting car. the grey leather interior is quite nice and that wood trim is definitely not the standard "wood" trim.

cracked up at this

Its so disgusting even the car is trying to eject it out of the dash

Do it..

man this thing is beautiful. big six with a 5 speed manual box, cant really complain!

saw ya driving thru the mt vic tunnel the other day. looked great!

^ depends on the brand of the disk and pads. I just priced up 4 Brembo ceramic pads and 4 Brembo UV coated rotors and it comes to about $500 landed in NZ

mr nobody drinking too much mt difficulty wines it seems..

do u guys not like to have fun?

thats so messed up.. and its crazy because its such a model specific part. will probably end up on a 116i with 20" rimz
