Really nice car Love the e90 m3.

Im interested in your 130 .... how does it run ? looking into getting one myself.

Thanks!

130i goes great! Awesome little car with the N52B30 engine and in manual. Pretty good on gas for what it is if that is of any concern, practical hatchback shape. Its actually the second one i've owned.

Thanks everyone!

Hi Everyone,

Haven't stopped by bimmersport in a while, but always a huge BMW (and Porsche) fan, so I thought i'd post and re-introduce myself and my current car. Use to roam around some of the other NZ euro car forums.

Currently have an 2009 E90 M3 in Melbourne Red. NZ new and manual not DCT. For those who are interested, some of the modifications so far...

- 19" TSW Nurburgring Wheels

- B&G S2 Sport Springs

- E46 ZHP Gear Knob

- 35% Tinted Windows

- Tinted Tail Lights (not in these photos)

- Exhaust "Tweaks"

- AFe Air Filter and Scoops

- Matt Black Trim Tweaks

Some pics with the other car (E87 130i) and my friends E30 325i...

A mate is selling this. Such a very nice car, wish I didn't have a mortgage

Best specked E91 in NZ easy.

Thanks for posting this Apex. Open to offers as the TradeMe ad says if anyone is interested. Will be very sad to see it go.

Will post up better photos when the weather is good enough!

Looking good mate. Any more pics?

Cheers! Nah, none worth posting anyway haha

No prob!

Did I buy my K&N air box off you???

Ha! Yes I believe you did

Thanks all

Modifications to date:

- AC Schnitzer bits including body kit and alloy wheels

- Lowered

- K&N Panel Filter

- 35% Tints

Pics updated :-)

Oh yea...forgot about the RWD bit...it was a bit of a given for me :-P

Yea, I took the MKV R32 for a spin. Was quite disappointed really. Made a nice sound, but the overall package just didn't appeal to me as much as the 130i. Interior of the R32 wasn't really up to scratch, there is loads of them around, 130i has heaps more options. Drive was, gear shift has a long throw compared to the 130i (hate that), was a softer ride then the 130i (too soft for my liking), and was quite noisey in the cabin going down the motorway.

The 130i is smaller inside, but I don't need a big car :-P

Possibly the first E87? Any others around?

EDIT: I meant first E87 in Bimmersport???

Thanks all!

Yea i'll definately put some pics of the E36 up as well when I get some decent ones. Gotta wait for this weather!

Oh and the other car in the background in one of those pics is a E36 323i with AC Schnitzer body kit. Its my partners car :-)

Hey all!

This is my first post in BimmerSport but frequent EuroSport.org.nz and have been for a while now! Picked up my new car a few weeks ago. Its a 2007 BMW 130i SE MSport, absolutely loving it!

Is a 6spd manual (wouldn't have it any other way) with the usual MSport stuff. Wheels are off a Z4.

Factory options include: front PDC (only rear is standard), Xenon headlamps and washers, cruise control.

No mods yet (apart from a stubby antenna and 35% tints) but plan to get some sort of exhaust/intake when I can find someone that makes them for the 130i!

Previously owned a Honda S2000, Mazda RX8 Type-S, and a MKIV VW Golf GTi.

Oh, and I know Apex as he is a EuroSport member as well :-)
