http://www.ts-export.com/jpa-b.php?id=mRGrQl6tNM9E4ok&t=st little bit of digging and found it on the auction website. sold for just shy of 24k nzd

I mean, sure its cool...... but is it really 75K cool?? yeah, really don't think so somehow, I fully appreciate the time and effort that has gone into it though perhaps a potential buyer will have some drug money to make disappear, because i'm certain if anyone had 75k.... that wouldn't be the car of choice 😂 shoot me for my thoughts but I can't be the only one

the drugs are real

have one, not actively selling it though could sell it if the price was right, but won't be giving it away in any form

Assuming this is for coupe? have some vert ones here

I did see that! I assume from the vague listing that it will likely be from the e90 m3 so a v8 one not a 6 unfortunately

Nope. it either all goes or not at all

PM sent.

pm sent... looks like the mods have removed my reply for no reason at all 🙄

yeah they are dirt cheap out of the UK and US, if we have to we will bring one in from there!

correct, but we already have one for the 135/335 M3/M4 F-series boxes

unfortunately not due to the different bell housing!

Hi guys! looking to borrow some valvetronic spring tools for a n52, anyone out there have some we could borrow for a few days? beers/cash provided

On the hunt for a Gs7d36sg dct box! looking to mate it behind our Ls1 for a bit of fun 😂 needs to be a 6 cylinder one so either a 335 or later f series one. anythjng around?

think I am about to beat me head against a brick wall until certain death takes place...... replaced all of the above and the issue still remains. intermittent functionality of the valvetronic motor is still the main issue. Sometimes it will operate and other times it wont. Still get the same "valvetronic range" fault when it isn't operating. so the next question.... if the dme is telling the eccentric shaft to be at certain angle, but the valvetronic motor motor isn't operating to do so what exactly controls the valvetronic motor? possibility of it being a dme issue and not switching power to the correct side of the valvetronic motor?

Guess we will know tomorrow if I have the 130 sorted! didn’t end up being too bad. About $700 for the sensor,motor,breather pipe and rocket cover gasket kit!

probably all high on meth at the time. could have been a fun meeting

this is the way it is meant to be they have a reverse lockout solenoid on them, that only activates from 0-10 kmph. this makes it easy to get into reverse whist stationary and makes it near impossible to get it into reverse of you are traveling over the set speed where it de-activates the solenoid It is to stop people going into reverse by accident because 5th and reverse are quite close together

Just realised that this thread got a little bit left behind 😂 anyway, engine has been in and running for a wee while now with a NA setup, staying that way for now until we get some more things sorted on the car finally got the wilwoods onto her this afternoon and dayum 😍😍 currently have the engine out of it, we fully rebuilt it before it went in but have had some troubles with the rear main seal so chucked a new one in, brake lines and a few other bits sorted whilst we are in there! about to start on some aero to get some better flow through the engine bay as it gets a little toasty in there!

still have this sitting here

Had another dig at it this morning, checked the relay, that was all fine but had a new one here so swapped it to be sure. had a bit of a play around, manually wound the eccentric shaft to half way through its movement and then tried to run the self calibration, and surprisingly...... it moved..... but only in one direction only and would not do the full sweep! decided that it was time to have a look at the sensor, so pulled it off, pulled the back out of it and what would you know, it’s full of oil like their usual failures are! have just ordered a new sensor, valvetronic motor, gaskets and seals to chuck put it all back together and hopefully the issue will be solved!

Need one of my floor mount shifters to go behind it! running one of them behind out tr6060 in the track car and it's 😍

now on this topic, I need some thoughts from the fellow 130'ers Currently dealing with a 2a39 - dme valvetronic adjustment range fault in it. On the scanner (a big launch one) and Insta+ the Eccentric shaft sensor will read at 217 degrees, yet the specified angle is 0 degrees (when the code is present) if you clear the code, and drive the car it won't come back until you have turned it off and started it a few times yet will still be reading angles as the above. Sometimes, it will randomly have a "normal specified" angle at idle of around 25 degrees, and will increase with RPM as it is meant to, and the sensor will read that the eccentric shaft is doing what it is meant to where it is meant to, when this happens the 2s39 code is not present (no surpriseses there) so far this is what I have checked/done/discovered 1) Have run a valvetronic calibration in INSTA this has not solved the problem, although id did successfully calibrate 2) Eccentric shaft sensor plug full of oil, common issue, for not have cleaned it out and will put a new seal into the rocker cover when it goes back together. This did not change anything, 3) self valvetronic calibration. as some may know, there is a self calibration with you first put the key in and turn the ignition on to ACC, This does not complete every time like it should once powered on, When this self calibration does complete, there is a "normal specified" angle and sensor function throughout the rev range until the car is turned off and restarted. When this calibration does not complete itself I get the odd read at 217 degrees, yet the specified angle is 0 degrees. When this test doesn't complete itself, the valvetronic motor will just sit there and make a slight movement but not the whole range 4) I have pulled the rocker cover off to check the eccentric shaft it looks ok, no teeth missing and moves though its motion as it should without the valvetronic motor on it 5) I have tested the valvetronic motor on the bench seems to be fine, isn't "slow" it lacking "oompf" like a failing motor would. so as at the moment I am a little stumped, but these are my current thoughts on where to/what next Potentially the valvetronic motor has an intermittent fault which could explain the success and failures of self calibration Eccentric shaft sensor playing up, although unlikely as I always get a reading out of it putting a new Motor and sensor into it doesn't worry me in the slightest and will most likely end up doing them anyway but does anyone have and thoughts on things to try/ways to eliminate what the issue isnt?

Yup that is the one, have spent a few days on it now going through things and sorting a few niggly issues with it New rear window winder, front drivers seat wasn't going through all movements so but a new switch control unit on the side of it, sorted out the headlights, new rear wheel bearing the list goes on. Previous owners had had it for a few years but parked it up when it developed a rotational clunk in the back which was the wheel bearing. Have had it up on a hoist and there are no oil leaks to be seen and generally the underside seems to be in fairly good condition. It's by no means a perfect car, but even at the 10k mark, its still going to be the cheapest 130i manual with reasonable kms on it
