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

what was it up there for?

Up forsale is this un molested example of a 2006 130 factory Motorsport manual has 1486** km on it 4 near new tires new left rear wheel bearing new right rear window winder motor fresh oil change and filter Just had a fresh warrant and 6 months reg headlights have just been restored sasch performance suspension inside is very tidy, steering wheel has a little bit of wear on it exterior is in pretty good condition, little bit of clear peel on the bumper and some scratches in the right rear as shown in photos *** currently it is a couple of error codes throwing up for mixture control and valvetronic range error. From the quick investigation I have had it looks to be a temperamental eccentric shaft sensor. At this stage it is being sold as it is, however if I get the chance to sort these in and around uni in the short term the price will change accordingly*** $9000 ono located in Christchurch 0221952364

15% buyers premium ontop of the 200% car premium..... someone got a ripper deal i see haha

What was it listed for?

Yes still available

Definitely a little more than I wanted to get it for but still cheap enough

That will be me

Yup still have it $100

also go back and look at the pictures.. you'll see the centers have also been bored out...

Went and looked at it 3 days ago needs a front rail put Into it as it has started to corrugate itself up by the subframe so needs a complete rail put into it. really only a parts car as even though it’s registered, pitting a rail Into it is a huge job!

Crap, I’ll slap myself on the hand and put myself in time out ?

does anyone else just get a feeling of "used and abused" from this? half arsed photos, gumby boi shifter, comments from the previous owner... dunno why, just get that feeling about it ?

yeah, I wouldn't be so optimistic on this one to be totally honest. The system is there, but dealing with it everyday you soon realize how floored it is and some of the workmanship that gets through is frightening. The current system is not bad, HOWEVER there are still some quite frankly F****** horrible repairs going through certification. We have had cars come through with shocking welding and panel replacement which has been done be people with the "Icar" tickets.. it is pretty scary. Given that the repair took place 12 years ago when the processes were not in place like they are today and the whole certification process was still in the days of being a boys club, I would definitely be getting it looked at to ensure it has all been done properly. Lifting up the carpets to ensure things are on on the inside where the new rail has been put in and has been painted/cavity waxed as required

They are gold, 8x18 et35

Not sure what your budget is...... but have a set of genuine bbs lm 18 inch coming up forsale shortly!

My faith in Bmw techs is Indeed very quickly vanishing ?

So..... firstly, Lester now has his bmw back up and running after over a year and several thousand dollars of “hunting the issue” style of bmw repair strategy (coils,plugs,fuel pumps,o2 sensors.... the list goes on) . I seriously wonder how some “head technicians” get their jobs within Bmw. initial scan of the m3 came back with the following codes (in the picture). Did some googling, and found out that the cat code is Indeed the cause of the limp mode, but what was causing it? Cleared it all off, took the car for a drive and as expected, went onto limp mode along with the cat code and o2 codes coming back during this drive, love data on the scanner showed that the o2 sensor voltage values were NOT changing, which was totally odd as you can see, ALL 4 Sensors have the same heater error...... put everything nag together and was like, surely if all 4 sensors have the same error.... it must be a common something connected to all 4. First thing first, checked the o2 sensor fuse.... wouldn’t you know it.... it was blown ? as a result, the heaters were not working and the sensors were not reading as they should have been...... in turn triggering the cat protection codes because of the “lean readings” in relation to rpm some things are not hard to use half a brain and figure out.... and how Bmw have now been able to use 1/20th of a single brain cell to follow the dead obvious signs fails to amaze me I suspect that what has happened is one of the original O2 sensors has failed, shorted and taken the fuse with it creating the further errors when the new ones were installed but anyway, problem solved!

Have a good scanner located in Christchurch. more than happy to pop over and give it a scan to see if we can help in anyway flick me a text 0221952364 arron
