  1. Ohlins Road and Track kit for an F20. Ohlins make this for a JDM BMW specialist company called 3D Design. It is top quality suspension, on par with the best from Bilstien etc. It is in excellent condition, no leaks and everything moves smootly. I bought it for my 130i but realised it was for an F20 not an E87. Those that drove my old E46, which had 3D Design suspension, will know how good it is. $600. Plus courier.
  2. The 130i failed its warrant due to a blown shock and the pads were contaminated from the oil from the shock. I decided to go all in and give it a glow up. BTW 3d design suspension is made by Ohlins. For those that remember my old 330ci, it had 3d design suspension, and was pretty sharp handling wise.
  3. Yes check the LVDS cable, wrong way round was an issues for me also.
  4. Try these settings. Resolution 640 x 240. Harman head unit. IDrive_B(CCC).
  5. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/640i/listing/4922975133 The N55 is my choice of engines as well.
  6. The Linux OS, is far quicker to start up compared to android. There is no noticeable lag, and it offers wireless Carplay and android Auto. It doesn't have as many features as an android head unit but it does do carplay and android auto very well.
  7. Sorry, what I meant to say was the microphone was a bit muffled. After the firmware update it was a lot clearer.
  8. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004898088485.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.3a961802iMYPj5 It seems to work quite well, I had to do a firmware update to make the speaker work, it now works but can be a little bit unclear.
  9. I am keen on some shocks and springs in Auckland but the seller isn't sure about using a courier. Is anyone coming to Wellington in the next few weeks?
  10. I am keen to rebuild my 135i 6 pot Brembo's and I need a replacement piston kit as the original ceramic topped pistons are in poor shape. Just seeing whats out there before I buy a kit online.
  11. Fair enough, if 4 is good 6 is better.
  12. I really like the design of the B58 but did you know the little B48 has some real tuning potential.
  13. 5k would do it. What I paid, plus new rear tyres and a trans service at Hutt Automatics.
