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.

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.

Yes check the LVDS cable, wrong way round was an issues for me also.

Try these settings. Resolution 640 x 240. Harman head unit. IDrive_B(CCC).

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.

Sorry, what I meant to say was the microphone was a bit muffled. After the firmware update it was a lot clearer.

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?

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.

Fair enough, if 4 is good 6 is better.

I really like the design of the B58 but did you know the little B48 has some real tuning potential.

Unfortunately not.

Not in a big hurry.

5k would do it. What I paid, plus new rear tyres and a trans service at Hutt Automatics.

I did a bit of work on the X3, I cleaned the MAF, checked the disa which was sticking, I freed it up and then took the car for a decent drive. The improvement was nearly 1.5l per 100kms around town. Part of the issue was that the trans needed a service and was slow to shift up, and that combined with my daughter erratic driving style contributed to the average economy. I also performed and oil change but I cant see how that would have influenced economy. I also had a faulty coil so I replaced it a good second hand one I had. The car was certainly a bit smoother. Its got to go, My wife has her eye on a e92 Wagon.

E83 X3 2.5, M sport. Just had a WOF, no codes, M54, had a recent oil change and trans service. New rear tyres. Leather interior, runs well.

Apologies to admins, I have put this in the wrong section.

One of my KW front struts has blown. I am pretty sure I wont get a warranty on it as I am not the original owner and have no receipt for it. So I need to replace my front suspension with with a good second hand KW V1 strut or more likely a pair, or another type of coilover. I am certified for coilovers so would probably prefer to keep it that way, but would look at set of Bilstein's or konis etc. I realise I could go new, but I will fish around first and see what I catch. What's out there?

It does have a square setup, 245/45/19. I will have a look at the Disa, I rebuilt the one in my beloved old E46. I had a look underneath today and I looks like I have the old oil filter housing leak. I did the Vanos seals on the E46, not sure I am that keen to do those again.

My 3.5l Toyota Highlander got better economy that this X3, and she was a big old thing.

I bought a 2.5l M54 X3 for my daughters. Yes I have twins. They just got their learners and they have already done about 500km in the X3. I didn't pay too much for it and it had a fresh warrant and its got a nice spec, no sunroof, m-sport and most importantly heated seats.. I had the trans serviced, as it was holding gears and was slow to change up. The service helped, and it changes up earlier. What I have found is that it gets really poor fuel economy. Around 13.5 to 14l/100kms. This is not what I expected. I was thinking of getting the injectors cleaned, replacing the o2 sensors, cleaning the MAF sensor and throttle body, new plugs, new fuel and air filter , as well as an oil change. I have driven it by myself, just a normal combo of motorway and urban running. The economy doesn't change much between myself and the girls. Am I chasing my tail here, are they really that thirsty?

Who is the dealer?

Funny, at one of the reveal videos, I turned it off when it said, 2.4 tons.

Finally working, I will post some pictures soon.
