Haha figured out the stitching, actually surprisingly easy to fix your self unlike the E36 ones

Wanting to get a set of these to replace my bad ones.... All 4 really. Alternatively, any ideas on if they can be glued back easily? I had the same issues with both my e36s!! Based in Auckland

SORRY guys, brakes are sold as of tonight.

Are the hubs not a direct swap into a E90? Weird

Could also sell the car to go with it! Trying to trim down belongings, don't have time to play with everything!

Been hoarding these, wanted to put them on my 130 but always have too much other stuff to do! I'm sick of dragging them from house to house. 6 pot fronts and 2 pot rears from a 135i. Need the pistons rebuilt ( apparently the stock factory ones are useless). Comes with new matching discs, lines and near new pads. Fits under 18 inch rims. 500 bucks take the lot, must pick up from greenlane.

Are they very different to a e90 in terms of design architecture and reliability?

inside job?? Its a shame, I went to school next door. They always use to have a few interesting things....

Cleaning the garage out and found these! Covers for the front foot well speakers and a battery tray. I think the speaker covers are off my old M3 and the battery cover from an old sedan. Its a small miracle that the covers are fully intact and none of the clips are broken. Free for collection from Greenlane, especially if you bring the car it's going in!

Accord euro wagon, the older ones are better if you were thinking of putting an exhaust on (newer ones the manifold is intergrated). Cant beat a K24 for reliability either... https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/honda/accord/listing/3771558344 There are some white ones too with a bit more ks

Sharp spotting Kelvin!

Michael grant motors! I remember their yard from when I was at high school.... I can't imagine they are still in business

Ah yes, pretty sure you took it off for a while then put it back on recently Vince? What Ru looking at next

I'll tell my parents to look out for it in palmy! 🤣 Maybe the new owner will turn up here

Me too. Do like the flowerpots too but really wanted 8.5s... I was too slow Vince that sold quickly!

No haven't done the camber pin mod, doesn't look too hard though will knock them out next weekend. Will report back once I try your alignment out!

Haha you are right about the power, not that easy to break traction even with the open diff. But man does it like to hop in a corner if it hits a few bumps.

Not as much front camber as I remembered...

The wincing is real! Totally.

Good point. The tyres are new Bridgestone s007s from march. Had an alignment done with about -1 camber at the front, otherwise stock settings. Slightly better after all that. Need to buy the bilstein kit like you have in yours!

I recently bought a low k e91 325i, it's a non Motorsport. I ve now driven about 5000ks in it and it is very interesting compared to my e87 130i Motorsport. To me, it seems like the non Motorsport steering is more accurate ( is that because it's not variable ratio?). The suspension works well with the run flats (16 inch) and it's supple and reasonably firm around the corners. In contrast the 130i is brittle and imho isn't as nicely set up. Both cars are stock, the 130i has newish factory replacement shocks (Sachs) and m3 LCAs. I wonder if anyone has felt the same? Or am I up a tree?

I remember passing up a mint one of these when I finished uni for 8 grand! Not sure if these had any chassis upgrades or are just 318s with a bodykit and wheels https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/318is/listing/3234749686

Gaaaahhhh... Nice one 👍

Still has the mx5, nothing drives better. Have now acquired a version 1 sti and a 130i manual, plus two banger dailys. Yeah I have a problem..
