Steering wheel insert sold. What's in OP is still available

130i Parts for sale, lowered prices and updated what's remaining. Hard to find stuff like brand new OEM steering wheel insert and OEM Roof racks. Feel free to make an offer if you want a couple things.

Bump! Lowered prices

Sick interior. Looked at a 335i coupe with same colour combo. Looks really slick.

Is it in a specific gear, or just at low rpms? Any issues changing gears? Bad Vanos Solenoids are a common 130i problem, and can give what feels like shudder at 1500ish rpms but fine at higher rpms. They're worth checking out as easy to break clean or swap and see if it improves or changes the symptoms. Can sometimes not throw a code either.

Have listed up these parts on trademe. With some separated out and lowered prices! https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/search?member_listing=187919

Updated sold parts in the OP, what's left is all remaining and will go up on trademe tomorrow.

Thanks man! I believe my S60 has an Aisin 6 speed box in it. Been looking up fluids for doing the auto box and haldex awd.

Cheers man, it's pretty tidy! They do make some sweet estates. Thanks. That 4.4L V8 was a Yamaha one right. Many years ago I rode in an S80 with that V8 and it was crazy fast.

Some interior pics! It's a nice place to be for sure. Lots of buttons! Someone borrowed it yesterday and left the dirty floor mat 😒 R-Design interior trim, wheel, seats and other bits like special stitching. Has the latest version of Sensus, Volvos own OS entertainment system. Volvo now uses Android on the newer cars. Car was manufactured in 2014 and is the facelift model, but has the mini 2015.5 "face-lift" interior kit and trim.

Updated the roof rack info, found a receipt for them being wrapped black. They otherwise appear to be the silver OEM BMW Roof racks.

Yes it's verging on proper quick, apparently Volvo is a bit understated with the torque on these, and it just picks ups and goes with no loss of traction. Interior is definitely top tier, just a beautiful place to sit. The driver dash is all digital, it's quite nicely done with the tacho in the middle. That S60R is epic! I've been doing a bit of reading up on the performance Volvos. They've got a bit of history with spicy cars.

If anyone is curious what I'm driving round in now, did a bit of a write up. It's not a BMW 😅

So I've got a new car, and surprisingly it's not a 130i, or even a BMW 😅 It's a Volvo. Yes, not what you'd expect but I have some history with this car. It was my Dads, and it's extremely well maintained and in amazing condition. Completely stock, super dark tints and all. Bit of a luxury sleeper, this is one of ten NZ New sold. About 15 total in the country. S60 R-Design T6, Polestar Enhanced. S60: Sedan, 3 series sized R-Design is a bit like an M-Sport, exterior and interior trim package with upgraded brakes and springs/shocks etc. T6, Straight six turbocharged and AWD. Top of the tree model. They did make an S60 Polestar Halo model, kind of like an M3. Polestar Enhanced, is a factory tune to 330hp and 480NM(355lb/ft). Probably most equivalent to a 335i but more luxury, has the most comfortable seats you'll ever sit in. This thing is rapid, torque galore and grippy with the AWD that can split power up to 50:50 depending on traction/right foot buried. The exhaust sound is expecially meaty, with a bit of turbo noise at higher rpms. Somewhat different to what my 130i was, which is immediately confident in corners etc whereas the Volvo requires more to be confident with the grip. Volvo is faster, that same torquey-ness style of power delivery, but more, everywhere. And it's really nice place to be in. So far have absolutely nothing to do to it, I had it detailed and ceramic coated so nice and shiny + protected. She's pretty thirsty when you're getting down the road but I knew that going in. I don't do a whole lot of kms these days so it's great for me. Car has done less than 100k kms, mint condition and I got made an offer I couldn't refuse so now I'm an old man Volvo driver. Photos below after/before ceramic coat and detail. Now blindingly white. I will get some interior pics, it's very Scandinavian. Lots of leather.

She was very pleased with it, flew up to collect. They were recommended the car by another bimmersport member too! I know it's gone to a good home.
