Yep, there were only 4 or 5 the other day when I was contemplating listing. Good timing on free listings.

Hey guys, my 130i is now listed on trademe, lots of photos etc https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/5220230667

This is now on Trademe: https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/5220230667

Unfortunately my ride is now up for sale, listing here on bimmersport. Looking for 12k

They were in the car when purchased, absolutely no idea what they are but best guess some sort of phone or device holder. Didn't want to remove them when I first got the car as they look to be glued to the trim. And they didn't interfere with driving. I had totally forgot they were in there, guess they just became part of the car over time lol

My baby is now for sale, I've listed it up on bimmersport here. Looking for 12,000. All details in the listing!

Parts replaced by mechanic or myself in the last 10k kms, 177k-185k kms, all with OE or OEM parts. And roughly in order of replacement.

For Sale - 2006 BMW E87 130i M-sport, 3.0L six speed manual with RWD. 185k kms. White(AlpinWeiss 3)with Black(Boston) Leather interior. Pre-LCI. Japanese import with climate air, electric heated seats, HiFi Professional, Xenons, Idrive (upgraded modern screen with Carplay and Android Auto), window rain guards and fully featured M-sport with trims/bumpers/sill plates/wheel. Rear wiper delete. Regularly serviced and maintained. Major items like coils, starter, waterpump, mickey mouse flange, vvt solenoids, vvt motor and DISAs all done. There have been many engine parts and other items replaced with OE parts in the last 10,000 kms, mostly preventatively, for future enjoyment of the car. Full list of items and receipts available. After getting the car mechanically correct, I had begun doing cosmetic work this year, to get the car perfect. It's in good condition for its age. With a 195kw N52 3.0L straight six engine, manual RWD and 50/50 weight distribution means this a a very well handling and driving vehicle that puts a smile on your face every time you take it out on the road. While also being comfortable cruising along at the speed limit. This is an unexpected and reluctant sale, of a car I intended to keep for a long time. Enthusiast owned, it has been tastefully modified with parts of the highest quality to improve the ride, feel and driver experience. Just replacing the wheels/suspension and exhaust alone would cost at least 10k, before shipping, from Japan/Europe, and that's without the additional cost of certification, or taking into account the rare original BMW Performance parts on the interior and exterior. Modifications : K&N air filter and Turner Motorsports intake for better breathing. Work Emotion D9R staggered 18" Wheels in 5*120 stud pattern, with offset specifically ordered for this car special order from Japan. Recently refurbished. Supposedly the only set in 5*120 in NZ. Work no longer makes these wheels in 5*120 stud pattern. RE003 Tyres all round in good condition Supersprint Exhaust backbox, no longer being manufactured BMWP AERO Spoiler, No longer available from BMW Ohlins Road & Track Coilover Suspension System for BMW 1 series - front and rear Certified for Wheels/Suspension Alcantara mirror/instrument binnacle BMW Performance interior parts, handbrake cover/handle, shifter gaiter, pedals and BMW ZHP weighted shift knob. Most BMWP parts are no longer available from BMW Transmission Shifter Bushing upgrade to improve shift quality Android/Carplay idrive screen replacement Cosmetically, on the exterior there's a small dent in the left rear crease line. Slight damage to front bumper plastic next to license plate. Some stone chips on the front and very shallow dent on the roof from prior owners roof racks. Otherwise it's looks pretty good and cleans up well. The interior, everything is in good condition with several touch parts newly replaced. Headliner is sagging and has been pinned up. Steering wheel insert has some wear. Mechanically, sump gasket has a slight weep. I have many brand new OE and OEM parts for the car, roughly $1.5k worth (not including shipping costs) including a full sump gasket replacement kit, engine mounts, steering wheel leather, steering wheel inserts from BMW and BMWP, oil filters, bulbs, BMW and Work wheel caps, plus several others including duplicate parts. Everything is new in box except for the original BMW wheel caps. I also have used original BMW Roof racks for the car. All parts can be sold with the car at extra cost. $12000 or $13000 with all of the parts

Hey thank you, it's had a lot of time and parts into it! Thanks, it's my pride and joy. Cheers for the sales info, agree on lots of those points! Chur, it is an awesome car!

Just to add more info on the car there is a "build" thread on bimmersport here. I'm super keen to hear values if anyone's been tracking sold prices. Prob should have written this before but the Work Emotion D9r Wheels are pretty distinctive, they are perhaps the only pair in BMW stud pattern 5*120 in NZ, and custom ordered for size/offset for this car. And you can't order them in 5*120 from Work anymore. They're staggered like oem and look epic.

Yeah it's pretty dire on trademe/marketplace for 130i pricing. I know it's not the best time to be selling a vehicle but may not be helped 🤷 Parting out could be an option. 12k was kind of like minimum needed, would love to hear I'd get that easy haha

No cruise control, but you can buy the stalk and retrofit with some coding. I've had 3 130i and only my E81 had the cruise control, it's a rare option.

So I might need to sell my car quite unexpectedly, would I get 12k for it? 130i seem very cheap on trademe, but none are "modified" nor seem to have been mechanically sorted. If you guys can give me some idea of what I could get for mine it would be greatly appreciated Basically everything that's a mechanical issue on the N52 has been sorted on it, mickey mouse flange being done this week. Big list of work done/parts replaced below. All done last 10k kms unless otherwise stated. Has all the oem interior parts that have been replaced with it in boxes. BMW Roof racks too. 4 door White Manual, 185k kms. Work Emotion D9Rs staggered 18" Wheels, RE003s all round Supersprint Exhaust backbox BMW AERO Spoiler Ohlins adjustable coil overs Cert for Wheels/Suspension Fauxcantara mirror BMW Performance interior parts, handbrake cover/handle, shifter gaiter and BMW ZHP weighted shift knob.

I also have some extra bits but can't recall atm. Bad things on the car are cosmetic aka stuff I was doing this year after mechanically sorting it. There's a dent in the rear left crease line. Slight damage to front bumper plastic beside front license plate. I would cut and polish car before sale and paints pretty good apart from a couple stone chips. The interior, everything is nice except for the head lining and the wheel. Headliner is sagging and has been pinned up, and wheel and insert are not great. I have two replacement inserts and leather for the wheel that requires stitching. And a $700 quote for headliner to be done properly.

There's a water proof membrane on the door that's a common-ish failure. Even if it's dry below, if you can't find anything elsewhere it would be worth looking at. Otherwise as above the drains below the windscreen can get blocked by leaves and allow water to enter through the air duct system

So I did order the Linux screen earlier this month, and got it working great, but not fully installed yet. How did you route the new wiring @Herbmiester suspect I'm going to have to remove the support structure holding the CCC unit to get behind and run the two cables to the screen. Mine also came with a tray for the screen to sit in, with separate metal bits and zero instructions on how they fit to the tray. I think it be worked out how they go but it's Does it have a screw at the back to hold the tray down, or is it purely leveraging off the two existing fixing points for the old screen?
