  1. Definitely Zen 3. As for gpu, bench for waitmarks re Big Navi ? AMD hopefully will roll out their plan for ray tracing and a competitor to DLSS. Otherwise its whatever card suits your resolution and wallet.
  2. 208m? Sets pop up occasionally in Wellington, fb marketplace is where I've seen them.
  3. Got more pics of the black rear valance? Trying to decide what colour to paint mine, if at all.
  4. Pretty unlikely to get what you're after for less than 10k, unless you go for an automatic. Even then you'll still want a grand or two to fix any issues or at the very minimum to buy a scan tool to go with the car. Which will save you time/money fixing issues.
  5. Definitely different, more shine to it than the matte style finish that's usually on there.
  6. +1 Didn't realise the diffuser popped out like that, makes it way easier to paint.
  7. Wow, that sounds painful af. Not doing that to mine now ?
  8. Got a link for the steering wheel? Looks good.
  9. Only 130i I've ever seen in NZ with cruise control is my 2 door.
  10. Got a link for the wraps, it looks good! Seems a lot slimmer than other wraps I've seen.
  11. 130i people probably know this but once the cars warm hold it at 3k rpm for 3 mins to get oil circulation up into the lifters. Resolves lifter tick from too many short runs, or car sitting around. If it's still going then you've got a more serious problem.
  12. Aero spoiler and bmwp pedal covers. Looks tidy.
  13. Sorry meant the whole lot, kit and dmf and bolts. That's everything right? Where did you buy from? I'd like to save the info so I know when mine needs doing.
  14. Is that a complete OEM replacement for the clutch then? Got links?
  15. Good, keep the prices going up ?
  16. Is that a stock brake disc upgrade? Got a link?
  17. Both of mine used to take a few mins to get to 85-90 and then sat there no matter how I drove them.
  18. I know we're clogging up the thread but does everyone run 98? Or noticed any efficiency/differences on 95. I've always used 98.
  19. I'm averaging 9.9l/100kms pre lci manual on 98, mix of town and open road. Absolutely not driving for economy either. I do see 8.5l on the motorway cruising.
  20. Woops that should have been AA. I rang them and they were quite happy to adjust to 12k with my explanation.
  21. Mines 12, insurance values for them at AA top out at 11. Had to special request, at least they cover mods.
  22. How well do LCI lights go on pre LCI cars? Is it plug and play or more involved?
  23. As someone who's been watching 130i prices closely for the last two years they're definitely on the way up again, looking at trademe prices today reminds me of when I first started looking at them. Most average stock ones around 9k-10k. The odd outliers but generally consistent. Last year they definitely fell down a grand or two, so a bit cheaper, and then covid came with a flurry of cars and that extra supply and price competition kept the prices down. I'd say most of the cheaper ones have now been sold. Doubt you'd get a manual 130i that's been well looked after or with mods for less than 10k now.
  24. Took some photos from the strip I pulled off @M3AN . It doesn't have a gasket but two different sized bits of rubber each side. Can see the totally broken clip and one with two tabs remaining. Covered in pollen but hey.
  25. It sits in there with multiple clips, I thought it would slide out but you need to lift it straight up. I started from the boot end and lifted it out clip by clip. Every clip has three tabs on it and guarantee you will break a tab on each plastic clip pulling it up. I broke a tab on every one of mine, and the replacement strip already had tabs broken (from removal presumably) but still had more than enough to lock it back down solidly. I believe you can buy replacement clips or at least they have their own part number on realoem.
