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.
-
208m? Sets pop up occasionally in Wellington, fb marketplace is where I've seen them.
-
Got more pics of the black rear valance? Trying to decide what colour to paint mine, if at all.
-
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.
-
Definitely different, more shine to it than the matte style finish that's usually on there.
-
+1 Didn't realise the diffuser popped out like that, makes it way easier to paint.
-
Wow, that sounds painful af. Not doing that to mine now ?
-
Got a link for the steering wheel? Looks good.
-
Only 130i I've ever seen in NZ with cruise control is my 2 door.
-
Got a link for the wraps, it looks good! Seems a lot slimmer than other wraps I've seen.
-
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.
-
Aero spoiler and bmwp pedal covers. Looks tidy.
-
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.
-
Is that a complete OEM replacement for the clutch then? Got links?
-
Good, keep the prices going up ?
-
Is that a stock brake disc upgrade? Got a link?
-
Both of mine used to take a few mins to get to 85-90 and then sat there no matter how I drove them.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Woops that should have been AA. I rang them and they were quite happy to adjust to 12k with my explanation.
-
Mines 12, insurance values for them at AA top out at 11. Had to special request, at least they cover mods.
-
How well do LCI lights go on pre LCI cars? Is it plug and play or more involved?
-
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.

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.
-
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.
