    Due to a change in circumstances, loss of my mechanics help, lack of time and an unrequited love for my E81 130i(like an abusive stepfather lol) I'm selling my E87 4 door 130i. It owes me $6k so that's what I will put it up for. 

    Showroom thread here

    It's a 2008 M-Sport w/ 214k kms on it. Specced with beige Leather Interior and Aluminium trim. Also has 18" M-Sport Alloys, seat warmers, electric seats, Idrive and auto climate control plus the previous owner put in a Parrot Bluetooth handsfree and 35% tints.  Interior and Exterior are in excellent condition for their age. There is the odd scratch or mark on the exterior but after the detail it does present very well. 

    Originally purchased as a parts car for my E81 130i it won me over by being too good to part out.  It was a real estate agents car that did plenty of long distance kms in the Wairarapa, and was a company car for 80k kms before that.

    - New Cabin Air Filter

    Issues:

    I had the car pre-purchase inspected before I bought it and it showed the rear driveshaft guibo/coupling has a crack in it. I have the front and rear(accidentally ordered the front one lol) couplings and all the bolts etc needed to replace. Can sell to buyer at a discount, I can otherwise return them to fcpeuro. 

    Just come up with a right front foglight error code, foglight works though :shrugs:

     

    Car drives and runs fine, has newish tyres front and rear and is a real pleasure to drive. I intended to keep this but I keep falling in love with my 2 door 130i. 

     

    Pm me or reply here, will entertain offers but feel its pretty fairly priced. Great runabout and fun drive. You can see the 2 door E81 while you're viewing too ;D

  2. Been receiving parts for this over the last couple of weeks, some fitting and some not. 

    Today put new vanos Solenoids in, has made a big improvement to the car.

    My identical e81 had them done recently which made a noticeable difference. Driving them back to back the e81 feels peppier so I thought I'd order some to swap in and see if it would make a difference. Plus the extensive service history didn't have Solenoids being done so a good box to tick. Old ones had been in there a while, o rings didn't look too flash. 

    Driving the car now, pick up is way better and feels more alive. Very happy with a little over an hours work.

  3. Yeah they've got a thicker edge on the top part of the grill. Similar ones are on trademe that say 04-07 E87 so pre LCI. 

    I've also seen similar ones that claim fit E90 so I'm it really sure what they could go on. The grill "size" is essentially the same on my two cars just the thick piece at the top is present on this set and not on my stock or aftermarket grills currently fitted.


  4. Bought for my 130i but the grill is a different shape than I was expecting. It might be the pre LCI shape for E87? 

    Quality is actually pretty decent. I got some money back for them sending the wrong part so don't owe me much.

    If you have a code reader and can scan my E87 130i you can have them :)

    Or a box of beer.

  5. 130i has the dual exhaust but you're right it's a rare car. If you had the first 7 digits of that models vin code(should be WBAUB for the first 5 digits followed by two numbers for the model code) you could use the nzta database to see how many are in the country. 

     

    It looks like an Msport with the wheels and bumper. 


  6. Got the car back from the detailer today and sure looks pretty. Managed to fit me in around some very nice rides including a black on black 2017 M3 ?. Shoutout to Elite Detailing, highly recommended.

    I've barely had it in my possession since purchase but I have been buying various bits for the car so have one driveshaft coupling already with some new vanos solenoids on the way and a couple of cosmetic pieces. 

    Before I got it detailed I had the steering wheel and drivers seat leather repaired by a fellow bimmersport member who did a wicked job. 

    After the Stage 3 detail car looks a million times better. It's shown up a few minor things like stone chips on the bonnet etc but now the metallic in the paint can actually be seen and it looked great even under the detailer spot lights and critical eye. Said it came up much better than the 120d he had in the shop for a stage 4 correction which was there when I dropped it off. Looks like a different car compared to the nearly matte paint look it was sporting when I bought it.

    I've been cleaning the interior this evening and over the weekend will finish the passenger side carpet/mats and clean/treat the leather.

  7. Have listed on trademe for $11.5k ono:

    https://www.trademe.co.nz/1968668683

    It's a 2008 130i Msport with 49k kms

    Will do lower price for bimmersporters, please note that it doesn't have a Supersprint exhaust on it anymore but a stock 130i one that sounds pretty good still. 

     

    Highlights:

    - 3 door E81, pretty rare

    - Low kms

    - Transferable Mechanical/electrical Breakdown insurance with 18 months left 

    - Recent Cut and Polish with Ceramic coating 

    - new Vanos Solenoids/Trans Service/oil filter gasket and service

    - newer model 1 series 17s with good non rft tyres fitted

    - Interior is absolutely mint

    - Upgraded rear suspension, Bilstein shocks 

    - Rear Msport bumper insert has been painted body colour, looks much better than standard 

     

    Lowlights:

    - Needs repair + respray on front bumper and aerial mount. Dent on tailgate(pullable) 

    - scratches on fender/bonnet 

    - bulb error but lights work fine 

    - Parking sensors and rear wiper motor are dead(seems to be common issue on these) 

    Probably 1k-1.5k to fix bodywork and replace sensors/motor
