  1. I'd be keen on the tail lights. Would need to organise a pick up from someone.
  2. I thought he was being sarcastic, with the cheap reserve price, but it likely does need something major like that done. Owner has replaced engine previously (curious?) and manual swapped the car so obviously somewhat mechanically competent. Seems to deal in/work on cars by their past listings. The fact that they're letting it go cheap and that they're not prepared to fix it is pretty telling.
  3. I've had that kit in my cart for a year or so, it was out of stock for a while. They also recommend this install kit to go with it, is it needed as well? https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-control-arm-bolt-kit-31106763928kt
  4. It's been on trademe for a while, they've lowered the price a couple of grand.
  5. Bridgestone has RE003 buy get one half price atm
  6. I've just seen that 40% off sale on hyperdrive. Tempted to yolo the Laufenns and try them out. Seems way too cheap at $260 for two tyres 🤔
  7. Have RE003s as well. Was recommended Hankooks or Laufenns last time I asked about tyres, will be trying Laufenn LK03 when I replace my fronts
  8. Have they sent you the wrong headers? I swear all the pics I've seen on aliexpress have the o2 sensor in a different spot
  9. Forgot to comment on this but can I send you mine lol My cover has been sitting on the desk for months, went with the stock style in leather with the perforated hand grips.
  10. Pics, still interested...
  11. Idk but interested Edit: I ordered some from Schmiedmann in September last year and they still haven't shipped them 🙄
  12. If it's too good/cheap to be true, it probably is.
  13. Yep I've got mine as 128i too
  14. Realoem to get the specific part number of what you're after. Put part number into fcp euro. Order part 💵
  15. I'd be interested in that list! Changing the cooling system along with the front pulleys and belt, I'd have done nearly everything on the motor 😅
  16. Good early spotting. Makes me wary of my cooling system. Whole lot is still the original.
  17. I think $5000 was thrown around last time I asked about it, I presume that's mostly parts costs. Edit: if that was any other colour I'd be making offers to do the exact same thing lol
  18. Msport kit and aero wing certainly do a lot of heavy lifting, it's aged nicely too. I remember seeing the 1 series in Motor magazine at launch, thought it was fugly.
  19. Haven't been following the market much lately, any of the higher price manuals sold?
  20. Pretty damn cool. How much were they asking for them?
  21. Are they the same gearbox as a 130i? That's nearly double the power /torque you'd be putting through it.
  22. I do too, but if it's got no service history at 180k I'd be assuming the worst and that it needs 2-3k in engine and suspension parts plus whatever high touch parts/headliner /tyres etc need doing. So if you can get into it for 7-8k and finish up 10k - 12k in with a massive refresh, you're winning.
  23. That's cheap if you can get it for 7 or 8k and refresh everything, you'll have a tidy car for 10k. Larger injectors? and clutch done indicates it's had some maintenance done.
  24. Will definitely ride better and be more grippy. Could get new wheels, with a square set up, to reduce under steer if you're on the stock staggered wheels. Selling the old tyres and wheels could help subsidise that. Changing to normal tyres won't fix any body roll issues you're having, thicker sway bars will do that.
