Cheapest calipers I could find for a brake upgrade were $900, before pads/rotors etc. Given they've replaced the grill, mirror caps, wheels, aerial, rear spoiler and done a BBK the dealer car has likely been maintained more than the average daily. 2009+ is also a pretty rare 130i here. If it was a manual I'd happily buy it.

I'll pass on bmwparts, there's a couple of new euro plate combinations I'm interested in at $799

That v8csl would look good on my 130 🤣 How much do you want for BMWPTS?

Somewhat interested in buying a personalised plate with BMW or BM on it. Or some version of Beema etc. Bonus points if it's a euro plate, or got E87 or 130/130i on it. Pm me with what you've got, or reply here.

Dang, that is tempting just to take bits off it. Or manual swap...

I'm just doing some shopping around for insurance, mine renews next month. Do our cars have a factory immobilizer? I found an Australian car review that says they do, but if an insurance company requires proof of one that is not exactly rock solid. Is there a specific code in the BMW options in the vin that says anything? Or a better source.

Sounds like I need to be ordering some M3 LCAs. Probably due for a refresh anyway. Will add it to the parts pile in the garage 😅. They were TRW parts right, I remember someone posted the part numbers a while back. Is it just LCAs or is there more needed to do the swap?

Roll guards? @Jacko what do the M3 LCAs move to make more clearance? More camber? My front right tyre rubs very occasionally on big bumps.

Is that the BMWP bumper with a lip on it?

Very nice. Wheels are mint.

100% sex on wheels. Pretty fair asking price considering the work put in.

Those Laufenns are super cheap, might try some if I can't get RE003/Hankooks on a deal.

Congrats! Pics of E30?

What are the Hankooks to keep an eye out for? My front tyres will need replacing in near future, currently rocking RE003 all round.

Top it up and monitor it. Could just have been a bit low.

Put mine in. Could put the previous two in but I'll leave that to the owners.

N54 swapped E87 build, looks pretty legit. They're asking $25k https://www.facebook.com/groups/bmwnz/permalink/4443014615768320/?sale_post_id=4443014615768320

Is it yours lol

The $450 ones on trademe? They look good. Think the offset is in the ballpark, I had a quick look at the specs online yesterday.

They've changed it to $16k now, wild pricing

My fcp order had a 3 week stopover in Aus, hopefully they've got that sorted out.

This looks like an awesome option. I'm going to message them and see if they have any without the stripe. Thanks!

Nice @Navin, does the Alcantara insert have a spot for the M badge or have you glued it on? Do you have a link for the wheel cover? How much thicker is it over stock? Yours looks a bit thinner than others I've looked at, which make the wheel look quite chunky.

Yeah, I thought it would wear better, plus match the other bmw alcantara pieces I've got. But now I've ordered a bunch of interior pieces the only thing that will be looking worn is the steering wheel. Which I now want to either repair(I need to investigate this) or replace. A replacement is likely to come with an insert, so I'll look around and see what's out there. I've got 40 days to add the insert to my Schmiedmann order anyway 😅
