Was with him a couple times with multiple frms, from what I learned later after it was sold.

Awesome upgrade man, I've wanted the temp gauge on mine for a while now but always thought it would be tricky to swap. And promo can make it work... guess I need to look out for a cluster! Will any cluster work?

What could have been 😢, multiple frms later and still not working properly. Seems like more money/time has been poured into it without success.

Definitely buy it, so I can put my insurance valuation up 😂

Real Enkei's as well? Not bad for $8.5k

Yeah I noticed it was well worn on the wheel and gear shifter, worse than mine that has done more kms.

Sex. What's up with the 120i exhaust tip on it?

I used to have 3 of them, they're probably big fans too from the listings.

I would be seriously considering buying this if it was manual. Nice car

To follow up on this, the same people have listed another silver manual 130i with lower kms on trademe. They should be in the thread with that much 130i love https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/search?member_listing=1952262

Nice find

Think it was listed at 9k initially. Looks like it's price has been dropped to try and sell. Nothing nefarious there but given the kms and age it's got a few potentials for a big repair bill: Clutch, PCV, Vanos Solenoids, Coils, suspension and bushings, engine/gearbox mounts, Various Gaskets for oil leaks etc.

Yeah, the BMW Performance shifter looks really nice, especially with aluminium trim kit. But it's quite small in hand compared to the standard shifter. Feels like a child's toy. I've gotten used to it but would definitely take a stock one over it in terms of shift feel. One of these days I'll order the zhp but I'm barely driving my car atm.

I've had one of those sitting here ready to install for a couple months now, not a speed and cool one but a Turner Motorsports. Any differences with it installed? How easy was it to put in?

It seems like you know most of the the faulty parts, get a bmw dealer quote on them would give you a worst case scenario. Personally unless the car was super cheap I would find another as you've got a couple of rabbit holes there, without getting into stuff like waterpump, coils and other maintenance bits that likely needs doing considering the current state of the car.

I've dealt with that guy before, that's who I got my roof strip from(same car I'm pretty sure). Was a good price.

Interested in the M3 lcas, tension arms and adjustment rod. Pretty reasonable price considering the work done, condition and kms. Le Mans Blue is the best colour imo

Low mileage, not a lot of manuals around below 100k kms.

NZ new manual is rare af

Pretty common to see high mileage cars on the 130i Owners page, if it's looked after could be a good pick up.

Is that a wrap? Unusual colour. Also that price 😳

Was having a browse on Japanese auction listings and noticed only a couple of manuals, going for around $12k NZ ( 120k+ kms and shipped here). Autos are still priced where I remember ($6-8k and plentiful) from when I last looked a couple years back. Will keep an eye on it and see if they're becoming more scarce, thus pricier to import.

OE Aero spoilers aren't available anymore from bmw and are pretty sought after. Never heard about them having issues with fitment, all the ones I've seen fitted look good 🤔
