Congrats! Was this on TM? I don't remember seeing this one 🤔 What made you to pass on the black one?

He says he's got cheaper material for $240 if I drop in the headliner. I'll see how the materials compare and decide. I've actually had few quotes now all around 200-300ish mark for drop in service. Don't know what sort of fabric they are using though.

Did yours have sunroof?

After parking outside for a week, my 130i's headliner is now sagging. Any recommendations for upholsterers in Auckland?

Yeah ok. This is why I find it odd that my car's clutch is slipping at 130k..

How many ks has your car done?

I think BMW ownership experience varies a lot depending on what you own. In general, I reckon the maintenance cost is 1.5x~2x of Japanese cars though. Not sure if I'd buy another used BMW especially in this current economic climate..

I could've saved some money if my 130i was not my daily and I could afford to slowly work on it. To be fair, a good chunk of money was for clutch+flywheel, which I won't have to worry about for a while.

I only know how to do basic stuff like engine oil change so I actually have spent a good amount of money on getting my car fixed by others. I'd say just budget for extra 2-3k on top and try you buy something that some of the major work has been done recently. (Waterpump, gaskets, clutch, flywheel etc). Tbh, I did budget for extra 2k but so far I've spent 5k over the 12 months of ownership 🤣

He said in the comments that it's going to his mate

If I ever crash my 130i, my dream is to buy 1 series coupe with seized engine and do an engine+manual swap.
