  1. He said in the comments that it's going to his mate
  2. If I ever crash my 130i, my dream is to buy 1 series coupe with seized engine and do an engine+manual swap.
  3. Can someone buy this and do a manual conversion? 🤣 https://m.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1617322072435841/ Auto 125i coupe with 90,000km selling for 9k.
  4. Keen to see how you find the SMF. I actually bought DMF and clutch but I'm on the fence about selling them and going SMF.
  5. Are you doing flywheel as well? SMF? Could you elaborate on the main seal? Is that related to clutch wear?
  6. Has anyone done e9x 335i brake caliper swap? I got the fronts to install but I don't know if rear is worth doing as well.
  7. They'd be lucky to get half of what they're asking..
  8. Please pm me if you have one for sale I'm open to other exhaust options for 130i
  9. I've seen one that had a full engine rebuild selling for less than 10k. I was seriously considering buying N18 R56 but it sounded like all the costly failures are a matter of when, not if.
  10. I don't own one but I've been following an i3 owner on Instagram, and he's car had a failed motor control unit or something. The repair bill was more than what the car's worth so he decided to scrap the car. It happened at 80,000km or so. I've also heard some horror stories about how the AC unit can fail and inject debris into the entire refrigerant line, which will eventually need to be fully stripped and replaced. They are pretty cool cars but I wouldn't own one without any mechanical warranty.. just my 2c.

    Quick rant thread.

    That's exactly what I've been through a few weeks ago. Had to pay about 400 for gst, duty and processing fee on a package that costed 1400. Caught me off guard. I would've seriously considered SMF conversion if I knew this earlier...
  12. BMW Performance gear knob for 6 speed manual transmission. OEM replacement manufactured by SKV Poland/Germany. Was test fitted to verify fit. I've checked that it's the same weight as the genuine one. BMW part number ref 25110429269 $85 ONO
  13. Have you tried pick-a-part? Several 1 series BMWs are there. No 130is though. This company is parting 130i: 2011 BMW 130i PARTS ONLY https://www.trademe.co.nz/4757461906
  14. Is that a factory spoiler? Looks good
  15. Is that the black one with front lip, rear spoiler, air intake and quad exhaust and tinted rear lights? 🤣
