    Not until given it a wash, its absolutely filthy.

    Its my daily but I'm already working on a massive list of stuff to do...

    To do...

    Radio update (JDM YO!)

    Adjust rear passenger door alignment

    Paint in a couple of stone chips

    Wash, cut & polish wax or ceramic coat.

    Headlight restoration

    steering wheel trim replacement

    Replace a couple of interior plastic panels that are scratched

    Change the fluids other than the engine oil (done on purchase) ...so diff, coolant & check brake fluid for contamination

    Check brake pads so I know what they've got left in em.

    I wouldnt convert a 330i, I'd just pep the gearbox up a bit. 

    The frustrating thing is there are a couple of blue 130i manuals that came up and didnt sell about 6 weeks ago (owners said moving overseas) and I have no way to contact them. It was perfect spec. 9k, blue, msport, 90k km, manual :( 

    What is the fb group name?

     

    I'm basically after something between mature and fun from time to time, I have a low km clean Evo 9 for weekend drives so this would be mostly commuting and running around.

    Hi chaps, I'm currently after a daily runaround and I've kind of set my mind on a 330i auto having not been able to find a 130i manual that isn't rough as. It sucks because I've seen a couple of 130i manuals in blue come up on trademe and not sell before I was looking but they've not been relisted and I cant reach out to the owner :( 

    ..anyway back to the 330i

    I've done a search on here and picked up bushings and diff seals are worth looking/listening for.

    There seems to be alot on the market that are around 9-11k for a reasonable spec (HID/MSport everything, heated seats, cruise).

    This one is top of my list at the moment and I'm off to see it at the weekend...

    I read you can give the transmission a tune to make it more drivable and less lazy, and I'll get under it to look for leaks from the diff/engine/gearbox...other than making sure everything works and nothing is clunking/rattling etc what else do I need to look for?

    The above has service history from Japan.

    Thanks in advance for any pointers.
