CharlesB (not sure of his username) is on here and has modified his 135i a LOT. He lives down here but am sure he could offer some good advice.

SOLD, coming back up North

Now on TradeMe at $10K no reserve https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/5012634028?bof=qOFC8BTd

Repco have 50% off Castrol Edge 5W-40 in new catalogue out now

I would consider delivering the car, but you are best to come check it out yourself first (or have a mate check it for you) Cheers, John

Car is a 130i hatch with an N54 engine. See first pic.

Full details on doc attached - too much to write here (now added - includes full specs, maintenance list done during ownership and a couple of options available to buyer). Basics are: 2006 BMW 130i 101,800km N54 powered 6 speed manual, lots of good stuff in the build. ** Note ** - has low boost code (see pic) BM World in ChCh recently diagnosed Intercooler leak and/or Wastegate/s as cause. I have replaced intercooler with a 335i one, code still appears so assume wastegate/s Would suit someone prepared to take on resolving the issue. Looking to put on TradeMe and Facepage next weekend for $10K no reserve if no Bimmersport interest Ex-HellBM conversion, you can see their build thread on the Bimmersport website under Projects.

Hi. Just got my intercooler leak tested after BM World suggested it may be the cause of my long term boost issue. It is an after market one, need to replace with a good working one (Ideally similar) before car goes on market. What is out there, I am based in Christchurch

Repco have 50% off some Castrol, Penrite and other oils right now

I have found these guys pretty good K&N drop in filter at reasonable prices https://nzairfilter.co.nz/

Ironman. Did you find a good workshop for your 130i in Chch? I have a low boost code in my N54 powered 130i which I need to sort before putting car on the market, so keen to find a good reliable shop myself

I do hope you gave him a ride in yours with the good tune Charles, as it is a weapon

This one looks half decent with plenty of maintenance done, anyone on here? https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/130i/listing/4547525875?bof=anNhZViZ

I've only just noticed Supercheap with my Radar detector on sale, unfortunately only until around 3am Wednesday I have used this for a few years on trips and rate it. https://www.supercheapauto.co.nz/p/uniden-radar-detector-with-gps-uniden-dfr7nz/599759.html?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAkKqsBhC3ARIsAEEjuJjeCbyyvbnXVL3LmcmIwZLgtBohj0Mn7hagnKSuC2JUADeHwfip8q0aAtODEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Elias. Out of curiosity how do you prime your engine oil? I have done several oil changes now and just fired her up 😲

Ask around your neighbours for any video footage

If all drivers drove safely for the conditions and anticipated traffic flow then most of this shite would go away.
