Out of curiosity, what do you think the car needs (deep pockets wise)? Do you think starter or something more sinister like engine rebuild Thanks, John

This is the kit you want. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-control-arm-kit-5-piece-m-upgrade-bmwmcakit put them in your cart work out shipping at checkout.

For your car, you might be better spending the $s on an M3 LCA kit and wheel alignment

I always ask for a dyno graph that my tunes are based off The tune I got for my N54 130i is attached It feels every bit of that.

Yeah could probably move to an auto for a daily now, have other manual cars for the fun stuff.

Just quoting their website, best you call Basil to discuss (no affiliation other than happy customer)

I also have my eye on this as a replacement for my N54 130i. Probably won't be available once I am ready though. On your marks, get set......

I use Basil at Autopassion(Chip tuning website) for all my flashes. Their website quotes the E90 330i (same engine?) Old power 190kw/258hp and 300nm to a tuned output of 210kw/285hp and 336nm.

I'd want to add back the rear muffler, good opportunity to upgrade to the 135i (?) one Check for gaskets done, wonder what that power cord is heading to the boot?

Wonder if it is a Bimmersport car, and if any maintenance has been done yet.

Plus 1 for RE003 Had them on my previous standard 130i manual and current N54 130i. Excellent in wet and dry and provide plenty of grip when the power goes down 😁

if you are happy settling for an auto, then you betcha

Thanks, built by HellBM and I have completed a lot of usual maintenance items, just one job to do then may be on the market. HellBM created a build thread in Projects before I bought it

or have an N54 130i 😁

I dont have a coffee machine at home as I use heading to the cafe as an excuse to get away from the work environment or get out of the house on weekends. My brew of choice is a long black and am happy paying $4 - $4.50 currently but if I get a crap pour delivered it gets sent back as it is not hard to make it properly with the right training you'll get there Driftit, just takes practise ☕ ☕☕

easier to digest in that form

Didn't QUBE have one of these for sale recently, not sure it sold. Nice looking car similar to this with less km?

Hi Harry. Out of curiosity, what are typical symptoms of the HPFP failing?Cheers, John

Echo these comments, Basil applied his tune to my N54 powered 130i - night and day difference 😁

RockAuto have a good selection https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/bmw,2008,135i,3.0l+l6+turbocharged,1442304,engine,variable+valve+timing+(vvt)+solenoid+/+actuator,12910

My interpretation of Schedule A is only Motorsport NZ approved labels can be affixed, but read this - Section 4.1 point 3 https://manual.motorsport.org.nz/index.php/knowledgebase/36-2-01a-schedule-a-1/#a1-4

Cant recall now for my own jobs, the quote above I just took cheaper of options to give a ball park figure

Brandon are you hands on, have time/tools and want to learn? I had never changed one before buying my previous 130i, and have now done my second on my current N54. Youtube is your friend, allow about NZ$600 plus freight from FCP Euro for Pump, Thermostat and bolts. FCP also have a video archive for jobs like this.

Not sure if HellBM do them, worth giving Ray a call.

I use Classic Cover, pretty sure a few others here do, good rates, pretty sure they are lump sum annual payment, no instalments
