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

Hi Ashley, dyno is from development of the tune, they do not dyno each car. you can find out more info on how the tune is created and installed below, or call Basil at Autopassion and chat to him https://chiptuning.co.nz/about

Thanks, added a rear pic, anything else?

Hi Dan It is the ex-HellBM one, there is a thread under Projects, 3rd page in near the top I will PM you an attachment I have created with all details and maintenance I have done recently in readiness for an advt later this weekend after groom which I will put on Bimmersport before FB

Man, will have to rethink the starting price for my N54 powered 130i manual after seeing this

Finally finished all the top end gaskets today and a few other little jobs (ex-HellBM 130i with N54 power) Will be putting a For Sale advert up in about a week after getting it groomed.
