Current tyre setup is 225 front and 245 rear. (fronts have average/good amount of tread on them, rears are pretty mint as they were put on in September last year and I haven't put that many kms on them since) Im not to sure about the condition of the suspension overall, I haven't really looked into it over the couple of years I've owned mine (although hasn't been brought up as an issue in wofs or services), but I have done the front lower control arm bushings and noticed a tiny bit of an improvement there in handling

Do you think a square setup of non run flat tyres would help understeer, say 225's all round instead of changing both wheels and tyres to a square setup? Was also thinking sway bars at some point as well 🤔

Hey all, Im thinking about switching from run flats to Michelin Pilot Sports (4 or 5), hoping to fix a bit of understeer, body roll and add more grip on the 130. Can anyone tell me what its like and if its better going from run flats to non (or run flats to pilot sports) what's it like? big difference or?....

Yeah i think i noticed that silver one with 87kms back when i was looking for what was to be mine last year haha Tbh, hadn't even crossed my mind doing a manual conversion. My car seems in decent shape and im happy with the kms on it. I've just messaged Hell BM and will see what they come back with. Thankfully I don't have to do hardly any daily/stuck in traffic driving so thats another draw to getting a manual as well Appreciate the advice guys!

Hey all, Currently have a '07 130i auto. Love the car and especially the n52, I've owned it for a year but lately been feeling that some extra 'feel' is missing when driving. So I've been looking into manual versions of the 130i and im thinking i might go test drive a few to see what they're like when lockdown is over. (would like to hear anyones opinion if they've driven both auto and manual) The thing is, i picked my auto up last year for $8k with 95,000 kms on it, now looking into manual versions, there are a few available at the moment with 73,000kms and 87,000 kms on them for around $17,000 (both from a importer/dealership) Is that just the standard price for manual 130's now? or is $17k wayyyyy too overpriced and im better waiting until some other manual 130s go up for sale? Just seems weird that mine is fundamentally the exact same car but i paid less than half of the price of current manuals with similar-ish kms on them?...
