HJ130i

Hi all. Looking to get back into the 130i world. https://www.facebook.com/groups/947775921960959/permalink/9950220711716390/?sale_post_id=9950220711716390&referralSurface=messenger_lightspeed_banner&referralCode=messenger_banner Have seen this number, with 109,000kms. Have chatted to the owner and he's got a stack of paperwork which is good, but the issue is it has the handbrake light on 24/7, as well as the brake pad service light too. Also has a parking light symbol on as well. Being in Northland I can't view it (I'm Auckland based). What are all your thoughts on the matter? Worth the big drive?

https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/130i/listing/3931594393 Anyone know anything about this one? Parents are looking for a run around and I suggested a 130, and they seem pretty happy. I know a bit about them as a former owner so I'm not worried too much - but anything major to look for/know? Don't want to send them away in a 130i and for it to break down on them!

Yeah hearing my old car on your Instagram has me wanting the whole lot back!

Definitely has me guessing!

https://www.eastdetailing.com/ I’ve got a cover from these guys - looks and feels awesome (I got the faux alcantara). took the wheel off to instal, took me a good few hours of stitching, but it worth it.

Thinking the same thing. Guess I’ll take the door apart next weekend and whack a new regulator in.

Window regulator? Right hand rear side?

Had some people in the car today, lowered the passenger right hand rear window - crunch. Loud crunch, window won’t come back up at all. When you try to get it up, more crunching. ended up getting it up by hand (as I’m in the coromandel, and have a 3 hour drive back to aucks tomorrow), but the window is just held up with a ton of tape. Any ideas what it is? Motor issue, regulator?

Where did you get the pod cover and the dash trim cover? Going on my wish list!

Good advice. Where does one get ATE in NZ?

What are the odds - I just messaged you RE them. Talk about timing!

My price is labour included, hence why it seemed a deal to me. Just basic pads and brakes, no name stuff really.

Have been quoted $417 for front pads and disks, and rear pads. Sound like a good price? Seems like a damn good deal to me.
