Nah dont think i have one, Im guessing the start/stop is when the engine cuts off at the traffic lights? yeah nah never had it or even knowing our some of 130i's/n52 are capable of doing soo lol

*i included my reply below* gotcha, Varta seems to have a good shout however the Varta E44 that was recommended to me earlier by the shop wasnt an AGM battery reckon thats fine? or should I go with the top dollar Varta A7 that is rated AGM and at 70Ah lol Gotcha, i'll keep that in mind i do think my current battery is an offbrand one soo Varta it is

I went down to my local Auto electrical battery shop and they entered my license plate and their system recommended either an Endurant Din66 or a Varta E44 - reckon the Endurant Din 66 is fine enough? im most likely going to purchase this by myself to save bit more on labour and I can just use my bimmer app to register the battery which I think should be straight forward.

Hi Team, I could either have a starter motor issue or Battery or could be both (which im more leaning too), lately every time I start the car i hear the starter motor struggling and no ignition, i then keep pressing the ignition button till I hear the starter motor giving up but when I use a jump starter or a battery charger it always cranks bit more better and starts the car. Since replacing the battery is easier than the starter motor I will take this route first and if it doesnt work out atleast i have a fresh battery and move onto the starter motor. I think this is a good route to take or if you guys have any other advice please let me know or otherwise, Can anyone recommend me a battery for the car?

Just doing abit of Preventative Maintenance before summer Anyone here can recommend me a place where I can service my Transmission +Diff fluid (otherwise i can probably diy this) Based on google I heard the guys over at "The Gearbox factory" are the top dogs in AKL when it comes to Transmission servicing. Got quoted $710 for Transmission (full service) and extra $100+- for diff , all inc gst However keen to know if you guys have any suggestions My Car is BMW 130i Automatic '06

Do you guys know any car yards that may possibly have any bmw 135i brembo calipers? I've tried making an account through "pick a part" but their whole website is glitchy and Im not really sure if they do stock 1series cars

yep, pretty straight forward installation. remove the antenna stick and you just stick the fin cover on top of the module itself. However since removing the "fishing rod" it does affect reception by 10-40% . It doesn't bother me much as I normally use my Bluetooth.

Oil filter housing and oil cooler seals are easy DIY and can take 1-4hrs to do depending how experience you are and make sure you get the right tools cause unlike me that took a week due to stripped bolt lol. If you are talking about the Vanos solenoid o rings, you can either replace them or clean them (both vanos solenoid and seals/orings) using brake cleaner. Mine started showing error codes like 2a87 till I cleaned them, still works perfectly fine but when it fails again then i'll replace the whole bunch

I did bit of quick research and went with Goodridge myself Paid $262 nzd inc shipping last year https://www.demon-tweeks.com/nz/goodridge-stainless-steel-braided-brake-line-kit-gdrsbw1010-6c/

you can also try this, while keeping the original CCC iDrive

wow! at that price! and rarity. Surely this wont last long in marketplace

Looks like another one to add on my list when I get my bumper replaced and headlight projectors upgrade Good call Dave!

just rung my local bmw dealership (should've done this in the first place) they do stock our CHF 11s Fluid for around $48 1L BMW brand which I suppose is the same as pentosin.

yeah i thought of that too, 1L x2 at fcpeuro will cost $161 NZD for two small litres . Just cant justify spending that much specially the atrocious shipping fee that cost more than the bottle lol cause its liquids. But regardless i'd like to keep it as my last option Yep i got a new febi reservoir from last year, still in the box just needing new two metal prongs that can clip it tight as i believe the factory ones are one time use?

Anyone here know where to get the proper CHF 11S Steering fluid?
