oh bruhhh, didnt see that i probably read that as "and" instead of "or" lol i will re-correct my post, cheers for looking out ❤️

replacing the taillight is pretty easy! just dont drop the 3x hex nut! But i believe if your car is a pre-lci you might need to fiddle with some wirings to get your electronics to communicate with the taillight Follow this step

Saw this listing on trademe if anyone is keen on a pair LCI tail lights, $130 buy now for Both! https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/bmw/exterior/listing/3815458735?bof=xsSfZaTC ***** re-correction to only a SINGLE item not for both pair. My bad guys Much Love Chad

good to hear, i've upgraded my taillight to led reverse light. they're soo bright that you get blinded by it haha

Wonderful my bro! Hope to see your car someday(in akl) lol i also hope that the reverse light bulb is included cause im not soo sure if i left it there

Bought the car 165kms now sitting on 177kms All New tyres+wheels Accessory Belt tensioner and belt Rocker cover gasket + Sump Waterpump+thermostat Oil filter housing and coolant gaskets + Upgraded Micky mouse to Aluminium (from FCPeuro) Few extras Engine flush using Liqui moly's additive Then follow it up with new oil changes services replaced air filter with a K&N and cabin filter with a new bosch fiber anti bacterial My next project is - Handling M3 Control arms (5-piece) *just waiting for the price to go down abit on FCPeuro Bilstein shocks b4s on all corners + bumpstops Upgraded Brake line to steel And not to forget the Camber pin mod! before all of these Also contemplating to replace Hydraulic fluid reservoir seen some videos to DIY very straight forward. Reason to replace is to stop it from leaking/sweating due to old age or the irreplaceable built-in filter. But nothing major at this point.

Listing on TM on a 135i backbox. but its off from an n54 if anyone keen. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/performance/exhaust/listing/3725118945

Hey guys, Am just moving houses this weekend and I got some stuff to get rid off. Tried selling tyres online but not luck. Factory BMW Wheels 5x120 mint condition. 2 run flats and the other two are not run flats. Still have good amount of thread left but best to see it in person 130i Exhaust backbox with resonator need em gone asap, and for you guys its free. must pick up asap or this weekend Cheers Chad

here's where i normally get mine if you don't mind paying $10 for overnight shipping https://v1vehicleparts.co.nz/products/genuine-mann-bmw-engine-oil-filter-and-seal-kit-11427953129-11428683196-11427566327-11427541827-11427854049-11427854445-mann-filter-hu816x?_pos=8&_sid=5b418178c&_ss=r

Haha yep it is, but i live in otahuhu 😅

if you're after for top of the line "Ceramic" tint but dont want to pay 3M price as they start from $450+ I recommend "The Tint NZ" they do SunTek as oppose to the more expensive 3M Ceramic and price starts at $280 I think https://www.facebook.com/TheTintNZ/ My 130i has tints all around(except windshield ofcourse) they are at 25% tint darkness and 75% heat rejection soo its good for summer but I might go back and get my two front windows to 35% as 25% is abit too dark at night specially only when reverse parking.

oh yo! thanks man be happy for you to drop by and have a yarn. I do have a needle nose vice grip but i think wrench pliers should work best in its current situation. but unfortunately I do not have one. I can try buy one tomorrow if you do not have one. I havent drilled into the hole yet as i have limited space given the size of my tools and radiator fan being on the way. Anyways really appreciate you if you do drop by. I'll be at home all day tomorrow as it's my day off

mhmm might need to go out and get a cold chisel but tbh dont think that would work either as I think i tried something similar also purchased a milwaukee needle nose vice grip yesterday but cant even grip the bolt properly unless i really rounded it for more surface soo I sacrificed my e-10 socket and glued it in, tried it this morning and no luck as it came off lol. I'm happy to wait for ya this friday and see how it goes

Hope everyone here is well this winter, 🥶 Mickey mouse hose upgraded (done)✅ Oil filter housing and Oil cooler gasket replacement. (halfway done) 🤞 Soo I need some help, like physical help and was wondering if any of you guys are experienced removing a stripped bottom bolt of my oil filter housing as I may have stripped it due to being over torqued(I believed) for some reason. top came off easily just hammered a few times with the e10 socket. before I ended up rounding the rear bolt(still in good cond) i'll get you guys to try it, if it fail we may have to remove the intake manifold few inches down and should leave us more working space. I have tried different methods of getting it out like hammering e10 socket to get it back into shape and try again from there but it feels like i ended up rounding it more.. tried wd-40 overnight and next day, no luck. tried drilling a slot in the middle for a flathead screw driver but still cant crack it lose tried Irwin Bolt-Grip extractor similar to e-10 socket but more cylindrical jagged socket also doesnt work tried epoxy glue (as the guy from bunnings suggests) and sacrificed by e10 socket.. now I have to buy a whole set again as E-10 sockets cant be purchased on its own 😪 one of the last options is to buy an Screw Extractor set and drill into socket head and could be a higher chance of getting it out compared to others but havent tried it yet due to limited space like the radiator fan. or size of my drill gun🔫 .. Before I take it in to a mechanic/workshop and will charge me heaps. i'd rather ask here where I started and ask for advise and possibly if come around my place and will be more than happy to pay for your time/effort in hopes we get it out.🤞 I am located in Mt. Wellington near Sylvia park

cheers bro, just placed an order and now awaiting for payment and shipping fee 💪

Thanks man, did you order yours off of their main website? planning to just get mine from autostance but if their website works out cheaper then might consider

hey guys im back again haha. Im looking to get this spoiler extension Main Company: https://maxtondesign.com/product-eng-8519-SPOILER-EXTENSION-BMW-1-E81-E87-FACELIFT-AERO-SPOILER.html?country=1143020151 I can also order it from Autostance around i think for $370 for the carbon (2-3weeks to ship) https://autostance.co.nz/product/bodykits/bodykits/bodykits/bodykits/width/bodykits/diameter/bodykits/ratio/bodykits/offset/bodykits/studpattern/bodykits/direction/bodykits/color/bodykits/name/spoiler-extension-cap-bmw-1-e81-e87-facelift-aero-spoiler-2007-2011/bodykitsbodykitsbodykitsbodykitsbodykits/ My main question is, that it only fits LCI versions 2007+ but my car is pre-lci (12/2006) would you still reckon they would fit?

true! i'll get it sussed up once i get my car then from the workshop cheers bro @qube

There's abit to choose from, i dont mind waiting. If you can help me on my journey as im still new at this lol bmw bump stops front https://www.schmiedmann.com/en/bmw-e87lci/catn-ol?q=31336767333 do i choose the first option or the second one? or third? lol bmw performance bump stops rear x2 .. I will go with the BMWP for the rear as i heard that its a good balance of comfort and performance and i suppose once i have my shocks arrive and bumpstops do i just give them all to my mechanic and he'll know what to do with it?

Thank you for providing that interesting thread, i came across it before but wasnt as interested until my mechanic told me to replace my suspensions lol. I could be more likely to buy the B4 now, and seems like it's only available on demon tweeks, going to cost me $700 +/- inc shipping! Should I need to get the BMWP bumpstops for front and rear too? @qube oh yo just as I need! Cant seem to find these models anymore on the Bilstein page. Demon tweeks seem to have them if i search up "BLS22-144256......." may cost me around $700 give or take. Should I also need anything besides these 4 items? Cause I will be handing the labour to my mechanic (still need to look for one)
