As much as it’s bad it does seem to work. It’s definitely noticeable not having it

My first thought was wheel speed sensors but I’ve had it scanned at a shop and it is the abs pump. The mechanic says it’s a simple job.

So my 130i has no dsc at the moment because the abs has failed and I have noticed that the car now likes to smoke one tire in the wet. Do these cars have an e diff in them? I’ve tried to google it but there’s not a lot of info. I feel it would make sense as my car did consistently spin both wheels previous to the abs fault.

It is the ga6hp box which I assume is the gm box. What cars came out with the zf boxes? I assume the xhp tune will not work on the gm box then.

How can you tell which auto box you have? Are there any ways of knowing without jacking the car up and finding a part number?

That looks promising. Has anyone had any experience with xhp tunes. My only concern would be bricking my car.

Sorry for the spam but does anyone know anything about tuning the auto gearbox so that it shifts quicker and is more responsive to paddle input. Also can it be tuned so the car won’t auto shift when in manual shift mode. Thanks

So I’m getting that I should sell my car for a lesser price and just buy a manual car. Thanks for the help and the insight.

Another note, surely if I manual swap the car I’ll be able to get a bit of cash in my pocket for the auto box. I plan on holding on to the car for a good while after and having a manual car would bring up the value if I ever came to selling it.

Yea I timed that a bit poorly. My thoughts behind manual swapping are that I know my car has been well looked after and I like the blue colour and my cars paint is still super mint. My only concern with manual swapping is it having a warning light for transmission. Is it possible to fully code the manual into an auto car?

Since listing my car three weeks ago, I’ve had multiple offers for 5k. Is that really all they are worth now? I spent almost double that a year ago to buy the car and back then they were getting snapped up before I could get a look at them. I want a manual 130i and I’m starting to think going towards a manual conversion might be the better option for me. Does anyone have any experience with the swap?

I’ve owned my 130i for almost a year and never knew about this thread until someone mentioned it to me in my fb post. I’ve just listed my 2007 130i on trademe. I won’t explain everything again cause it’s in the description of the listing. I will say here that the car is very tidy in my opinion and I’m only selling due to wanting a manual 130i. https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-4682252838.htm
