NZ_InFerno 371 Report post Posted November 9, 2020 Since the 130i people are hanging about here, where can I get some black kidney grills from? Aliexpress I've had two sets turn up of the wrong type/size. Found some on schmiedmann that seem to be the right shape but it's 80 euros shipping ?. Anyone ordered off them know how to get cheaper shipping or recommend a freight forwarder? There's a couple of other genuine parts I'd like to order from them.

Matt 123 Report post Posted November 9, 2020 Not a 130i, but there is a 120i at Pick-a-part Mangere at the moment, with the factory aero spoiler if anyone is looking for one. Also possibly a AC Schnitzer bodykit by the looks of it? I was there yesterday and it is still mostly complete... http://www.pickapart.co.nz/eziparts/Display_Vehicle.asp?PriceListID=0&VehicleID=7796&Location=pickapartconz&LocationID=3&VehicleDesc=BMW 120i 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, Ali can be a nightmare in instances like this. I got mine of Schmiedmann and looking back at the invoice I got a whole bunch of stuff and the shipping as US$71. I recall adding one of their mugs dropped the shipping by US$10. If you need other stuff just try loading it into your cart to see what it does with the shipping price but their shipping prices have increased since the beginning of the year I've noticed. I recall finding the ones with the pointy corner in the e8x shape (as opposed to e9x) quite difficult. Also remember there's matte and gloss black.

The side skirts look okay but not sure I can be bothered. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M3AN 4016 Report post Posted November 10, 2020 Manual PFL with some nice bits for $11,500. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/2857144677 I like the wheels, looks like a BMWP rep rear diffuser, 135i exhaust, would be interesting to see the intake.

Blackie 510 Report post Posted November 12, 2020 What about this colour? Very deep blue? Not sure I've seen one in this shade before. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/2854642618?bof=KKNmwhp5 Also, saw a 130i at Te Atiawa netball courts in Pram beach tonight. Had non-OEM wheels and stubby aerial in silver. Anyone on here?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted November 14, 2020 Will be interesting to see what this late model auto goes for: https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/2861212187 Given it's is a low start price it might offer a more realistic view of the market than some of the sky-high prices out there. Unless of course the reserve is sky-high also. Assuming the comments are correct and finance, WoF and rego are sorted for sale. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

qube 3570 Report post Posted November 21, 2020 The paintwork has a lot of scratches but otherwise mechanically excellent. Drives perfect. new wof, 4 new tyres and alignment, full service history for last 5 years one owner since imported in 2015 and nothing that needs attention urgently. Big bonus is nz nav enabled and has bluetooth for calling and music streaming which isnt normally an option for E chassis CIC idrive so absolutely stoked. pretty damn happy with it and just puts a smile on my face when i drive it. in other news a $1 res popped up today: https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-2872228452.htm Lots of pros and little cons. Would be interesting to see how this auction goes. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) Nice one Kyu, now for some suitable wheels... how long do you think you'll keep this one for? Another $1 reserve: Manual - not running - https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/2872154553 If I were closer to Twizel I'd check it out... even a whole new engine is probably viable if you can pick it up for cheap. @gofaster - keen on a project? Know a good mechanic? Good summer road trip from ChCh. And another 2010 for $8500 (but know we know they're worth closer to $7250). https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/2872287050 Edited November 22, 2020 by M3AN 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, No? https://www.trademe.co.nz/2871380039 Cons on the no reserve car Small ding and scratch on the left rear quarter panel It's an automatic, real drivers cars are manual ?
