Driftit 2078 Report post Posted November 25, 2020 Have to fix my stupid FRM first. Quite a mission to get my car over to Promo now I don't work over there. Also finally have been called up for my recall by Winger. They then called back 2 days later and bumped it out another week... They better have the damn part this time. I don't want to have to go all Karen on them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NZ_InFerno 371 Report post Posted November 27, 2020 If you're ordering some pointy cornered grills from schmiedmann let me know, I want to get a gloss black pair from there but shipping is horrendous Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacko 2156 Report post Posted November 27, 2020 Weird, might have been a transition period? I got mine from schmiedmann Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZ_InFerno 371 Report post Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) Also I've got some E87/E90 bits that will be free to a good home. Will make up a proper post soon but off the top of my head: - gloss black grills, the rounded version. Brand new - "leather" gear shift gaiter but it's LHD, may just be throwaway. Brand new - manual shifter bushing, the one the shifter sits in. Its brand new - 130i undertray, non official one. Was fitted to my e81. Other things that I need to check on.

qube 3570 Report post Posted November 27, 2020 @NZ_InFerno This is the shape i need (pointy corners) https://www.schmiedmann.com/en/bmw-e87/1992697-new?product=NS8187HG But i want double slat design like this https://www.schmiedmann.com/en/bmw-e87/1965235-new?product=NS81828788HGDG anyone can find it online??

NZ_InFerno 371 Report post Posted November 27, 2020 Yep mines the same, I need pointy corners too. Only place I found was schmiedmann. Double slat grills were on the newer 1 series, are their grills the same size/shape? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3570 Report post Posted November 27, 2020 No it has to be made for the e87 shape. Cant use f20 ones if thats what u mean. i can find plenty on aliexpress but looks ugly as the top frame is really thick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZ_InFerno 371 Report post Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) We probably need a 130i general thread ? Anyway I went through the garage/shed and these are all the spare bits I have, free to a good home. - gloss black grills, the rounded version(likely face-lift) with 6 tabs. Brand new, aliexpress special. Quality is good, just doesn't fit my car. - "carbon fibre" grills, brand new. Pointy ended but with a thick lip on them. Possibly E90 but may fit a pre face lift. Have 4 tabs, which is similar to my pfl Kidneys. - "leather" gear shift gaiter but it's LHD, may just be throwaway. Brand new aliexpress special. I've got to stop ordering parts at 2am lol - manual shifter bushing, the one the shifter sits in. Its brand new from fcp - 130i undertray, non official one. Was fitted to my e81 for about a month. Is an abs replica of a real tray, which I did not realise when ordering lol. Wasn't cheap. Pretty sure it needs matching holes drilled into it for the front screws (2 or 3)but otherwise all the holes in it have been pre-drilled. Definitely more solid/durable than the factory tray. - Wiring I bought which goes between the valvetronic motor and the electronic relay. It has a bmw part number. I never used it as replacing the motor and the relay fixed my issue. Brand new from FCP - Valvetronic motor gasket for a face-lift N52, black top. Will not work on the silver top engine, that's a different gasket ?. Brand new from FCP I also have a set of BMW roof racks for E87 but I'm undecided if I want to keep them or not. They won't be free. I can ship most of these, except the undertray possibly. Buyer pays. Pm me if interested.

(Pointy corners) its bloody hard to find black grills with the pointy ends which are supposed to fit 2004-2007 and rounded corners is for 2007-2011. weeeeeird The complexity is that it's not only an PFL/LCI thing, it also has to do with whether you have a motorsport bumper. All E81/7 motorsport bumpers, regardless of the year of the car, have pointy corners... this does not apply to E82/8. Also, LCI is confusing because there were two LCI's, one n 2007/8 and the other in 2010 These will probably work, no idea on shipping: https://marsperformance.com.au/Matt-Black-1M-Style-Front-Kidney-Grille-BMW-E87-E81-Hatch-Pre-LCI-04-10 https://marsperformance.com.au/Gloss-Black-1M-Style-Front-Kidney-Grille-BMW-E87-E81-Hatch-Pre-LCI-04-10 Note they're for a "PRE LCI 04/2010" - lots of confusion. The Schmiedmann ones also obviously fit (I have them) but unless you're combining shipping they're prohibitive.

Could just be air in the head, had same thing happened on my 130i after an oil change, ended up fixing it by holding revs at 4000 for 5min. Lumpy idle could be a bung coil, also had that happen to me. Still an auto though Edited December 3, 2020 by Jamez 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
