Driftit 2078 Report post Posted March 29, 2021 Rubber floor mats that I can get quickly that fit well. Can anyone recommend any? I usually hate them but I need them to protect the carpet as we move into wetter weather. I also have sheep on the property who just love to sleep on the bloody driveway right by the gate. When I go to leave they stand up, take a dump and wander away. I hate sheep. There are about 200 of them taking turns doing this it seems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GorGasm 563 Report post Posted March 30, 2021 Rubbertree probably has something. Although the ones I got for my Maser are ever so slightly too big which is annoying as they bunch up. https://www.rubbertree.co.nz/product/75324/all-weather-rubber-car-mats-to-suit-bmw-1-series-e87-hatch-5-door-2004-2011 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has a few goodies on it. Great candidate for a manual swap. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, right. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/3038361663 It's like mine. But with more KMs. A year older. No wheels. And in worse condition. For double the price... Good buy. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brianr70 83 Report post Posted April 8, 2021 Just curious how many 130i people with automatic gearbox's use the 'sport mode' thing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted April 8, 2021 Just now, Brianr70 said: Just curious how many 130i people with automatic gearbox's use the 'sport mode' thing? Frequently. Whenever I want or need more aggressive shifting, rev hold to redline or manual mode that doesn't automatically revert to Drive. The standard mode on the box does none of those things. My trans has been flashed though and is very aggressive in Sport mode, your experience may be different. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driftit 2078 Report post Posted April 15, 2021 Hmm those coms faults. That means ISTA was not able to talk to those modules. So you don't know if they have their own issues. You would be best to ask @promo if any of these are majors. Have the cats been removed? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted April 15, 2021 @qube - interesting array of messages... Does the car actually have comfort access (cool if it does)? Does it have PDC? If it has PDC then that might the the "CA control unit" they're referring to... not sure. If it is then I suspect if you replace that (~$350 used) then the rest of the problems may magically disappear... the problem is you won't know until you try. https://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=754683 Very common problem. Because the errors you're getting are all electronic and cover an array of unrelated systems then my suspicion would be a single faulty module spazzing out the others. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3570 Report post Posted April 15, 2021 It does have ca. It used to work then stopped. Cause was water leak into the module. cats not removed afaik. Exhaust did seem a bit on the loud side though. for what its worth car drove awesome. No engine issue could be felt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) CAS module is in the front of the car (https://www.bimmerscan.com/media/Docs/CAS_r.pdf) not the rear, hence my question about PDC. The description you posted in the image above appears to be incorrect. Edited April 15, 2021 by M3AN Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M3AN 4016 Report post Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) You can't rely on any of the codes you're getting if you have a known faulty unit in the chain. Edit: you may be able to code out CA and disconnect the unit, I'm not sure. Edited April 15, 2021 by M3AN Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZ_InFerno 371 Report post Posted April 15, 2021 It seems like you know most of the the faulty parts, get a bmw dealer quote on them would give you a worst case scenario. Personally unless the car was super cheap I would find another as you've got a couple of rabbit holes there, without getting into stuff like waterpump, coils and other maintenance bits that likely needs doing considering the current state of the car. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
promo 93 Report post Posted April 16, 2021 @qube - Hiya, second hand CA module easy to program and code. As for the DME. some of the codes possibly are history and not current. i.e 002F4A DME: Interface EWS(immobilzer-DME) this code being current the car wouldn't start. start off by erasing all codes go for a drive then re scan and see what codes appear.

promo 93 Report post Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) 16 minutes ago, qube said: @promo thanks for the reply. im not too concerned with the CA module as such. As you said its probably not a big job to get that sorted if i can source the control box cheaply. i am also thinking that the other dme codes might be historic (the photos are printouts from a previous check up and not right now). unfortunately the car is quite far away from me for me to go back and clear it (if its even still there). i am more concerned about the CEL errors and from my research i am potentially looking at: 1x oil pressure sensor 2x vanos solenoids 4x o2 sensors which is about $1000 in parts then it still needs new vcg and other maintenance items. definitely starting to look like a fairly expensive list of repairs. (If it wasnt clear its not my car, just considering buying it) on your scan tool bring up live data and pin point which values are out and replace those parts.
