Dave_Tee 14 Report post Posted August 29, 2023 Gday all. I am looking to get back into a BMW and am interested on one For Sale in Auckland. Problem is I am based in the South Island. Are there any knowledgeable forum members who would take a look for me - for a fee of course! Keen to get an unbiased look over it. It’s an e87 130i. Cheers Dave 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ciderbeard 15 Report post Posted August 29, 2023 Looks like it could be a reasonable price. I paid 10k for mine with more kms and had to put in a couple thousand of maintainece work. If it’s as tidy as he says / it looks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thought about the cheapest one that’s in the Tron but it seems a bit hard with the seller, and that one here in the Hutt looks munted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Irobin 8 Report post Posted September 2, 2023 Hey, I’m having an issue with my 130i, the audio cuts out intermittently when using radio and aux, sometimes it doesn’t do it at all and then other days it does it heaps. It’s a 2007 ccc idrive, I’ve read it could be the mulf but I don’t have Bluetooth and I’m not to technically savvy to be honest. Has anyone had this issue with their 130 and found a fix?

Not sure why it was done that way but I guess the silver top engine is a bit nicer than the later one and the MSV70 ecu is more tunable. mileage on the donor engine was almost exactly the same as the original.
