Someone nab it https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/130i/listing/4360704111?bof=r7KUqi1F I'm surprised that this hasn't been sold yet. $7.5k seems like a pretty good price.. is this where 130i market it?

Still a good pickup but I think it's priced about right for what it is, maybe $8k max? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_Tee 14 Report post Posted November 23, 2023 I agree with @M3AN NZ new also meaning generally lower spec. I saw this was up for sale about 12 months ago and never sold that time round either. Great base for a club/track car! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herbmiester 923 Report post Posted November 24, 2023 Keen to know what your fuel economy is like? I average around 10.6 L/00kms on combined city/highway driving. Is this high or around normal? On a flat bit of highway at100kph I will have 2000rpm on the speedo and will be getting 7 to8l/100km. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_Tee 14 Report post Posted November 24, 2023 Mines sitting on 9.2 L/100kms for combined but I rarely do more than 60km/h when commuting and very few highway km’s. I didn’t expect it to be this low and have been thinking about monitoring the fuel physically to confirm. When I bought it a few months back it was around 10.4 L/100kms from memory. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M3AN 4016 Report post Posted November 25, 2023 My fuel "economy" is essentially terrible, well over 10l/100km in urban/commute situations, I'm lucky to get 320kms from a tank. Mine is tuned, so not a perfect baseline. I eeked it down to 7.2l/100kms on a run to Pauanui and back some years back using a very light right foot and much cruise control, that wasn't much fun to drive though. At the end of the day I only fill it up once a month or less (98) so economy is less of a concern to me than fun. In "sport" mode, with both a flashed ECU and trans, I can see the fuel gauge moving down to empty when driving with spirit. Not much point in owning a straight six lump if you're looking for economy I suppose. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftit 2078 Report post Posted November 25, 2023 9.11 measured over 70,000kms. Ignore whatever your dash is telling you. Wildy inaccurate. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herbmiester 923 Report post Posted November 25, 2023 Ok so it sounds like my fuel economy is about normal. Funny my 335i was only a wee bit more thirsty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thorns 20 Report post Posted November 25, 2023 Numbers off for the 2023 figure? Seem to suggest you are paying nearly $6 a litre with the $53/100km cost? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftit 2078 Report post Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) Looks like it. Haven't reviewed this year yet. Probably a mistake in the price somewhere. Kms line up though. Edit: Found it. Fixed. Edited November 26, 2023 by Driftit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quite a few haha, I have a showroom thread with all the detail here: But in a nutshell, Full Birds B1 suspension kit with Quaife LSD, M3 front control arms, camber pin mod, bmw performance short shifter, Simota carbon intake, MILVs and tune, supersprint backbox, 135i brakes, BBS wheels, and a bunch of 1M style interior bits. Spent WAY too much money on it all haha but oh well, I always enjoy driving it! 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NZ_InFerno 371 Report post Posted December 10, 2023 Anyone know which crankcase ventilation hose attaches down by the starter motor? And what the part code is. I've had a bit of an air leak for a while that I suspected was the intake boot I swapped on. Turns out that was not the case, and a crankcase vent hose has come off deep down in the engine bay by the starter. I want to get a replacement just in case mine is broken, smoke test and borescope camera confirmed the hose is at fault but not enough to see if its just come off or has a damaged end. Since it's likely manifold off, again, to put it back on I want to make sure I have one on hand just in case. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure exactly which one you mean, but my best guess is #4 on this diagram? https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=UF92-EUR-03_2005_E87_BMW_130i&diagId=11_3738#11157567801 ?
