Quoted me 320 pounds, for about a 15hp gain over a K&N filter with stock pipe which is pretty decent for a bolt on. I kinda want to see pictures of it, hes really cagey about it. Im dubious, and if its 320 pounds for some 2" alloy pipe segments welded together would be less than impressed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shipping was expensive too and plus vat. Price was reasonable pre shipping/vat 😂 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driftit 2086 Report post Posted April 20 Wasn't a scam. She's not that bad. Def new clutch. $3k for a manual 130. I'm happy. Now what to do with it. Do I steal its box for the race car and N55 the E34. Or do I just beat on this at the track. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacko 2157 Report post Posted April 21 I suspect N55 would lunch the box pretty quick? Stick a valeo SMF kit in it, fix it up and make it pretty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a built 6spd here I should use for that. We may put it around the track for this year's time trials at Manfield instead of the 200sx. Will get some photos of its condition when I see it.

Driftit 2086 Report post Posted April 23 (edited) Picked the manual 130i up today. It's pretty neglected. One NZ owner. Typical NZ A-B owner that has done the minimal it's entire life. I do have a ton of receipts for it though. It is the grubbiest BMW I have ever been near. Thick grime on all surfaces that you would touch. I went through about a dozen wet wipes just cleaning the gear knob. Yuck. Clutch is gone but I was able to drive it over the hill without it slipping much. Will decide if I go single mass or dual mass once I decide what I will do with it. Paint is neglected to hell. I did a quick spot check to see how it would react to some cleaner wax and it came up not too bad. So will cut and polish the car. There are dents and some shitty paint from a cheap repair on one of rear quarters. Car has been sunbaked so I will replace a bunch of common trim bits. Standard oil leaks. Needs a new steering wheel badly. But other than that there are no vibrations, suspension is better than my white ones. Engine seems responsive. Good deal for $3K. It's the black one BTW. Good from a far, far from good. Edited April 24 by Driftit 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mmario 51 Report post Posted April 25 CDV delete and new trans fluid today, easy job aside from rounding off the stupid plastic bleed screw a little..grrr What a difference !! Clutch action is just 100 times better, shifts butter smooth, what were BMW thinking with this. Interesting that my car was owned by an enthusiast without deleting it, crazy 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted April 25 Got my white one which I need to now sell, I'm seeing a wide range of pricing but what's a fair price for a 2006 white manual 130i with 220k on the clock? It's in good running condition with no oil leaks etc. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jadon 4 Report post Posted April 27 I’ve owned my 130i for almost a year and never knew about this thread until someone mentioned it to me in my fb post. I’ve just listed my 2007 130i on trademe. I won’t explain everything again cause it’s in the description of the listing. I will say here that the car is very tidy in my opinion and I’m only selling due to wanting a manual 130i. https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-4682252838.htm 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftit 2086 Report post Posted May 4 (edited) I just cleaned the Black manual 130i inside (mostly) and out. It is the first time I could go over it.. Outside Needs Bonnet Painted Needs Roof Painted Looks like a small frontal at some stage (tow bar dent) and popped the bumper off in one corner. Windscreen has been replaced by Smith and Smiths worst installer. Some of the door plastics are sun baked. Dents. Everywhere. Like it was parked the closest to the door at the supermarket next to the new mum carparks permanently. One headlight is out. The other looks like it lived in the Sahara for most of its life. Inside The filth. Oh god the filth. I honestly don't think the seats have ever been cleaned. Front seats took me 30mins each just to clean. Not even condition yet. They came up nice though. I hate people with long nails that scratch everything they touch. Most of the interior came up nice. There are tacks holding the headliner. The entertainment system doesn't even try to work. Steering wheel is the worst I have seen in a BMW since the clapped E36 days. Mechanical Clutch is gone. There are lots of receipts. There are lots of oil leaks. It is pretty unmolested under the bonnet. I am pretty sure the owner never once opened the bonnet. 217,000kms and I am pretty sure it has had 2 oil changes total. Everything else seems okay so far. Battery died totally whilst I was cleaning the car. I can't open the boot until I charge it a little to see it. At the moment I am really leaning towards keeping it for Targa or something. Sharing E90 parts makes it pretty cheap to build something out of. I have been advised by Kayne Barry that I should look to find a final drive ratio which would allow me to use 3rd through 6th on the track. Avoiding 2nd. 2nd to 3rd is a wear point with these boxes. There seems to be plenty of parts for sale on fackbook marketplace for all the small stuff I need. How hard is it to convert the rear lights to the LCI ones?
