Jadon 4 Report post Posted May 26 So my 130i has no dsc at the moment because the abs has failed and I have noticed that the car now likes to smoke one tire in the wet. Do these cars have an e diff in them? I’ve tried to google it but there’s not a lot of info. I feel it would make sense as my car did consistently spin both wheels previous to the abs fault.

Driftit 2001 Report post Posted May 27 What codes are coming up? Wheel speed sensors are the most common failure for this type of fault. Easy replacement. ABS pump is a not a fun task. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LCI ones do, its garbage though, it just applies the brake to the spinning wheel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ABS pump is a not a fun task. My first thought was wheel speed sensors but I’ve had it scanned at a shop and it is the abs pump. The mechanic says it’s a simple job.

Danch 33 Report post Posted May 27 To all manual 130i owners: do you hear a slight rattle for 1 second when you turn off the engine? Just like when you try to take off in first gear with not enough throttle? I have spoken to a few mechanics and some people say it's a sign of dual mass flywheel failing but some are saying it's normal? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacko 2100 Report post Posted May 27 Sounds like DMF is in bits. Its not normal. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it goes away when you put the clutch in while turning off the car i wouldnt worry about it, most vehicles with a dual mass flywheel have it to varying degrees. You would experience much worse symptoms in the unlikely event the dual mass really starts to fail before a clutch replacement. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danch 33 Report post Posted May 27 Thanks guys, my car's only done 130k so I'm guessing the flywheel is in reasonable condition. However, it looks like there is no stock of 130i DMF in NZ so I think I might just order it, just in case DMF happens to be worn. If the flywheel is in good condition, I will just put the flywheel up for sale. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harper 485 Report post Posted May 27 Yeah I think it's fairly characteristic of most DMF bmws. My M3 still does it even after replacing the DMF. Interestingly my 330 compact doesn't though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Put in a single mass in and you wont have to worry about it. 10 hours ago, Harper said: Yeah I think it's fairly characteristic of most DMF bmws. My M3 still does it even after replacing the DMF.

Mine started becoming noticeable in the cabin when i put M3 flywheel\clutch in, before that you didnt hear anything unless you were underneath the car. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftit 2001 Report post Posted June 5 (edited) Disgusting. All-new BMW 1 Series Premiere REVIEW 2025 with M135 (youtube.com) FWD platform. Halo's are gone. It's huge. Tacky capacitive touch screens. Petrol models no longer have an "i" in their name. 135 is 4WD only. The tacky eBay puddle lights come standard now... M-Sport seats look great though.

Watch Chris Harris' review on the m2 and he believes its a very nimble car despite the numbers on paper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elias 234 Report post Posted June 12 Hello, not strictly 130i related but e87 related. Yesterday I acquired a 123d hatch (2008, pre-LCI) as a daily driver. Loving it so far, being NZ new it is an interesting spec. I would like to put a double din headunit into it, has anyone here done so before on a pre lci e87? Ive got manual AC and no iDrive. Any advice would be appreciated, particularly relating to what physical bits are required to mount it, wiring should be ok. Lower dash conversion necessary?
