The 130i Thread

They do their best to hide the BMW pn but, BO/BW/HK are fairly straightforwards :) These are the doors and rear parcel shelf units for E87.

Are front tweeters as easy as plugging them in to the spare connectors on the door mid bass’s? Not sure what spec is in my black 130 but it’s got the fr door and rear shelf speakers and 2 “subs” under the front seats.

Yeah, just plug them in. The filter is in the loom to the tweeter. I havent seen an E87 yet that actually has tweeters in the pods factory :D Japanese and NZ markets both seem to have got the absolute trashiest stereo options. 

The stock underseat subs are actually really good, they are just driven by the front door speaker channels though so sound limp as sh*t. Running them off their own amp completely changes the way all the speakers sound.

Awesome. Think I’ll take a punt on a set of tweets and mid-bass in Harman Kardon  flavour for the front doors. Fr+r channels I’m guessing can’t be bridged to give some extra doof doofs to the front?

Im not sure, I put a focal monoblock 350W amp under the boot floor and ran new wiring for them (subs are 4 ohm, but theyre running in parallel). Not going to be doing laps with cap on backwards and number plate shaking, but its genuinely one of the best most balanced car stereos Ive ever played with, compared to the murky mess that BMW sold them as.

Why don't I swap the rotors for for the lights when we meet Tuesday, then I can drop the light off when I pick up my wheels off @Jacko on Wednesday and he can give me the $125.

Oof not a cheap puddle either.

Cheapest i could find is $40/litre through Ace Autoparts in Otahuhu. It’s the Mannol brand.
