Not sure if there's such a thing as "wrong" style but I think they're 261's which were a factory option for the 130's, standard on the 135's. The blue one I shouldn't have purchased came on them.

^ I think he means the spare is a style 66 - E39 bore and offset which wont fit the 1 series

Ahh... I see. I wonder if that is better or worse than no spare at all (assuming non-runflats)?

16k? 🤨 A mint manual isn't worth that.

And even with those miles a 10 year old car still needs 10 year old maintenance.

Love my luggage straps.  And love Advans.  But that at that asking price I could have had two of my 130.

Took the 130i out over the weekend and found that when i was braking from high speed I was getting a bit of a shudder from the brakes. 

Any ideas ?

Aprils does that on longer spirited drives but then comes right with normal driving. In my case I figured it was just pad buildup.

Warped rotors?

Thanks for the comments. I suspect it might be pad build up as it only happens when coming from high speed to a slow speed/stop. My rotors are a bit rusty looking too.

Factory pads create a bit of build up.  Always comes right with normal driving for me.
Otherwise your lower control arms could be done.

if the shudder happens around 80kmh then most likely LCA bushes

Any recommendations on best replacements ?

Get M3 ones, you'll need an alignment afterwards but if your existing ones are shot then any replacement would likely require an alignment. The TRW ones, which are actually BMW ones, will probably cost you less than replacing the bushings in your existing ones. The M3 front lower control arms add camber which is a good thing.

Amazon TRW p/n for M3s LCAs, can often find them for dirt cheap.

Lucky for some, Auckland City BMW continue to ignore my car. Great brand ambassadors they've turned out to be, Munich would be delighted I'm sure!

Probably yes, I am running F20 rims on the wife’s E87 and they are a very nice fit imho. From the reading I did the sizing and offsets between the two 1 Series generations was very similar, although I don’t think I checked style 385 specifically.

Would style 385 rims from an f20 fit on the 130i?

 

The $450 ones on trademe? They look good. Think the offset is in the ballpark, I had a quick look at the specs online yesterday.
