I've been getting some real lowball offers since I relisted mine. Probably just keep it at this stage since the mrs has claimed the X5. Honestly though, I think I'd prefer an auto at the moment. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftit 1945 Report post Posted October 7, 2022 I feel like the wear on the bolsters and rubbers doesn't match how many KM's it has done. Could be 80k km's of city driving. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4015 Report post Posted October 7, 2022 Well spotted, I didn't pay attention to those door seals. And yes, certainly a passenger car given the wear on that outside bolster. All the bidding happened in the first day, I wouldn't expect much more until the last day now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd tend to not pay over 10k for one, so this seems about right. What brand are the wheels? See what service history it has and if the usual culprits have been addressed (water pump, thermostat, valve cover gasket, oil filter housing gasket, sump gasket, coils, plugs, etc, etc.) This claim sounds very dubious if my memory serves me... "Even in third gear, on a dry road, you'll light up the traction light if you plant the foot." Check the tyres aren't rock hard rubbish. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rather than asking unnecessary questions and be considered a dick by other watchers. Use your life skills when talking to the vendor, and you get a better idea of both the car and the seller, and you should be able to make an informed decision quite quickly. I must admit to being addicted to reading the Q&A sections on Trade Me auto's, its more fun than watching TV.

Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted October 12, 2022 For those who have done a 100,000km in your 130i what have you had to do? From 110-210km mines been: 3 sets of tyres (first 2 were Pilot Sports, since moved to Primacy and getting much better life for slightly less performance) Set of brake rotors Set of pads 2 coils Accessory Belt tensioner and belt Many oil changes Rear sub frame bushes Gearnob (was getting pretty worn from ~160km) I need to do the rocker cover gasket and front brake lines in the near future. I may jinx it, but it's been pretty cheap to run thus far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZ_InFerno 369 Report post Posted October 12, 2022 Have done nearly everything attached to the engine(or have parts to) except DISAs and Waterpump(already done) in less than 10k kms 🤣😭 Car had 176k on it and had been well maintained with service history for the previous 100kish kms it had been in NZ.

Bought the car 165kms now sitting on 177kms All New tyres+wheels Accessory Belt tensioner and belt Rocker cover gasket + Sump Waterpump+thermostat Oil filter housing and coolant gaskets + Upgraded Micky mouse to Aluminium (from FCPeuro) Few extras Engine flush using Liqui moly's additive Then follow it up with new oil changes services replaced air filter with a K&N and cabin filter with a new bosch fiber anti bacterial My next project is - Handling M3 Control arms (5-piece) *just waiting for the price to go down abit on FCPeuro Bilstein shocks b4s on all corners + bumpstops Upgraded Brake line to steel And not to forget the Camber pin mod! before all of these Also contemplating to replace Hydraulic fluid reservoir seen some videos to DIY very straight forward. Reason to replace is to stop it from leaking/sweating due to old age or the irreplaceable built-in filter. But nothing major at this point.
