The 130i Thread

Recommended Posts

You can replace the PCV on its own. A few guides online. You can buy the replacement PCV separately. Pretty easy job.

They are a good brand, used a few of their products over the years. These diffs are crap anyway so frequency is more important given it meets the spec. Kane Barrie recommended 30 or 40k intervals iirc after he installed new bearings for a customer.

Kayne recommends 75W140 in them FWIW, mine has Royal Purple 75W140 in it and touch wood all is good and the Quaife is a happy chappy (Quaife recommend 75W90). I ran Penrite progear 75W90 for nearly 150,000km and had no issues, but, did have pinion bearing die (it had 290,000km on it though)

I have driven this very car a couple of times as my friend owns it. It is fabulous and well cared for, if I didn't have 7 cars it would probably be joining my fleet. 

Which M3 did he buy? Although guess it won't be long before it is revealed

Loving this little weapon, it's a perfect partner to the E39.

When I am in the mood for a wafty cruise the 5 series is perfect , when hoon mode is engaged the 130i such an engaging drive.

Drives super tight not a rattle or creak to be had, my only negative so far is the change into second feels just a little clunky and louder and the headlights need a good refurb.

Sounds glorious I am quite surprised how loud it is.

Anyone have a short shift kit installed ?

Very tasteful with the wing and I love the 313's on it! (am biased though).

Gave mine a wash in the weekend, sitting at 297,000km... need to get that last 3000 before the new lump gets in. 

Been hunting endlessly for a Simota airbox, cant find anything, looks like no longer available... once the MILVs/Tune/Headers are in its about all thats left on the list (short of that BMWP wheel with the digital read out...) The GruppeM intakes are available, but from what Ive seen first hand not really worth the price 😕

I also washed mine last weekend, needed it! 

Have you enquired with BDS about their filter/intake pipe combo? 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.
