Murray2023 9 Report post Posted July 25, 2023 Hi everyone, I'm new to the site, and new to BMW ownership. Just bought a 2008 130i (not sure if anyone knows this one?). Looking forward to putting some kms on it, and advise from yourselves on what to do, not to do, and who is best to do in Wellington region Murray 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
