M3AN 4049 Report post Posted Sunday at 07:06 AM (edited) It’s with some regret that I am selling this car as I really love it but no longer need it. It’s been a fun and faithful not-every-day daily for the last 5 and a half years during which I’ve given it the best care I can. Perfect for a driver that wants a rapid auto, or who has the means to do a manual swap. Highlights Essentials: Mileage: ~138,000 kms Warrant Expires: June 2025 Registration Expires: June 2025 Price: $10,000 firm Viewing: Epsom, Auckland by appointment - 022 413 9857 (please txt first) Showroom Thread: https://bimmersport.co.nz/topic/62890-my-fun-130i-e87-lci-motorsport-auto/ – note: the contents of that thread may be dated and no longer accurate, if you see something over there that’s important to you please ask rather than assume. The Good: It’s fast and agile, absolutely planted w/custom geometry, no rear end hop Mechanical LSD Custom adjustable coilovers w/Eibach springs (fully cert’ed) M3 front suspension components Custom full length stainless exhaust w/Y pipe 280hp tune and gearbox flash (it’s absolutely feral in Sport mode) Really good condition inside with some genuine BMW Performance additions Blue Brembo F series brakes (rears not installed) New battery and nearly new front pads and rotors Refurbished style 208 wheels in Ferric Grey II (small rash on LR) External billet PCV/CCV (Orange Wolf) Proper sequential aluminium shift paddles (R pull = up, L pull = down) Cruise control (full OE retrofit) 10.25" Android touch screen w/Bluetooth The Bad: Headlights could do with a polish Headlining has recently failed, held up with upholstery pins Stupid personalised plate FUNWON (included free if you want it, not sure of procedure if you don't tbh) The Ugly: Roof and bonnet paint are both scoured, it’s weird as it’s under the clear coat – I’ve had the whole car professionally cut and polished and that hasn’t improved it, if it bothers you then a new (used) bonnet (~$150) and a wrap for the roof (~$250) would be my recommendation. But it's really difficult to see other than close inspection, see first pic below as good evidence. Additional Details Drivetrain: N52B30 w/280 hp + 340 Nm tune Annual oil and filter changes (Penrite HPR5 5w-40) VANOS solenoids & filters removed, tested, & cleaned Mishimoto silicon intake hose BMC performance washable air filter Billet CCV/PDV valve (Orange Wolf, no more blown valve cover or oil filter housing gaskets) Gorgeous custom stainless 'Y' exhaust (Orange Wolf) Automatic w/tune (Sport mode is wild) Proper mechanical LSD (presumed to be Orange Wolf but unconfirmed) Chassis: E90 M3 front lower control arms Poly bushed front tension arms (E90 M3+) E90 M3 front anti-roll bar w/new bushings & droplinks Camber pin mod Front Ultra Racing strut bar CPM centre chassis brace M140i front Brembos w/new slotted & dimpled rotors (<1000kms) Braided front brake lines M140i rear Brembos (not installed) – I have new E39 M5 rotors available separately if you want to install these brakes as that was the prevailing solution when I purchased the brakes but now, you’re much better off going with these: https://vysgarage.com/shop/ols/products/rear-caliper-bushings-slash-inserts-for-rear-brembo-m-sport-f2x-slash-f3x-slash-f8x-calipers which is what I’d do if I were keeping the car and MUCH less faff. Braided rear brake lines (not installed) Custom adjustable coilovers (Orange Wolf) Rear Nolathane poly subframe bushing inserts Custom corner weighted geometry (Racelign) Body: Sapphire Black Metallic Matte black kidney grills Dual Xenon HID's LED angel eyes (5800k) Philips X-tremeUltinon LED fog lights (5800k) Smoked progressive LED side indicators M3 wing mirror covers OEM Blackline tail lights Replaced rear wiper motor (no leaks!) Replaced fuel cover flap (“Pot”) BMW stubby sport aerial Refurbished & painted (Ferric Gray II) style 208 18" wheels (225/40/18 + 255/35/18) Rear valance painted in Ferric Gray II (to match wheels) New battery (11/2024) Interior: BMW Performance Alcantara gear lever & boot BMW Performance Alcantara steering wheel insert BMW Performance aluminium pedal covers LED interior lights Nelson Racing Wheel aluminium paddle shifters w/rewiring (R pull = up, L pull = down) Ashtray replaced w/OEM storage compartment Replaced armrest phone tray w/OEM storage compartment Avin USA 10.25" Android touch screen (replaces stock screen) Factory cruise control retrofit New cabin filter <1000 kms I'll clean the door jambs! Extras: Buyer can have as much, or as little, of the spare parts I have, including many ‘return to stock’ parts and extra trim pieces. Extra key pictured is NOT for this vehicle but is OEM so can be reprogrammed.

I'd really love this to go to a Bimmersporter to manual swap it, it would make one of the best 130/N52's in the country. I mean, it's f'ing awesome as an auto, it's seriously good as is, but as a manual it would be truly epic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
