But only worth $3k right?

Never. Wasn't getting enough people on fb market place asking if it's still available so I dropped asking to $7200

Yeah, we liked it because it never got hot in the sun.

Yeah I was thinking 8's probably worth starting at. Have put it on market place for $8.5k

Got my white one which I need to now sell, I'm seeing a wide range of pricing but what's a fair price for a 2006 white manual 130i with 220k on the clock? It's in good running condition with no oil leaks etc.

Yeah I can do whatever including migrating it.

To update, the server this site is on will be switched off in 90 days as I'm moving out, a linode instance big enough to host it will be $50usd a month if anyone wants to take it over (probably similar price on AWS/Azure). Think I've hosted this site now for 12 or so years. Once again contact Ollie if you are serious about taking it over.

Fixed it. I might be moving house in the near future so will probably take the site down for good unless someone wants to take this over from Ollie and Andrew. Talk to them and not me, there have been some threads in the past about them wanting to hand the site over to someone else.

Brings new meaning to a cut and polish.

When my starter motor recently failed I gave it a whack with the hammer, it then went from not doing anything to making a whirring noise and smelling like burning.

Starter motor died. Is there any reason to avoid a ATL one from Schmiedmann for $200 vs buying a bosch one locally for $400 vs buying a genuine one for a million bux?

Selling a MULF2 module $1res on trademe which ends tonight. Can be used to retrofit Bluetooth on a wide range of bimmers. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/bmw/electrics/listing/3817669789

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.
