The 130i failed its warrant due to a blown shock and the pads were contaminated from the oil from the shock. I decided to go all in and give it a glow up. BTW 3d design suspension is made by Ohlins. For those that remember my old 330ci, it had 3d design suspension, and was pretty sharp handling wise.

Yes check the LVDS cable, wrong way round was an issues for me also.

Try these settings. Resolution 640 x 240. Harman head unit. IDrive_B(CCC).

The Linux OS, is far quicker to start up compared to android. There is no noticeable lag, and it offers wireless Carplay and android Auto. It doesn't have as many features as an android head unit but it does do carplay and android auto very well.

Sorry, what I meant to say was the microphone was a bit muffled. After the firmware update it was a lot clearer.

I am keen on some shocks and springs in Auckland but the seller isn't sure about using a courier. Is anyone coming to Wellington in the next few weeks?

I am keen to rebuild my 135i 6 pot Brembo's and I need a replacement piston kit as the original ceramic topped pistons are in poor shape. Just seeing whats out there before I buy a kit online.

Fair enough, if 4 is good 6 is better.

I really like the design of the B58 but did you know the little B48 has some real tuning potential.

Unfortunately not.

Not in a big hurry.

5k would do it. What I paid, plus new rear tyres and a trans service at Hutt Automatics.

I did a bit of work on the X3, I cleaned the MAF, checked the disa which was sticking, I freed it up and then took the car for a decent drive. The improvement was nearly 1.5l per 100kms around town. Part of the issue was that the trans needed a service and was slow to shift up, and that combined with my daughter erratic driving style contributed to the average economy. I also performed and oil change but I cant see how that would have influenced economy. I also had a faulty coil so I replaced it a good second hand one I had. The car was certainly a bit smoother. Its got to go, My wife has her eye on a e92 Wagon.
