new 130i owner

onethirtyi · 10-18-2014, 09:52 PM

Hey guys
Picked up my first BMW (130i) a few weeks ago....always been a riding in Jap or Aussie made cars. Anyhow, I can't believe what I've been missing out on...i'm absolutely loving every minute of driving now!

Definitely a nice 130i you're now no longer missing out the Bavarian cars will be a nice change.

Congrats on the purchase

Some of you may remember OP from the Nov 09 Wiseman Ferry run.. sticking his head outside the window at over 100kph for a few km's taking photos lol (grey e87 in the photo)

We should start up monthly/friday meets again. Any of the older members still around?

Lol seems like a few of us have gone away form the brand, Unfortunately.

Glad you're enjoying your car. Five years in, and I still get a smile on my face every time I drive it.

So we cleaned the Intake Vanos & Exhaust Vanos Solenoids last night... and all I can say is, WOW! It's a must do DIY for any N52 or N54 hitting a few years old.. gets rid of that sluggish feeling
