I've had the 135i brake conversion done as I needed to overhaul the original calipers.
beware though some 255 rears after the conversion will rub under compression due to the increased track another option to keep the track the same is to use the specific bmw performance rotors I ended up getting an aftermarket pair off ebay - didn't end up using them as I went the full hub conversion |

I purchased the drive flanges and wheel bearings from Pelican Parts in the US and paid approx 50%(including shipping) of the price BMW want for them here.
I had the rear guards rolled when I was running after market 8.5 rims with a 40mm outset. I have increased the track by 10mm but i now run 8.5 LCi rears which have a 52 mm outset and depending on the brand of tyres I have minimal touching issues on the guard liners not the body work, I hope that better suspension (i am considering B14 coil overs) will solve the issue. I went with the 135i set up as going forward it will be easier to obtain rotors etc Enjoy your 130i!! |

If anyone is looking for some 135i brakes I have a set for sale. 48,000kms. Calipers are in great condition as are the pistons.

So I purchased the car that arthurtwp pointed me too. It was listed as an auto on carsales and hence I missed it in my searches.
Drove the car from Sydney to Melbourne today with a few small detours and clocked up a bit over 1000km. The car ran very well and I am very happy with it. |
