Suspension- overseas. e8x/e9x are interchangeable aside from M stuff (M arms do fit). Do the TRW 1m/m3 arms, massive improvement in feel, plus more neg camber. Brakes differ. realoem.com will let you check part numbers and compare. Most coil over kits are the same. (Bilstein catalogue etc will validate this, assume KW will provide their numbers too) |

Own a manual 08 130i and a DCT MY13 135i. To be honest I prefer driving the 130i. The 130i has been pretty solid. Replaced the water pump and thermo at about 60k and thats about it. Dealer offered me 25k on trade-in for a 1M
I think it is a great little car with a bit of cult following. Good luck in your hunt for a good low K example. I'm sure you will enjoy it |
