Okay so the more i read the more confused i am...

so im just gonna ask the masters to give me a hand...

Why is your username Joe and &33? Is it Joe and Ampersand33? Is it Joe and and 33? Do you stutter? Is it a typo? Is it relevant?

Again I remind you to read the above mentioned disclaimer.

Yeah, great advice already given, only thing I can add is depending what your power goals are you can consider getting a R34 GTT SMIC instead of FMIC. If you don't have high power goals then that is a great option. However in saying this, once you do a few mods the bug will get you so you then want more and will end up needing a FMIC.......

I have also wondered this. ;)

well my thoughts are that its a typo and he was meaning to have it "Joe and R33"......just my thoughts.....

ahh yes the power bug will bite you one way or another mate....so its proably better off going with a FMIC and not really worry about a SMIC.....when i was changing my smic to a fmic i was like WOW the FMIC is really really tiny compared to the FMIC......and if your going to boost it up then my advice which is what i am going to get done soon is get a electronic boost controller and a aftermarket fuel pump......and safely enjoy the boost to 10 psi and i personally wont go anything higher then 12 psi.....10 psi is a safe boost level and is more reliable

Joe, dont listen to these fools.

All you need is:

an atmo blow off valve - $150

4 inch exhaust tip (its the only bit people see) - $50

Huge sub and amp combo - $200 on ebay or similar

Chrome hubcaps (much cheaper than rims) - $40 ar Super Cheap Auto

and spend $60 on brand name stickers for your doors (Trust Greddy HKS etc)

All up $500 and youl'll have a fully sick ride.

Remember to drag off every car you see at the lights, keep the drivers window down and the sub turned up. With practice you may even master the art of driving with the seat all the way back and fully reclined. (chicky babes love this)

Dont forget racing stripes. Oh oh and DONT lower it whatever you do! Those stickers are about 5rwkw each at LEAST.

;)

There is nothing unsafe about 12psi and that is reliable too i had mine boosted to 14 drove like that for a year before it made funny noises

lol Guy so true

it really depends on the condish of the turbo i guess! a mate of mine has done the same as you, run it at 14 for over a year now and everytime i drive it still feels very good, no problems so far! unlike mine, the old owner must have boossted it and so! so when i was running 14 the bearing shat itself on the second day

if he goes all out and puts enough stickers on it, it will lower itself.

:D

Don't forget the mandantory LED lights for the windscreen washer squirters!

Thats another 2-3rwkw

:D

Oh ... and have a 'fake' roll cage made up with exhaust bends! :D

hahaha also there is cardboard estra wide spoilers and side skirts!!

hahahahaha

also with the name...

yeah i did a typo and i dunno how to change it back now... :D

PM one of the admins, im sure one of them will be nice enough to change it for you. Then again arent they all the greatest :D:D

Also, remember to have your right arm hanging out the window and left hand on the wheel at 1 o'clock staring down anyone that dares to look your way(yes I'm talking about that elderly lady over there)... makes you look sick... and looking sick = kw :D

and if your ever losing a drag against a VN, yell out "f**k the po-po", instant kilowatts, its like a NOS effect

but back to a serious note, there is MORE than enough information here to get you to the power you want.

but first, cooling and flow, cooling and flow.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
