goto EAS in airport west

theres no need to drive half across melbourne for a std procedure item

theres done a trillion skylines

There is no need to drive half way across Melb period, wether for a basic tune or a full house build up :P

It's the reason I don't recommend EAS to eastside people; good workshops can be found on both sides of town, just silly to waste money, time and fuel driving across town. Having said that, EAS has a a fair few customers come from the east and also country areas, so each to their own.

WOW! iseekool thanks alot, thats really helpful. maybe ill buy those oils to and provide them to whoever i take the car too.

CHEERS THAT'S GREAT INFO.

Also i forgot to mention, when i change gears in my auto the car seems to move or shake forward or backwards a little.

IS DAT A SIGN OF MY GEARBOX SCREWING UP? or just needs new oil? My uncle mentioned something about getting my gearbox flushed and add new oil... is that suppose to make it better?

I have the same thing happening in any auto car, it is normal for an auto, especially if the engine is cold due to the higher revs, once everything is warmed up it is felt much less. How bad is it? Is there a big delay when it happens? Do you notice any drivability problems, rough shifts or mis-shifts?

Changing the trans fluid will not hurt. :P but personally I'd put it as a lower priority for now. Depending on how much you drive - the trans fluid should be good for another 1/2 year - but of course as with anything the sooner you change the better. Don't forget to use Castrol Transmax Z. :)

dr drift in brooklyn??

like has been said, the 100 000 service isnt rocket science, just takes a bit of work. So i reckon ideally you would just want to get a workshop that is relatively close and knows skylines. It will cost you around the 1000 mark id say, When i was living in Albury, i got mine done, i think it worked out to about 1000 from memory.

      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.
