Put it this way, my Nismo twin has taken easily 300-400 launches, 50 of those on drag radials before the diff destroyed itself and i tell you, the clutch was smelling like it was farked. Let it cool down though and it was good again.

Plus it's been in the car for ~30,000kms going off the old owner etc. So it's certainly proved it's value.

Tell me about it! They do put out quite a smell when you cook them! you think "well that's it I just farked my clutch" only to discover that it still drives fine and once it's cooled (which takes ages if you are driving still) the smell goes away.

mine is still going strong and I've done 100,000km on it!

It's a good question, as they are a reasonable price with the flywheel.

Same compound as the twin, just a lessor power ratting (so its easy on the foot)?

RWD only iirc,

Last DECA I managed to experience this playing around with my launch RPM, i'm glad you say that ;).

Oh yeah + another 2c for nismo twin plate (although I have the super coppermix? http://www.nengun.com/nismo/super-coppermix-twin-plate-clutch).

I've got a exedy heavy duty clutch in mine, I've got 270rwkw it feels like stock it should handle 300kw easy

It should be within your budget. I got my clutch through Racepace just ask them.

Thats what i got in at the moment at 250kw. my mate has just over 400 in his VL with a exedy heavy duty in it. the clutch has been in there for years with hundreds of launches and is still holding.

^^^^ No need, he is getting the Nismo at a very very good price!

James, if you are worried about if it's legit or not, I think it comes with an engine bay plate or something to that effect with the part #s on it, I know mine had one as it's stuck in the engine bay. They are extremely light on the foot (easy in stop start traffic even), much better than the high clamp load singles.

Yeah i was gonna say, $1800 is cheaper than any price I've ever seen (except for the LINK clear out sale last year).

$2000 ex-japan, but the lead/wait time is upto 2 months.

So local for $2200 - still a good price

      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.
