hey dude, no luck on the new seriesII huh ?

but 90,000kms and your doing a major service ? why so early ?

nope no luck, i couldn't sell mine hey, it was getting too hard, :) i will wait untill i have paid off my loans and shit, then i may even get an R34 :uh-huh:

I wanna get the service out of the way, plus it is due for a standard service now so i thought, might aswell get it all done

kris

i see you finally got your car, well done

to give NA more grunt

increase air flow in and out of engine. failing that, force air in :)

theres nothin u can really do on a budget except for filter, exhaust and management. opening up a 6 cyl really isnt worth it, besides leave that thing to v8s, we specialise in bolt-ons:p :uh-huh:

Major Service is actually I little bigger then that.

Off memory its :

All Belts and Fluids

Brake Pad Check

Clutch Check

REPLACE WATER PUMP

Replace Air Filter

Fuel Filter

Fuel Pump Pressure check

Fuel Line inspection

Brake LIne inspection

Radiator Flush

Alternator Check

Battery Check

Computer Diagonistic/Adjustment

Its a huge service....you can everything yourself bar the computer check, alot easier to get it done but a workshop thou.

You sure about the water pump being replaced??? My R33 had (well apparently had) the 100,000 service at 91,000 and the pump went at 96,000.

How can you tell if its had the 100,000 service???

    • 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.
