So the M3 is gone and here’s the replacement
2006 E87 130i
Boston Leather (Inflatable Bolsters)
Xenons
Facelift Rear Lights
M Sport Trim
Auto Lights
Auto Wipers
FBMWSH
Need to check with BMW what the exact spec is
Was originally after a 3 door but they didn’t come out till 2007 so a bit out of my budget.
This one had a few “extras” that weren’t to my liking I’ve didn’t take any pics of it myself when I got it as I started removing stuff straight away.
Here’s the pics from the ad –
There was Carbon Fibre strips on the door pillars so that was binned first. The door mirrors also had CF covers so these were removed too
They were held on with double sided sticky foam so this was easily removed with Tar Remover. Mirror caps were fine underneath, luckily!
Next were these wee beauties
The seller left the originals in the boot but the clips were fooked so bought new ones this morning.
The bonnet and boot roundels were replaced with black and white CF ones so they’re for the bin too! Got new ones to replace them from BMW aswell.
Also need to remove the black and white CF badge on the steering wheel.
There’s a CF hatch spoiler fitted but I’m not sure what the future holds for it yet, it may stay or it’ll get painted.
Also removed the monchrome ///M badge from the boot for obvious reasons
Contemplating removing the 130i badge too, we'll see
I’ll concentrate on the inside first and sort the outside properly in the spring. I will however get the car up on axel stands and get the callipers painted black first chance I get. Think the tints need removing too. I’ve ordered a Scuffmaster Kit to do the driver’s bolster so I’ll give the leather a good going over with Gliptone. I doubt it’s ever been cleaned properly and there were BMW and ///M stickers on all the headrests, classy!
My first priority though is the tyres. Budget tyres all round and the fronts will need replacing soon. My plan is order winters now, sell the rears (if anyone wants them) and then buy some good rubber in the spring.
I’ll try and get some decent pics soon.
Cheers
