I love that explosion effect. It got me good on your steering wheel removal video when disconnecting the airbag 😂 Glad to see it all went good George, car looks and sounds great 👍🏼
nice one mate!! good to see the 130i performing well ( except the gear knob!!!) yeah look into better brakes , have the f20 m135i ones on mine and they are so much better , and also lighter for the unsprung weight ! bigger discs and pads aswell ! great option without costing the world !! 😉
@@GeorgeAusters I believe so mate, I bought my car with them on, recently done pads which is super quick being held by 2 pins which is also a bonus 😂 Such a strong set up of brakes 100% worth it such a sensitive bite also! Esp as our cars are lighter then an m140 you won’t be disappointed!!
I'm doing trackdays here in Sweden with my 130 and all I've done with the brakes is better fluid and Pagid RS29L-pads, still stock-discs (Brembo, plain, not drilled or similiar), haven't had a break fade at all. Most session go from 12 to 20 minutes without issues. Note sure you actually need to upgrade the brakes tbh (I know this video is old and you've already done it but anway :) )
When you go on throttle, let's say you let go of the throttle and just roll, and then you put your foot on the pedal and start to accelerate again, there is a small delay. It's more noticable on track since you tend to want to go on throttle somewhat early in corners for many reasons. Isn't that something you've noticed? I've driven multiple 130s that has that "feature" :D @@GeorgeAusters
uuu not good, you are tense, do you relax, little smile on your face while driving, be glad you are there, it is every driver's dream. dont worry be happy! greetings from the Netherlands

Loving the sweet straight 6. Held its own and sounded strong.. 🙌
Definitely 👌🏻
Weapon driving a weapon! Hoo hah! Nice work... avoided all the dirt banks and all! 🙃😉
Nice car mate, definitely one of of BMWs best cars!!
For a non M car.. I completely agree!
Hearing this makes me want one of these so bad! I come straight from micha's recent video to this and i didnt see any difference in driving skill 😅

Thanks mate.. Yes I was thinking F-series brake potentially!
Same here 4 pots on mine 👌

learning the nordschleife layout definitely isn't easy!
I know lol, think I may have to play some more Forza motorsport!
Fair play George, car looked and sounded good on track
Yeah always nervous when going on that track!:D
Nice drive!
I would upgrade to Zimmermann Brakes.
And I would definitely think about installing a turbo on that 130i :D
I was thinking maybe the M-performance brakes or something from F series👍🏻
@@GeorgeAusters yea. The bigger the better. Have fun in Germany!
@@GeorgeAustersF series 4pots are a good call
Classic beemer fail, gearknob flying into back seat. Been there! Drove a Honda S2000 recently, now there's a gearshift! Nice driving though.
Haha yep😅
😂😂😂😂 gear knob 😁
Do you know of any way to get rid of the throttle-delay when going from 0 throttle to anything above 0 on the 130?
I don't understand

What's the state of the tyres after a lap, do u wear off a 1000miles worth or what ??
It really depends how hard you’re pushing it to be honest. I’ve never really pushed it so don’t expect tyres to have worn much👍🏻

As I said, I was still nervous as you probably would be too👍🏻
Hi George, off topic....just changed my disa's and breather pipes....Now getting rough idle...any ideas?
@shadowxxxyt9589 Probably have a vacuum leak
OK thanks, I thought maybe I might of connected disa's or breather pipes wires up wrong
@@GeorgeAusters
probably 🐌🐚
