[QUOTE="BMWs, post: 373818, member: 17118"] I'm not supporting the E90 and why i said that its maintenance is a bit on the high side. Well on our recent drive down to Singapore to visit the F1 paddock together with our BMW Club members. My E90 decided to overheat on me while we were travelling around 180kmh. The red light came on with a "ting" sound and Imagine the panic i went through trying to pull over to the side of the highway at 180kmh. Thank you to all our sifu's out there. They concluded that i have a water pump failure and the best solution was to head down to AB JB. Our president manage to arrange a last minute appointment for me when they were about to close and when i arrived to AB JB. It was like a F1 pit stop. All the engineers and managers came out to greet me and my E90. Immediately they took the car for a check up and after 15 minutes they informed me that the water pump and termostat needs to be changed and they also informed me that my warranty just ended on 27th of July. So i said to them "Wow just after a month of warranty expiry, electronic parts also give way?". Amazing isn't it how BMW calculates when the parts fail. I was being sarcastic. So they proceeded to rectify and change all faulthy parts and no doubt they did a real good job including the hospitality. The damages came up to RM3400.00 and XXX has suggested to me to ask BMW for a goodwill compensation. Am still waiting for thier feedback. Thanks to Mr President and all the BMW club members, we manage to reach home safely and didn't have to take the bus. So i think E46 is still cheaper to maintain then a E90. Cause E46 doesn't an electric water pump or anything electronic thats worth RM3400.00 Cheers [/QUOTE]
