First of all, I have to say that I'm a little ignorant about cars (compared to all the sifus/members here), particularly beemers. So, I hope u guys can help me out.My first agenda would be to do up the engine. Right now, it seems that the engine needs a new timing belt, and i believe the top gasket is leaking. And of course, i plan to do the mandatory oil-change and servicing. (What is a reasonable cost for all of this?)I believe that I should go to a workshop that is familiar with this model, but some of my friends (who r not UDM owners) say that these r minor things that any workshop can fix. Please advise.And can anyone suggest a reasonably competant (and reasonably priced) workshop around my house (Kerinchi) or my workplace (Jln Semarak)?I also believe the left front shocks are dead (minimal travel/very keras/bunyi-bunyi). How much for a pair and where to get? Please advise.I guess that's all the questions I have for now. I apologize for my ignorance and I'd appreciate any help given. Thanx in advance, guys.</p></blockquote><p></p>
