[QUOTE="awyeah, post: 418143, member: 19607"] Bro, I had some similar problems when I got my 318i(M). 1. can't quite make it out but i hear crankling sounds when i drive over humps. this is on and off. it feels like my wheels are about to come off. think of a time when rims had covers. your advice? >>Is it coming from the shocks/suspension? If not, get your bodies bushings/mountings replaced and tightened. Also send you car for lubrication. 2. i have an oil leak somewhere and haven't had time to do a thorough check at the workshop yet. however, i just discovered that my power steering fluid seems to be running out faster than expected. i just filled up the container like 2 months ago, and yesterday, it was half full. any advice on how fast is it supposed to run out? 3. i need to change my headlamp glass panel. not sure if it's the right term but because of a recent accident, one glass panel look new and the other looks foggy. looks pretty weird. where would you recommend that i change it? >> If you want original bmw ones, you can find them at chop shops, near old klang road, in puchong, shah-alam, klang, kajang etc. If you want to replace the new ones then there are car accessorie shops in Sunway which have all the head, tail and fog lights, but they are the taiwan made ones.
