i suggest you go to the bimmer aircond specialist located at the back of EPF HQ, behind Shell. Price reasonable but reserve plenty of time before you go there. If you want his number to check the price, PM me. Cheers...

Hi all,

Does anyone knows how much is the cost of changing e36 318i aircond condenser? Need to change it ASAP since it has a bocor spot somewhere. Only heard the hssing sound from there and my aircond now is panas(becoming heater la pulak,..) checked the cooling gas everything gone!

Thanx for the idea, however i dont have time to send my car to a workshop just to justifies the problem since i already knew the root cause. All i need is the parts budget which so far no one could assit me by so called sifu's here...anyone?

bro, engine mount for 328 is RM120 each if you buy from BA.

 

[8080pbmw]

bro, engine mount for 328 is RM120 each if you buy from BA.

the price billed to me is the price tag on BA lable. guess at least 25% mark up at Chu Seng.

25% margin seems fair for the level of investment, workmanship and skill needed to offer services to us bimmer drivers.
