sifus,

got quotation from eng soon. a chap called jason e-mailed to me. these are prices in sgd;

1. stab bar rubber mounts (pair) $26 x 2
2. swing support (pair) $30 x 2
3. tie rod (pair) $58 x 2
4. wishbone (pair) $130 x 2

All in all $488..or RM1,200 plus minus. I think i wanna do my rear susp ball joints as well. what do you guys think of driving to s'pore and get these parts installed there? how much labor chrge in s'pore? i have to go to JB in next mth anyway?

 

[bmw7833]

Labor is bit expensive in S'pore bcos the currency conversion..Normally i buy the stuff in S'pore and do it in M'sia..

Azan23uk,

No need to drive to S'pore for those parts, in KL you could get more or less same price. Price depend on brands, either original or OEM.
Along Jln Ipoh there around 6 BMW parts shops, visit them.
