e39 Parts and Maintenance Cost

[Jerman]

i would go for the original when it comes to belting.

had few bad experiences with OEM belt whereby less than 5000 km already squealing and even tearing up on me.

Just to share, the price difference between Continental OEM fan belt (RM 38) vs BMW original (RM 165) = 4x
Not sure if the original will last 4 times longer?

Be careful where you buy your Castrol Magnatec lube oil as many are fakes in the market.

 

[king82]

yup, understand that...the shop claimed that they were selling originals as they had the sample thingy in front of their shop (the one which shows the difference between castrol and non-castrol usage)...i bought the CRC cleaner there...forgot the shop's name, same row with tenichi audio...

[king82]

Its Soon Seng Lee they are CRC dealer and also Castrol too. I get my tools there:top:

And their price is extremely reasonable. Owner is friendly, with plenty of merboks inside the shop

i think this is the one...chinese shop name...got the crc cleaner there for RM30.

RM98 berapa liter? should be standard 4L i guess?
