For wiper, go to the best wiper in the world. 2 years warranty. I have used for 3 years, still perfect. RM80 per car E39. Dura Edge Silicon wipers.

Looks like more parts to replace

Lower arm 288 x 2
Upper arm 305 x 2
Oil pipe 81
Valve cover gasket 60
Oil sump gasket 55
Power steering pressure hose 800
Atf 38 per liter x 6l
Bmw Super power oil 32 x 7l
Wheel arch cover 276
Bellows 20 x 2

These are the parts prices from BA

Now looking for a place to install them, that is ok with charging for workmanship only.

From my experienced...not many workshop like the customer to bring their own parts, mainly because workshop normally charge 10-30% more for the parts, so extra income for them...unless you are very close with them...

Anyone can help me about my radio. It is not working anymore, I could tune in the station but there is no sound.
The service center said the radio/tuner is out and I have to get new one. I have source around but could not find the correct spec. Mostly kereta potong have the Japanese spec which can't be used.
Btw my Beemer is e39 yr 2000 UK spec, has been driven it for 13 yrs

Similar happened to my e39 radio. Couple of auto accessories repair shops said radio tuner kaput. Finally another shop discovered a loose wire connection at the speaker located at the front left passenger door. You need to find a auto accessory shop who is willing to open up all the door panels and check the wire/connector to the speaker.

In my case, i cant even get the radio to turn on. But the mid functions perfectly.

Managed to change the front upper and lower arms with uro brand parts. Whole set cost rm980 for a pair of upper and lower arms.

Also changed a water hose at the base of the radiator which was pregnant, and a wheel arch cover at rm165 and rm150 respectively. However, workmanship to fix everything came in at rm380.
