[QUOTE="JTD, post: 545508, member: 24276"] I have collected my CBU UK e39 530i black premium sport and went for the following parts : 1st Stop - M1 Segambut Replaced 2 front absorbers and mounting accessories for RM 1860 Replaced missing white side signal indicator - whole set for RM 105 Conclusion, fast and attentive but price is very high - cut throat aka cut neck 2nd Stop - BM World, Bandar Tun Razak Left side mirror cover dislocated by someone (culprit or passerbys placed the cover loosely back on to the exposed metal mirror, thankfully) Black glue on 4 legs and taped for for glue setting overnight - FOC ! said is a goodwill service, pleasantly surprised me. Conclusion, nice and pleasant chats with the young man there, gained insight on the extremes of SC and other good infos. Amazing knowhow. 3rd Stop - HKL Motor works, Taman Segar Perdana, Cheras ( nearby my house ) Lemforder Front Lower Arm 2 pcs x 400 = RM 800 Bilstein Long Shaft Coupling 1pcs = RM 185 Engine mounting 2 pcs x 170 = RM 340 Gearbox mounting 2 pcs x 65 = RM 135 DOT4 all brakes oil flushing/siphon = Rm 32 Intake air filter = RM 48 The checks were performed on my request that the driving wasnt smooth over bumps as i feel the car felt slided sideways. Any other items which the mechanic (boss) suggested to change and hence the above items were ordered and replaced. I have also indicated to him another problem, my steptronic gearshifts from D to S without problems but will be stuck from S to D. Only after a few more tries, the gear will engage D.

He tried it for 10minutes and modified a metal sheet as a retainer to make the shift back from S to D. He did it in 15 minutes. Later i found from the above picture it is a missing item 2 and 3.
