Hi everybody,

I'm new to this forum. I just got my BMW 318i 2000 model(recon). This is my 1st time owing a BMW. I don't know where and how much would the maintenance be. I hope to get some advice from you all. Where is the best place to go for a service with a reasonble price ? My mileage is 19450+. When shd my next service be ?

thanks.

heard that the engine oil that AB uses is just normal Shell Helix Ultra fully-synthetic ... not the longlife version. Anyway, even it is "longlife" version, in my opinion, dont wait for 25k kms to do an oil change. Our weather here is not very kind to our beloved UDM engines. When i got my car, the previous owner had just done 16k kms (over a period of 1year 1mth) since the first oil service @ 23k. When i checked the dipstick, there is some sludge. BTW, AB recommends 25k kms or 1year whichever comes first.

At one shop, they charge RM160 for Shell Helix Ultra fully-syn engine oil change, including the oil filter and labour costs. This applies to 318i model only and as for the 6 cyclinders, the cost is RM300. Tell them not to reset the OBC's mileage countdown.

Well i dont mind spending the RM160 to change after clocking 12,500kms since a service at AB. Then when the next 12,500kms is up, it is time to visit AB again.

As long as the oil is fully-syn, whether it is Shell Helix Ultra or Mobil 1, it is fine by me. That RM160 was a promo with Shell Helix only. But hey, look at your engine oil cover.... BMW recommends Castrol.

what happened to your gear shift LED's?
 
Koyak bro - in Park, its ok. Shift to Drive, S, D & P lights up. Move to Reverse, P & D lights up!

Tech says the part is wear and tear, so...

Program 2 keys? What is it for?
 
Remote lock/unlock wasn't working so asked them to have a look at them - general concensus in forum seem to be have to change the whole set of keys - costs almost RM900, I think...

Managed to get them to work again but was warned if need to change batteries, them must re-insert new batteries within 15 secs of taking the old batteries out! Otherwise, will need to reprogramme again. (Mine's not the diamond shaped fob, which has re-chargeable batteries).
