Great works, bro :top: for taking the trouble to list out all your repair works since 2007 to share with others :wink:Btw, where did you service your car especially changing ATF oil. Thinking of changing mine.
 
i go to 3 places..... one each at the following places:

bandar sunway, ara damansara & usj
 
i use Ravenol for my engine oil and transmission oil for my GM E46 320i gear box...ATF oil change for 6 litres plus changes to all seals, RM1,150 plus labor...
 
Latest 'damage'... got weird sound from the front tire... found out the right lower arm ball joints loose..
Now changing
1 set lower arm left-right RM600x2
1 set lower arm bush left-right RM350
labor RM80
TOTAL RM1630

Got gearbox leaking... I wonder how much the cost? Will claim warranty instead for this damage

Btw, car is perfect now without a single noise!

Yo johnj,
If you don't mind, the lower arm you've got, is it original BMW product?

Yes I think so cos I specifically told the mech to change ori parts

oh.. thanks for the reply.. damned i changed my OEM lower arm 1 pc for 650 and bush for 350.. so needed to change both L and R = 2000 squeezed already.

i think my rear brake discs are due for change.. recommendation, anyone?
 
Water hose outlet ori (for car comes with winter package it's longer) = RM200

Expansion Tank original = RM270

Left is the old one
SDC15078.jpg


Toyota coolant (suitable for aluminium radiator) = RM20
 
Changed my tail lights unit (the ones attach to the boot only) left and right = RM287each x 2 = RM584 inclusive installation (not sure cheap or not)
OEM Made in Germany



Car wash = RM10 :p

Finally ignition coil 3 & 6 on my M54 failed. I had put in 2 used FOC Bremi to replace the Bosch 3 & 5 about 9 months back, ok for used ones. Morning start up is so much smoother now. Have not got the bill yet but it is less than RM800 for 6 brand new Bosch coils. Feel a little improvement in low end torque, should improve my miserable FC too.
 
M-SPEED (USJ) - 23.7.2010

1. OIL (CASTROL EDGE) + OIL FILTER (MAHLE) + LABOUR = RM220
2. FR BRAKE PADS (BMW OEM - TEXTAR) + LABOUR = RM160

Next

1. Rear Absober + Front Absober + labour = RM1600 (Is it ok with this price??)
2. Lower Arm + labour = RM 1k each (Is it ok with this price?? seems bit expensive to me):stupid:
