[QUOTE="kaiserrand, post: 547204, member: 24085"] You can try: 1. Bomin Auto @ Jalan Ipoh. Ask for John Lai. 2. M1 @ Segambut. Ask for Ah Meng. Expect to be charged around RM50-RM100 (not more) for them to visually inspect the car. Ask for diagnostics as well. Make sure they check: - engine (sludge, abnormal vibration) - gearbox (move the car from N or P into Reverse and hear if there is a THUD sound - most common thing for used BMs. Not serious problem though, but can pscho the used salesman a bit la...) - suspension (absorber leaking, worn arm bushings) - body (ask the mechs to look for signs of major accident damage at the engine bay, boot etc. Small bumps can be negligible la... If you want more detailed inspection you can also try AB @ Segambut but they are pricey (I think around RM200) and you need to make an appointment before hand. Oh and these places are slightly further into KL but just off Jalan Kuching. INSIST that they let you bring to a workshop. If they don't just walk away. And ask a friend who has a Beemer (same model preferably) to come along with you. You can ask me to come along also la but must belanja teh tarik hahahaha. Hope this helps and all the best in hunting your UDM. :D [/QUOTE]
