Battery ran flat after late dinner in PJ so no choice but called up BMW Mobile Assist as AAM took too long to arrive.

Replaced with original BMW battery = RM1500.00 c/w 2 years warranty

What is the difference between BMW Original battery & other brand batteries; which the price differ so much?

Frankly I have no idea too. But given the situation I was in, I didn't have any alternative as it was late night.

Hi Desmond how are you?

 

[desbimmer]

Am fine bro. Thanks for asking.

Btw, forgot to share. As I hardly use my car, I start it up every once in a few days. I noticed one day that my 'check service engine' light came on and would not go away. Upon checking the OBC, it read 'NO faults' so i suspected that it was because my battery was weak. I drove it around my block a few days but it would still not go away until a buddy told me that the battery was not getting charged whilst traveling around my housing area. So I decided to go a little further and after 4 days, the lights did not come on again. So take heed guys who don't use your car for long periods of time - battery will get weak and funny lights will come up BUT don't panic! Run the car about more frequently and all will be well!

That's a reasonable price they charged. How long did they take to change all those? Where exactly in PJ is BlueGreen if you don't mind me asking,thanks.

I was there for about 3 hours plus. I exited Subang toll from NKVE, went to Federal Highway towards KL. Before the LDP bridge, these guys are on your left, parallel to the Highway.
The guy I dealt with was Mickhel. Quite a frank, happy-go-lucky but very knowledgeable.His number is 0163116118.
Hope this helps

Hi BloodDiamond, Were the parts supplied by Bluegreen or you purchased it yourself?

They supplied. They gave me warranty on the parts, saying any manufacturing defects on the parts are covered by them for the next 6 months. As i see now that their prices are reasonable, I'll rather have them supplying the parts. I did get to check on the parts before they installed as I was there for the whole time.
