E60 parts & maintenance

[initialM]

Mine also, my mech charge me 8 litles...

Mech will charge 8 ltr since they need to open 2 of 4 ltr bottle mah.
Unless they charge you by ltr. But engine only need 6.5 litre or less and you keep the rest for top up or add for next oil change.
I bought my oil in carton box last time as I change oil every 5k km.

I don't think your friend's car is so problematic. It is part and parcel of owning a 5 years old car where parts/components would gradually be worn out. Expect more worn out parts to be replaced over the next 6 months.

Hi Guys,

Did some maintenance on my E60 525 M-Sport year 2006 last week at Bimmer Auto, Kuantan.

Here is the list of my spending...

2) Oil Filter: RM 60
3) Flushing-oil (Shell): RM 105
4) Engine-oil ( Liqui-Moly Top Tech): RM 420
5) Engine-oil 1-Liter for top-up: RM 60
6) Labour charge: RM 130

Total spending: RM 975

Beemerback, the mileage clocked about 22,300 km when i owns the car from recond car dealer in Ampang area. So, i just take that as my reference. Since then, i'm servicing the car ( replace engine oil and medical check-up ) on every 10,000 km. Cannot considered as my daily 'work-horse' since i am only spending 2 weeks in a month with my car. :top:
