E60 parts & maintenance

:64: huiyo...so expensive the windshield.

He He....go get a new SA.Change at 99950km kenot but change at 110k kms ok.He is technically incompetent.
You car has done approx 60k miles...so that's about an ok mileage to have the atf fluid replaced.If you have done 160k miles then that's another story that you can google where a fluid change at this mileage may damage the gearbox.

Thanks bro..will definitely get another SA

I ask to change my ATF as well since I never change it but was advise that no need to change it now as I miss the scheduled change at 70k km. If I change now may have problem with the car. The service advisor ask me to change at around 110k km. Why is it like that?? It is true?? I don't want my gear to be condemned after that!! Anybody can advise?? The service advisor seem not very technical sound :68: :56: :56: :56: !!!!

bro how's the Nexens....I will be due for a change very soon....

 

[jason.lim]

i have tried nexen before, car become shaky after 10k mileage.. alignment & balancing no issue. recently changed to michellin PS3 RM850/pc - the feeling is aaaaawwwwweeesssooommmeeeee - handling, grip, performance and more important thing no more shaky issue.. i think it is worth to top up rm300 to get the full satisfaction. just sharing my experience here

 

[Herbert]

Previously my ride was on Nexen 8000 and no issues with alignment & balancing. However the only set back was speed above 140 km, car tend to be unstable and had this "floating" feel. Having said that, I personally think it should be worth your money for those non-rempit kakis. Had the Nexen 8000 replaced with Michelin PSS 2 and what a world of difference.

correct, my case is when the speed is above 120km.. like your word "world of difference" :rock:

Hi bro,

So far i have driven it for 2 months after changed and it was okay for me as i dont speed all the time. Alignment and balancing no issues so far. Of course if your budget permits and would like to go for faster speed i suggest bro can go for Herbert and Jason recommendation. Premium tyres will get you to better enjoyment of riding it. Hehe, so far i ride my E60 maxed it 120km/h. In kl hardly can ride fast.

Btw any bro can enlighten me abit. My mechanic said thermostat and water pump need to change and it cost roughly about RM2k plus for all. I tried to search previous cost in changing water pump and thermostat but i guess different model different price for it. Mine is E60 520i. Can i ask any feedback on the price of the parts?
