I wonder how the repair was done as there must be scars on the cylinder wall.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /> re-sleeve with a new cylinder? or just bore the existing wall to smoothen the scars and put in a bigger size piston ring? re-balance the engine?RM2k is indeed sounds cheap... unless BMW Malaysia is subsidizing the bill..</blockquote>
