Just changed my absorbers today at Chu Seng Auto Repairs Pg.
My car is a E90 2006 325i with 89700km.
Total cost:-
(i) Absorbers- Bilstein B4 ( from Munich Auto Segambut – Mr Siew)
(F) RM350 x 2 = RM700
(R) RM270 x 2 = RM540
Total = RM1240
(ii) Parts OE from Auto Bavaria Pg
Front
31 33 1 094 749 - Protection Tube RM20.83 x 2 = RM41.66
Rear
33 53 6 767 334 - Rubber Buffer RM69.58 x 2 = RM139.16
33 50 6 771 738 - Guide Support/ Strut Support RM45.94 x 2 = RM91.88
33 50 6 771 737 - Strut Support RM57.44 x 2 = RM114.88
Total = RM387.60
(iii) Parts OEM from ChuSeng
Front
31 30 6 775 098 - Absorber Mounting (CPB brand) RM98 x 2 = RM196
31 33 6 771 352 – Damper ( Vaico) RM68 x 2 = RM136
Total = RM332.00
( I purchased Absorber Mounting and Damper from Chu Seng as OE prices were too high ie RM535 pp and RM101 pprespectively)
(iv) Labour @ Chu Seng RM300 (inclusive service tax)
(v) Alignment RM50
Total Cost Summary
Absorbers RM1240
Parts RM720
Labour RM300
Alignment RM50
Total RM2310
AB quoted me a total of RM7323
Parts RM6023
(OE Absorbers RM1329(F) + RM906(R) x 2 = RM4474 + Other OE Parts = RM1549)
Labour RM1300
( Lee Motors/Tian Siang/Wearnes gave me almost similar quotes)
My cost was 1/3 of the official dealer price.
Normally it would be ½ but in this case the official dealer pricing was quite high for absorbers, absorber mounting (F) and labour which totaled RM6844 by itself.
I must say I am very happy with my new absorbers and am very satisfied with the research and enquiries that went in before the purchase. It was quite a learning experience.
Hope u find this info helpful.
