E90 parts & maintenance

[ALIAS]

So you only changed the mountings and not the shocks? Any sign of mounting failure?

The shocks were still okay. No leak. There was noise which seem to come from the top end of suspension. Suspected it to be mounting. Independent mechanic also told me mounting always fail way ahead of the shocks. Suspicion confirmed. Luckily ....

Visually, don't think you can tell. I've been complaining to Ingress and Quill and they took the whole suspension out but couldn't figure out. Not sure they're inexperienced, incompetent or just don't wanna replace for me under BSRI.

Should be 90 for non-charcoai filtered OEM cabin filter. Pads is about 250 OEM or 450 original excluding sensors.

Call AB to verify.

Having the same issue. Malaysia is too hot or what. The handle melted. Feel like touching Sugus candy. I think the best way is to wrap it with stitched leather.

Engine mounting (2 pieces) is rather inexpensive (about RM 120/pc). Just give a call to Bavaria Auto or Bomin Auto and check out the price yourself. Ask Mr goggle for contact number.

Hi Mfares. I don't know about 320i, but i bought 325i 2010 last year, on May. I spent more than 10k for the first 6 months to make it perform as what it should be. I never touch the engine, N52 is a solid engine. Btw, I don't call it as a problematic car. A 7 years old car should get more attentions. But once it done, u will drive with smile. Mine now at 80,000km.

Since ur buying 2nd hand, insist on service records/receipts for the car. That wld give u some ideas of the maintenance that has been done, and what to plan for when u got the ride.

Good luck.
