[QUOTE="gendong, post: 753414, member: 22402"] 1) The suggestion made by the mechanic is [U]preventive in nature[/U]. Yes there have been a lot of actuators malfunctioning at times when u dont need them to. 5 years is 'lifetime' for BMW. As a preventive maintenance, yes you may change at own cost. If not, you can still drive, until it actually fails, which by then u wont know when. could be tmrw, next month, next couple of years..... or it never will.... your call. 2) RM4,300 is SC price, and i hope its for 2 units. Outside, even from Bavarian Auto shld cost u approx RM1k++/piece (u need 2 - left n right actuators), excluding labour. 3) Yes you may and point no 2 shows its gonna be wayyyy cheaper. Do remember these workshops also cari makan, so there would be some mark-up over the part, but still way cheaper from SC. Choose your mech wisely, also based on ur convenience. Do share your experience bro. [/QUOTE]
