Did diagnostics, found 1 fault with transmission, something about clutch locking up. Since my car already racked up 123K km, he said service manual says gear-box should be overhauled - RM7,500. Told him, OOOOKKKKK... maybe if I can get bank loan will do it.... hahah We took the car for a test drive. Final diagnosis:1. Overhaul gear-box - will not do this now, but will service i.e. tukar minyak and filters - rough estimate - minyak $560 (8 litre x $70), filter set ($200-300)2. Over 125K, need to check fuel pump and float - will do later perhaps, just gassed up the car, so cannot do it that day.3. Check exzos, catalytic converter might be clogged up, hence loss of power (takdak back force) and makan minyak lebih... Took the car immediately to an exzos shop in Kelana Jaya... found out that something already broken in muffler - not catalytic but some other internal parts... pomen said ori BMW could set me off $5-6k, so decided to go fo a local universal one (very quick decision... hahah), all in cost me $560. Now the car runs better... :top:4.Slight vibration - need to change engine front mounting - estimate $400ish... will do later.</blockquote>
