malvin, what did the mech changed? All the piston rings and seals? The head & block all ok? 13k for that is quite a expensive repair. Now already running good? From my previous experience, after new piston rings fitted, u need to have a run in period, don't drive hard yet.
I had gone through dismantled head & block a few times for my Integra but that's different story, mod for power instead of repair, but its really a long tedious work. Hopefully i won't need to go through for UDM. I just bought mine not long ago, now is SRS problem. According to my previous owner he changed 3 parts already just for the SRS. How i wish there is some way to disable the warning light.

No la.... change whole engine cost me rm 6500....only.... I change many other stuff too.... All rubber pipes and host..... 4 boge shock absorber set including the mounting .... all engine and gearbox mounting.... power steering host and kit changed.... thats why it cost me a bom.... He took 2 weeks to get all this done .... now all it need is a 2 pairs of michellen tyres.....
Just finish 5000 km using Motul Fully Synthetic Oil 10-40w..... Checked dipstick today.... still at Max line.... but color of the oil dark a bit.... viscosity feels the same .... I am planning to change the Oil in another 2000 km if no drop .... Its my own decision but my mechanic suggest every 10 k change oil.... My mechanic Albert Pang was the one who choose the engine for me.... It was a half cut car came from Japan from his friend shop...Dont ever buy a loose engine from any kedai potong.... very very risky bro.... take care.
Bro,
Welcome to bimmer club.I'm also learn a lot from this forum and really appreciate it.My advices are U have to confirm and understand what is the problem is/are to ur ride then make ur decision.eg.vacum pump,the component is hardly damage but sometime it comes with 2 pcs rubber O ring and always cause to oil leak.Normally we only change this worn out O ring and sure less in cost rather than change for the new vacum pump.
Gud luck bro.
