Haven't experienced that yet, do let us know what might have been the cause of that issue.

Will do. Sent my car to M1 Segambut and they still haven't found what has caused this...

That is rather high, I am getting on average around 8.0L/100km and that is pure city driving and getting stuck in traffic jams.

My fc is getting higher too, from the initial 6.4l/100km to the current 7.4L/100km after 3years. I wonder what could be the problem. I also like to ask since I just finished my warranty period, how often should we change our engine oil? Some said 7-8k km, some said ard 10k km. which one to follow?

I change mine around 8000km as I track my car, so the more frequent oil change. Otherwise 10-12000km is fine as well.

I managed to hit 5.8 L / 100 km during my last drive to Bidor, and that was with heavy traffic too.

my e90 320d is 3 yo now. So far so good, no issues at all. But I wonder what items should I start to be alert about? I also haven't changed my battery too. Is it the right time to change now despite it shows no problem still?

Dear all sifu, am considering to buy a 2010 E90 320D, can I know what are the thing to check and what are the maintenance cost to be expected.

Thank you.

 

[Lovehewit]

I just finished my warranty so I'm not able to give you a precise maintenance cost, but from what I'm told, changing the lubricant should be around 600+ included labour fee. I think the most important thing to check is the engine, service records if any (I would advice get the one with proper track of service record, you can even call up the service center to verify), the overall car check which you can do by bring the car to see a trusted mechanic (check if there's any accident before, leakage etc). Hope that helps.

Thanks, I'm worry to get a 2nd hand unit actually but couldn't afford to get a new one yet.

Any other major common problem to the 320D? Is it a worthy purchase?

A standard engine oil change plus filter can be around in the RM500+ range depending on the brand of oil you are using. Some opt for the more expensive oil and some decide to go for the cheaper ones so that is a main factor as the car will use 5L of oil.

Gearbox ATF fluid change would be in the region of RM900+ onwards which also includes the oil pan. That again depends on what ATF fluid is used.

Other things I have changed on the car are quite minor like rear brake light bulb which is RM10, angel eye lightbulb is around RM120 and O-ring seals is RM28.

Get the car inspected at any reputable mechanics or service centre (Quill, Wheelcorp, Wearnes), cost less than RM200 for full inspection. The report should be able to tell of any faults with the car.

Maintenance cost is fairly affordable. My engine oil change cost about RM350-400 (Ravenol 5W-30/40 + original oil filter + labor), every 8k km. ATF is RM55/L (requires 7-8L per change) every 50k km while the oil pan is RM260. Battery DIN88 is about RM400.

Most of the parts you are able to get them cheaper direct from stockist.

Oil filter (original BMW not OEM) - RM81
ATF (ZF Lifeguard6) - RM55/L
AT oil pan, filter + gasket - RM253

Thanks for the tip. My first time there hence used their stuffs.. Would allow if you were to bring your own stuffs? Ie purely labour / service charges?

 

[gendong]

don't just look at what is being paid for if its ur first or second or even third visit. build a relationship with ur mechanic, then u'll see the difference it makes.

 

[mike_cwlee@hotmail.com]

Definitely mate... Just wasn't the usual shop that I go to... Will get frisky with the guy and share some smokes
