    There are many good workshops in Malaysia (for us would be JB) and because of exchange rates, their price will be reasonable. If don't have trusted ws, Go for those that are public listed coys, or their authorised distributors (yes, they do service SG cars) I myself went to a local ws that is...

    BMW X5 2010 E70- Engine Fault-Reduced power

    This is most unfortunate for you at the moment. The gearbox is controlled by the mechatronics unit so not very sure the mechanic changed the right component for you. My E60 mecha unit cost about under S$4k to replace the other time. I only changed this and not the gearbox and it worked fine...

    BMW X5 2010 E70- Engine Fault-Reduced power

    Have u checked/changed the Mechatronics? (by right should change every 5-7 years to maintain smoothness of gear change) Its never possible to give a proper diagnosis based on text/verbal exchanges as there are many possible reasons for the same problem. Try another workshop to have a second...

    Bmw E60 2007 loosing coolent drastically and no leak identified

    When no pressure loss is detected, then its most likely a very small leak and the coolant is lost only during engine running, or it could be the coolant tank cap Next time you drive for some time and park, do not turn off your engine yet. Open the hood and with a good light source, look around...

    preference vs wallet, its very much an individual's preference Power is definitely a big difference but do you need the surge of power or do you prefer a newer, slightly bigger ride? I would suggest go for a test drive with a lowered expectation of power but rather focus on the refinement of...
