    Pose as direct seller : BMW 528i

    A lot of unscrupulous dealers will adjust the odometer to match the mileage to the age of car, or lesser. I've never trusted the meter when getting pre-owned. Worn Valve seals and other oil leaking seems to be a common problem for beemers. The spare parts for valve seals are very cheap, just...

    Bumper colour difference

    You could try that, but what about the right fender? Would it bother you then? Or how about the left door matching the left fender? There could be issues. I would not recommend respraying too many times as it will darker the overall shade with every additional coat, unless maybe they add a...

    Bumper colour difference

    Tolerance level is very much boils down to personal preference. It would be too tedious to remove the existing paint. The labour probably will cost the same as a new raw bumper. There are 2 factors playing against you at the moment 1. Bumper - new paint, while the rest of car - old paint...

    Bumper colour difference

    Been in the printing industry for 20 over years. It is difficult to get back the same colour tone, especially if there are variation like ink resin source, different printing machines, current weather/temperature. All these factors are already different when compared to the factory in...

    730 G11 suspension

    Most probably its the air suspension, better to change both. Did you have any messages from the iDrive screen? Any of the site sponsor will be capable of changing the suspension. To maintain warranty or if $$ not an issue, go back MA or PML, probably about S$10K+ for a pair. It would prob be...

    F10 528i mods and maintenance (Pics)

    I would have thought removing the dash + the trims would involve close to S$1k, unless u are changing the compressor, then probably the labour cost will be discounted. Just cleaning with the dash removed and all (as per your pics) for S$470 sounds quite ok. Thanks for sharing!

    Advice on tyre rotation

    Tyre rotation (regardless of direction or non) is to cater for even wear & tear for all 4 tyres. Front wheel and rear wheel drive cars will wear the front and rear tyres differently, and thus the reason to rotate regularly to prolong the tyre life and even wearness for safe braking

    Poor service from Performance Motors

    Probably mentioned in Straits Times and such but I have not come across such clauses in the buyer/seller agreement documents during the purchase. This is the legal document that can hold the seller to honour their warranty. Maybe I did not notice the fine prints/terms. Anyone still have their...

    Poor service from Performance Motors

    was there EVER a black & white document detailing that if the vehicle has NOT been back to the dealership's workshop, the warranty will be void? Not just Performance, but Cycle & Carriage, Wearnes etc? I definitely don't remember any of my past cars have these written down in the terms &...

    used car warranty by reputable workshop

    Usually the warranty will require that the car be regularly serviced with genuine parts (with receipts to proof, probably) but it SHOULD NOT be tied to a particular workshop (by law, I believe). The moment it is tuned, modded with aftermarket performance parts etc, will usually render the...

    Engine oil top up

    Monitor a bit more the next few weeks and look out at the engine bay. If oil leaks on engine block or on floor, then its gasket, pipes etc. If no trace, then its valve seals. Read up the topics in forum, very common for beemers
