    My F10 reaching Renewing COE liao... Mileage 235,000km, Should I renew?

    New/2nd hand 5 series will set you back at least S$18k+/- per year vs annual maintenance cost = your choice as its your pocket note that the above only applies if the 'new' ride is less than 5 years, otherwise the maintenance stuff are going to add in. At 235k mileage, you will need to...

    Hit & Run

    I wonder what will happen if the other party did not report to their motor insurer and/or police? This will cause the innocent party the loss of repair themselves as they cannot claim 3rd party The culprit can choose to repair at their own cost, but will our TP be effective to charge the...

    Hit & Run

    never had an outcome.. report police and case closed because cannot find evidence. Report just for statistics. Do repair out of your own pocket. if possible, try to get opposite vehicle in-car camera video footage, but with this circuit breaker, most likely the in-car cam battery all flat...

    Engine Oil temperature too high?

    Really need to monitor your coolant level. Top up to max, and after driving you check its below half, then there is definitely some leak somewhere. If it takes weeks to drop to half, its normal, but only after 1 day sounds suspicious. Hope your mechanic had checked it while the engine is...

    Fuel Transmission

    sometimes the counter gets reset and the first few days if a lot of highway driving, it will show very low consumption and vice versa very high consumption if many city driving. It is over time then will become realistic as the law of average kick in. Heavy foot also play a major part. just...

    Should i extend my 3 year warranty to 5 years?

    This will be dependent on the type of extended warranty that they are providing for the 2 years. Does it include wear and tear items including battery? If yes, then it is worth it. Does it include 2-3 more normal servicing schedules FOC? You can consider - PML servicing about S$400-500 per...

    are BMW drivers to blame?

    It is always rude to signal your intention with flashing headlights, unless you are indicating to another party from the another direction to go first, regardless of the make of your car. Tailgating not only is dangerous, is also considered rude and aggressive behaviour. Remember, we can only...

    Engine oil used by PML workshop

    Remember to change at least every 10K for synthetic oil and oil filter as well. If your warranty is over or if you don't really bother, try the other site sponsors here, all are equally capable as PML and should be at a fraction of the cost.

    Engine oil used by PML workshop

    I supposed they used the BMW generic oil type, where the packaging also had BMW words and logo. Saw it in Eng Soon before. Can use other brand as long as it meets the specifications

    520i vibrate issue

    call up any stockist from the site sponsor and ask. No harm in calling, no obligation. Just add an estimate figure for labour cost to it. If you call workshop, they also cannot give you a direct answer because they also need to call the stockist to find out the cost of the spare parts. Front...
