Support the site sponsors, they are not as expensive as you would believe!

Try manual driving. If the gear does not shift or drops down after a while even if you manually shift it, then it could be mechatronics issue (solenoids problem).

Normally when you self import, the OMV will be calculated as higher by LTA because they will take the shipping, insurance, paperwork as part of the OMV. AD and PI knows how to 'hide' these fees to lower the OMV. Higher OMV would mean higher taxes and less savings. If you have the time, you...

15 years at PML???!! Dude, most people stopped going to AD after the warranty is over (3 years max per new car) Try the other site sponsors here, better customer service , diagnosis and workmanship. Been there done that. Personally tried BVO and Revol, excellent service, half price of what...

After 3 years of recording, the equipment probably has reached the end of its lifespan. Wow, after 3 years you are still going to PML for servicing? Amazing!

go get it checked at any of the site sponsor then or with PML if still have warranty. It should be an electronic lock and should not be too costly if settled by the site sponsor. Cannot say the same for AD tho. Good luck

Battery ok? any info in the car manual?

You will have to calculate yourself whether the warranty (aka possibility of repairs, touch wood) of 3-5 years is worth the savings of S$80K or not (hmmm...) Added note: My annual maintenance/replacement of wear and tear for my previous out-of-warranty E60 was about S$4-5K on the high side...

Then probably the fan or your thermostat has conked out. Get it checked soon, good luck and cheers.

Another reason could be the brake rotor is out of alignment or worn?

oh yeah, sometimes leak in hoses can only be observed when the engine is running. Try look under the car when running idle with the air con off as well

3L is a lot of missing coolant/water. If there is a leak in the hoses, the loss will be even more, but we can probably rule that out. Try changing the cap of the coolant container. The seal could be worn and the hot water evaporated from there. Another way to self diagnose is to fill up the...

No, its not normal. probably the thermostat is faulty and may not have a sensor to feedback that its faulty. or there could be a choke somewhere. Go to any of the site sponsor to take a quick look.

Try any of the site sponsors here. They are affordable and reliable. I have personally tried BVO and Revol. Cheers

Same message for my previous 2008 E60. Its usually either the solenoid failure or other parts of the mechatronics failure. Better to change the whole unit of mechatronics. If you have hit 250k km, then its advisable to change the torque converter or mechanical gears thingy as well. (...

Best to get those approved for BMW as the engine temp can be quite high. Can get from any of the stockist sponsor here (eg. Eng Soon) or sponsor workshop. Refer to the manual for specifications if you only have time to get from Kiosk. Good luck!

I personally tried Revol Ang Mo Kio to change the valve seals. They are one of the site sponsor, so you can look up for the address and contact info via the pages here. As for charges, it would be better if you can call and negotiate with them directly. Procedure will be something like this...

PML probably can replace the windscreen and then assist in insurance claim for windscreen replacement, with or without warranty. Stone chip is probably due to usage rather than from factory defect so do not trigger the warranty clause. However some insurance company do specify WHERE you can go...

The site sponsors here (BVO is one of them) are equally good and fair priced (compared to PML) Personally I like Revol because it is near my place and both Randy and Gavin gave really good professional advice, not pushy and their grooming service is just below the servicing garage. Saves me...

If you never use them, then it is a problem with leaks somewhere
