    Engine oil change

    Would like to seek some advice from F10 owners here: 1. what brand of engine oil is most ideal for F10? 2. At what intervals do you change the oil? 3. what is a reasonable cost per engine oil servicing? If this is deemed too sensitive to be in public, you may pm me.

    Autoshield solar film lousy - avoid at all costs!

    Had a negative experience with them. Only installed the front windscreen solar film. Chose their highest grade in-house brand. Installation got problems and had to visit three times to get it rectified. Then 6 months later, can see three spots of discolouration along the top edge. Went back to...

    Inferior kubebond coating (ceramic works)

    I won’t want to be seen endorsing any brand here, but the one which I find good is a Korean brand. Also important is the groomer’s skill in applying it. Try to avoid those in-house brands as you don’t even know where they are sourced from.

    Inferior kubebond coating (ceramic works)

    I have tried a few different brands of coating, and I wish to share here that I am disappointed with kubebond which was applied by ceramic works. In less than a year, can see some water spots on the windscreen coating when I wiped the glass. It can still repel rain, but much less effective...

    F10 528i Oil Temp On Highway

    I will still be somewhat concerned. Got to monitor closely as engine overheating is no joke. But BMWs can be quite quirky in terms of symptoms.

    Bumper colour difference

    thanks for sharing. The paint shop repainted and the second time the match is closer. But I still needed to engage another paint shop to rectify the orange peel issue. Now it’s all resolved. I also got it detailed and coated. But it’s a long tedious journey. paint is like that, not advisable to...

    Lousy glass coating from Klar Details

    Just want to share a recent detailing experience at Klar Details (located at Enterprise Hub). Their detailing package includes glass coating. As I had my glass polished to remove scratches recently, I got them to recoat it for me. They used their inhouse glass coating solution. After that, the...

    Poor paint job by One Garage & Colour Pte Ltd

    In one of my earlier posts, I mentioned that I had 2 panels painted by them, and the colour was not matching to the adjacent panels. One month later, they repainted for me and the colour is more matching, probably around 80%. Still not that good, but at least it’s not so obvious. However, there...

    Orange peel and wet sanding

    Hi guys, does your car’s paint have visible orange peel? I have seen some black Mercedes having rather bad orange peel. If yes, is it on most parts of the car or more pronounced on certain panels? I read that the only way to remove orange peel is by wet sanding. I have one detailer told me...

    Pose as direct seller : BMW 528i

    Mine started to have oil leak issue at the 6th year. Used the opportunity to sort out other issues as well and cost me a whopping 6k. Mine you, my mileage isn’t high by any standard. Recently my expansion tank indicator also failed and have to change the tank as well…not ex but still a cost.

    Bumper colour difference

    workshop commented that my expectation is too high, but i don't think so. although they may have used the correct colour code, but i believe the tinting can be adjusted to better match the adjacent panels. nevertheless, workshop has agreed to rectify by repainting.
