Thanks, that’s useful info. My workshop actually allows to choose from shell, Mobil or castrol

I think you can get it from the site sponsors here too. Just let them know your model and that you want original bm wipers.

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.

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...

how long did the previous parts last before you need to replace them? How did you determine that it was time for replacement?

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.

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...

Hi, do you guys ever replace your wheels’ lug nuts? how to tell if a lug nut is due for replacement? how much does each nut reasonably cost?

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.

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...

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...

Has anyone used silicon wipers? Are they really superior to bmw oem wipers? I am looking at PIAA, but not sure which model to choose.

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...

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...

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.

It would be nice if you can expose the fraudulent parties involved so that we can blacklist them

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.

Please let me know if you think the shade difference is obvious.

haha, this isn't a good platform for selling.

haha, yes, luckily driver side is on the right. but you know what, I do circle around to the left after alighting to look at it…hopefully this habit will stop soon.
