    F10 528i Happily Purchased But Dilemma Everyday

    it's my belief that if it ain't broken, don't fix it. personally, i won't change atf unless i feel the transmission is not smooth. but even then, i would have it checked up by ws first before jumping to the conclusion that it's an atf issue.

    Tyre pressure

    are BMW drivers to blame?

    i am sick of hearing drivers of other makes complaining about what kind of assholes BMW drivers are. often times, the blame should be squarely upon themselves. today, i kept encountering roadhoggers on the expressway. first, it was a comfort taxi which was travelling at only 80-90 km/h on...

    service interval

    Actually it’s not just about the money, but also the inconvenience. I always feel that modern cars should be at least 10k.

    Question on tyres

    my mind is more or less set on getting michelin primacy for my next set of tyres. i asked around for quotations and was quoted for both thai made and europe made versions. the price difference is a whopping $75 per piece. one shop advised that asia version is quieter while europe version has...

    service interval

    my last service interval is set at only 8000km. SA advised me that the interval depends on the condition and usage of the car. nowadays, most cars can last 10000km between servicing. VW can even go as high as 15000km. how can bmw be so chui to need servicing after only 8000km??

    F10's comfort vs driving dynamics

    recently test drove 2 smaller M series models, and the feeling was so exhilarating and liberating! it's a world of difference.

    F10's comfort vs driving dynamics

    Nope. I am referring more to the size and heft of the car. A bigger engine can provide more power, but it does not overcome the feeling of nimbleness (or the lack of it).

    F10's comfort vs driving dynamics

    Personally, I find the F10 is a comfortable car, but not much fun to drive. At times, I even find it unwieldy. No doubt it has the executive presence (if that's your main priority), but for the same money, I would have thought maybe it's better to get a smaller M series car. The M cars made me...

    New M135i vs old M140i

    Thanks, will likely get it from the used car division of PML with at least another 3 years warranty. Anyway, I find the rear legroom of the M140i not as good as new M135i.

    New M135i vs old M140i

    Thanks for sharing. I tested the new M135i and really like its dynamics. But probably also due to it being the first M I tried. I was looking at the M140i and like its specs - RWD, 6 cylinder etc. Will be tempted to get a used M140i if price and condition are good.

    Engine oil used by PML workshop

    Thanks both for your advice. Because PML charges are so high that I thought they use a premium oil.

    U made me want to check under my carpet first thing tomorrow morning, haha. Luckily u are covered by warranty. Is that water from rain, aircon or washing? U may have to find a way to dry it fast, otherwise might develop mold?

    520i vibrate issue

    like what viper warrior said, bmw are supposed to be very stable and planted at high speed, that's one of its main selling point. i rarely go up to 120km/h, but at 110km/h, mine still feels very stable and not the slightest bit of vibration, sometimes i thought i was still at 90km/h. and i don't...
