Oh and mine veers toward the sky and PML told me it's because mine is an ///M. Pure Genius! Hahaha...

I dun have an M, but certain bodypart of mine veers toward the sky too, especially when excited.

What shit solution is that? You just need an alignment unless your tires have been flat spotted. Take it outside to a good alignment shop. I highly recommend Kian Teong at Sin Ming Autocare basement floor. Look for Mike. He will be able to solve it for you if your tires are fine.

Did PML tell you the reason is because your car is PI so you are Parallely Incited?

I agree. Kian Tiong is really good in alignment.. I had my car done there too and the team solved my wobbling ride..

No, but some engineers told me that it was because the national anthem starts to play......

Re: Another Ridiculous Experience @ PML

As a new certified BMW Premium Selection owner, I must say I am disappointed by the quality of the people who work in PML. Do they love the brand? Do they love cars? And do they know what they are talking about? For instance, during routine servicing, I mentioned that my car is drifting left if I let go of the steering wheel. The response; "because SG it rains all the time, all SG roads slope left towards the drains. Hence, the car veers left". *ahem*

KNS!!!! HAHAHA... This is freaking funny!!! In all my years of driving, the funniest "mechanic reasoning"! I must quote this to everyone I know.

I believe that when Japan or Korean or any other car manufactures (other than BMW) exports their cars to Singapore, they purposely already counter-veer their vehicles to the right, so that when we let go of the steering wheel (of a now-BMW car), it stays straight!

Re: Another Ridiculous Experience @ PML

Re: Another Ridiculous Experience @ PML

b) Do you have aftermarket rims?

Re: Another Ridiculous Experience @ PML

As I said, if I buy another BMW in future, it will be a PI BMW. While there are a few good guys at PML, most of them suck big time.

Re: Another Ridiculous Experience @ PML

Sorry was away and didn't follow up. I called and I don't know whether it's because I lost connection or the phone was hung up... But there I was, speaking to a hung up line. I was shocked. From a customer perspective, I really hope it's due to a bad connection and the line was dropped.

Re: Another Ridiculous Experience @ PML

See what I mean. That was exactly what I said.
Its best you write in the papers if you can. But then again since BMW Asia is viewing this thread probably they might just do something. But that's only because someones complaining. The problem at root still will not be solved for other customers because its just how everything is run.

singapore is a small market, they are probably scrambling now to meet the demands in china, so they wont bother with us too much for a long while...
