Guys, what tyre size did your 116 come with.

Mine is 205/50r17 means they fitted the 17x7J wheels which is not the urban line one.

Anybody else had this opportunity? :shakehea:
mine is the 205/50 tyre... better get rid of it!!!
cos it is the weirdest profile u have ever seen.. lolz!
 
Re: Calling all 1 series owners...

Painfull.. Just saw the parallel importer from sg carmart.. the price and the pic of the F20..
The silver/white side panel..the leather seats.. the threading on the steering.. the SUNROOF!!
The rims... makes me regret buying from PML!!!!:wtf:
Moreover, its not as though PML aftersales service is superior.. Only one word to describe...
PAIN....:verysad:
 
Re: Calling all 1 series owners...

I feel like dying now... Can anyone tell me if i wanna change the color of the panel, where can i find? Other than PML of cos.. Coz i think they "kill people, put fire" one..
Other than changing it, I dunno what can make me feel better now.. Spoils my FRIDAY...(Although i spoilt it myself).

Re: Calling all 1 series owners...

hi,

can anyone advise on th engine oil change for 116i? read at some forum that for NEW bmeer, its betta to change the engine oil around 7k 1st.
can any expert kindly advise on that? appreciate!! :)
 
Re: Calling all 1 series owners...

Bro sidder, my SE said the same thing to me (she said 5K) and I followed the advice she gave for my F02, to no detriment. However, after hanging around here a bit, I'm not going to take that chance with my F13. I intend to get my oil changed after the 1st 1000km, to give the oil a chance to wash out the engine filings etc.

Since u gonna do oil change at 1k km, might as well change ATF & rear differential oil together.

sure of not? i thought engine oil is good enough..gosh..sound like doing the full services??
will it be better if were to bring our own engine oil..not being cheap skate..but i reckon better quality control after hearing so many things over at PML servicing
 
Re: Calling all 1 series owners...

If its recommended, shldnt it b free fm PML? Included in the 3 years warranty n servicing right? Pardon me if I'm wrong.

It is old skool good to have maintenance. When engine is new, there will be some metal residue. These metal residue will be picked up by Engine oil.

For the same thought, might as well change out ATF & rear differential.

Factory recommendation is dependant on ur ka. If ka nvr tell u to change, no need change.

But for diehard like me, i will do the 1k & subsequently 8k (if mostly city drive).
 
Re: Calling all 1 series owners...

Re: Calling all 1 series owners...

Same recommendation lah. Most European car is car will tell u when to change.

For me, i will change every 8k. Simple. For city drive, there will be lots of water condensation collected by engine oil. That's bad. Anyway, oil service is like $250 (for IL6). Twice a yr only $500 (not much if u compare to car price).
