Re: F30 Owner: Does your steering produces such sound?
Only know it is electric steering and BMW call it variable sport steering... no idea of the component, in fact quite shock to see it being hydraulic - if it's really hydraullic, why so many KPKB bmw change to electric?

I don't see a problem before I send in to change the torn leather, but only on collection, I was told some problems on the thigh support... So what's ur take?
anyway, the side plastic panel suffered deep deep scratches.. :thumbdown:... Of course I complain!

Re: F30 Owner: Does your steering produces such sound?
I just sent in today.
Mechanic confirm that the sound ain't normal. Now, they say they need to check if it's steering rack or just those bushings...
I keep my fingers crossed. Hopefully they can get it sorted out if not i really wanna kpkb.

I have the "Coolant level too low" warning, which is to do with the coolant sensor.
Got it sorted out. Seems like now it's good.
This time round i choose to use the famous German Castrol. Goddamn, its really good. My engine temp rarely go pass 70~80C.
Engine seems more responsive. Previously was using the Pennzoil Ultra (Euro), a lot of good reviews etc... but tried and i personally don't think it is really that good....

The Castrol oil wasn't from PML, it was from MXtrading. Can google abt German Castrol, its good stuff.
I believe the shock was having problem before i up those lowering springs. But then again, i might be wrong... which is why i'm thinking abt coilovers now.

Re: F30 Owner: Does your steering produces such sound?
i didn't realize they started carrying castrol! BTW, am i right to say this is the BMW LL-04 spec'd oil? If so, I would be a little wary of using it with singapore gasoline. Sulphur control levels are far less restrictive here than the US. And LL-04 is not recommended for use in the US (more suitable for europe). You can run shorter oil changes, but then you risk deposits esp on DI engines (i assume yours is the N20 engine?). It's almost lose-lose with LL04 oil + SG gasoline.
in Q4 may be more feasible once new regulation deadlines kick in. PM me if you'd like more info.

Re: F30 Owner: Does your steering produces such sound?
I just put it in, yesterday. I feel that it should be good.
Previously the Pennzoil Ultra was good starting.. but it sort of broke down somewhere @ 4000km.
Engine felt sluggish and a big noisy.
Now GC, engine is quiet and importantly it's responsive.
