Re: Happy 100,000km!!
Recently replaced:
- Vanos solenoid o-rings (x2)
- Oil filter housing 0-ring
- radiator expansion tank (no leaks, but started showing signs of cracking)
To be replaced:
- oil sump gasket (leak)
- valve cover gasket (leak)
- "dip-stick" o-ring?? (leak)
- ATF sump / filter (leak)
- ATF change (expensive!!)
- brake pads + sensors
- brake rotors
for consideration:
- ACS-style front lip
- ACS-style side skirts
- poison, poison, and more poison...

Re: Happy 100,000km!!
Did the first servicing at j4c. Repaired major leak from vacuum pump and top cover gasket. Waiting for next service to do up the rest. How about you? Any good suggestions where to do? Trying to decide whether to change ATF? $$$$
Found quite a few solutions from BMW.sg and trying to DIY some. Rusty connectors giving off alarms. Rear light grounding connector and side mirror connectors.

After this CNY trip to KL, mine also reached 100kkm. Saw a few bros along NS highway as well. This time saw C class open bonet @ road shoulder but not BMW.

Re: Happy 100,000km!!
Same here, just changed valvetronic servo motor, vacuum pump assembly, ATF oil pan and ATF flush, rear brake rotors and pads, valve cover gasket, and numerous hoses.
Pending next replacement:
Oil sump gasket, engine and gear box mounting, control arm bushing.
Also to change shock absorbers soon, as rear absorber has foam covering covering visibly torn and probably EOL soon.
Very expensive 100k servicing.

Re: Happy 100,000km!!
The ATF is $42/litre at j4c x 7 litres for parts and $50 for labour so not cheap at all,
Good news is now tranny runs smoother and no need to change for the next 80k km at normal conditions.

If you can wait a bit, then monitor classifieds here for some bro who may be upgrading their new 318/320i to aftermarket parts (their LCI model should still be able to fit onto ours, mine PFL but cannot confirm until i get it fixed. I got a relatively new set of 4 from a nice bro here, who's trading in his LCI e90 for another Bimmer hehe. Workshop say it's the same so should not be a problem as i waiting to change with some other repairs on the suspension and tranny
If cannot wait, then go buy the part from a local bmw stock list (e.g. i see eng soon coming up many times), so it should still be cheaper to buy your parts and just pay labour at the workshop.
Actually my shocks still works ok, just the rear absorber foam covering (both sides) is torn, and i can see the shiny absorber rods exposed, so might as well change it.
You will probably find another things like the control arm bushing etc that needs to be changed as well so might as well do it all at once.
