Re: Re; 3 yr pml warranty
For my car since under warranty, i still go back to PML for servicing and repairs. I always bring my own engine oil because it is a lot cheaper than using theirs. By the way, i saw someone mentioning that Expo is having a Carrefour Mobil One engine oil promo. Go take a look.
Dont forget to check past posts, there are alot of things to change while car is still under warranty. Change them before warranty expires. (Do some warming up, some table banging is necessary).

Re: Re; 3 yr pml warranty
technically, you must go back to pml for servicing. otherwise, warranty is 'risk' voided.
in between, you can do servicing outside (ie: change oil and oil filter) at bvo especially if you prefer to change oil every 5k-7.5k before service light is up
when obc service light is up, go back to pml

Re: Re; 3 yr pml warranty
wah so serious arh? haha.. i was driving a jap car before this bimmer. i have to say the service is great compared to jap cars. Not sure abt the parts though.. Have to KIV.. btw, some mentioned that they bring their own oil for servicing. How much difference will it cost to bring your own vs theirs?? Also, what are the different types of servicing? how often does the service light come on a yr and how many time must the car go for servicing? For jap cars, the only servicing is the 10,000km. How come conti car so troublesome?

Re: Re; 3 yr pml warranty
It's difficult to determine what to change before warranty ends. It depends on your luck.if you are lucky, you might get parts that last you very long or the parts spoilt just before your warranty ends. If your parts spolit after your warranty, good luck. Pml won't change working parts before warranty ends. Hope it clarifies.
