bro, change.

logical thinking tells you to. they claim its lifetime oil, but common sense tells you its not possible.

$3xx for peace of mind VS $8000 if gearbox kaput. you weigh it up.

Agreed, did a ATF change two months back.... :)

I replace my e60 plugs with bosch iridium once i received it. After 10k mileage, i remove plug coils and inspect found that 5 out of 6 was leaked at ceramic side. 1 of them more worst, ceramic was broken. I suspect it was quality issue.

Replace with Denso iridium 6@$150, then and still going strong for 15k mileage already. My workshop mechanic advise me to replacement with correct specs more important than replacement plugs with fancy name and ads which claim can improve fc and power. If u like those thing, install a flame thrower more ideal, guarantee best combustion .

I think changing the spark plugs with a site sponsor would be good in your case ..... If the plugs are fouled during a check then it should be changed - mileage is another thing.

Hi Kyeong,

Agree with your opinion for diff individuals.

I was actually only going there for normal servicing (FOC for 3 oil svs). Was caught when he told me shld change both items.
Learnt my lesson once will do....shld read more from this forum and change parts elsewhere.

oki lah brudder, I also sometimes will kena caught in such situation.

my suggestion is to stick to one workshop, its business. Observe their technical works and build relationship... (oki at least it works for me)

like we all know... its business bro. cheers.
 
Re: What Spark Plugs for E60 525

Hi bros, I need to change all 6 spark plugs + all 6 ignition coils for my e60 525, may I know what a reasonable price should be ( in PML) ? thanks !

... I was quoted almost like 1.5k ! Shocked, even for PML standard. I thought he made a mistake. Can any one who has done similar job share his cost figure ? ( I honestly think the technician I spoke to mis read from his computer? It can't be more than a couple of hundreds )

If u DIY, its only S$300...

PML i dunno...

Go ws like CodeWerx.. they do check ur coil/plugs stats after installing and also can do overall diagnostic... and should be lower cost than PML...
 
Re: What Spark Plugs for E60 525

Thanks . That sounds much more reasonable. And PML price is ridiculous. 2x is still within expectation, 4x is way off.
i will try to contact codewerx...
