[Mercury1]

Wah liu, like take taking time off work just to go down again also abit xianz

 

I should be going Sat around lunch time, let me know if you're around at that time. Then again you might not be in a good mood if you have to go down third time

However J's fixed m3 side skirts instead of Msport for me!

Fml.. Friday still need to go back change..

Now its like midwaist identity crisis. Haha

Thank you various bros for the great insights on BMWs, enabling me to understand the ride a lot better. U guys are awesome.

 

Yeah now after reading the various comments and views of ex BMW owners here makes me a whole lot tempted to get the 5er. Hehe

 

 

 

when you going to get or see car ?

[Tohto]

F30 using either 0w40 or 5w40 engine oil no big diff right?

I need to top up EO almost every 12k km for my ride

At 12k km you should change oil already, Why still top up.

Every service interval is 15 k km or approx base on comp

 

Once I went pml at 13k km (without booking) they told me to come back at 15k km

[Rayoflight]

I change once at 6k liao.. Now have to go back at 19k

 

I tried pennzoil ultra euro 5w30 which i bought from Amazon. Frankly not much diff from pml shell..

 

Next to mod is chip up and change charge pipe and also new shoes.

 

And i will guai guai drive it for 10years

 

Hahahahaha

Wrong grade.

 

It should be 5w-30 with HTHS >=3.5.

That's because Pennzoil belongs to Shell.

hmmm tks..will try out 5w30 with that HTHs level nx round..

[Rayoflight]

Haha ya the shoes 16" nia..

 

Now amazon no free shipping for engine oil liao.. So i will stick to PML shell.

 

Actually im on corporate program with pml.. Free servicing including labour for 3years/60k km for most wear and tear items.

 

1) EO n Oil filter

2) Brakes and Brake pads

 

And a few items which i forgotten

 

If i go on adhoc basis, they charge $$

Super swee, that m bodykit looks so much better than the normal one. J's did a good job on the spraying as well, the color tone is perfect. You change the grills at j's also or did it outside?

 

Have to be careful when walking into Leslie office, poison is everywhere hahaha

E46 is also one of my favourite best car ...miss it so much

[Angcheek]

To be fair to PML, don't forget you are being put in a queue behind all the other customers who are there for oil change, repairs, etc. so while it only takes them maybe 10-15 minutes to drive your car from a parking area to the workshop where they can plug in their diagnostics tool (which BTW is not a handphone app but connected to a computer and is not available in every service bay), the queue is the reason why it takes them 1 day.

Then they should invest more. With their cut throat profit margin and service price. This should not be a problem.

BTW my BMW was bought 2nd hand and out of warranty so never go to PML for service. But my friend brand new X3 CD player not working a few days after collection of car. Wait for almost 3weeks from replacement stock. After replacement of CD player, the GPS screw up. Again have to wait for replacement stock.
