Sir 3-series ba to?E90? or 5-series na pricelist?. O.P ata ung shock absorbers nila .hehe mas ok ng sa labas ka nalang kumuha at sila nalang mag-install ng parts or sa ibang shop nalang ipagawa like European Motors.hehe

I think mura maintenance ng Lexus compared sa BMW/MB/Mini..

Kasi Toyota din yun eh

Like yung maintenance cost ng Lexus ES350, dapat same lang ng Camry kasi basically pareho lang sila. +2M pesos lang sa price tag yung ES350 at mas mabango na Leather Seats

May isang area ang lexus manila na pwede PMS... solo mo ang service tapos naka aircon ka pa with your car.. Don't know kung mga mabilisan service lang yun.. haven't tried it yet..

hi everybody. dito ako sa USA base. just want to share some information about the service here in the US. we owned a 2008 bmw 1 series coupe 5 series wagon, and a 6 series convertible. first of all on our 1 series car there is no problem sa maintenance kasi covered sya ng 4 years or 50k miles maintenance free package ng BMW. so pag time na ako mag pa oil change,brake pad, microfiber aircon filter etc.... dadalhin ko lang sya sa casa and wla akong babayaran for 4 yrs. incase naman matapos yung 4 years i can apply for another 3yrs sa maintenance for $1500 included yung LAbor.. sa parts naman still have 2 years sa parts and labor. bumper to bumper coverage.. from casa. and i bought a 4 years extended warranty from a extended warranty company, so i have until 2016 sa parts and labor of this 1 series car. mas maganda na rin toh atleast worry free ka. i dont know kung meron din extended warranty dyan sa Pinas.

5 series wagon

for oil change and some maintenance issue dalhin ko lang sa pilipino kong kakilala. i just buy a castrol oil and oil filter tapos na just pay him $20.

6 series.
still have a warranty so same ng 1 series ko,

but if you sometime in reading something over the internet marami kang malalaman for sure. minsan pag may problem yung kotse first try ko tumingin sa mga forum. madaming help ka makukuha so pag punta ko sa case alam ko na kung ano gagawin sa kotse ko. sometimes nga mas alam ko pa gagawin kesa sa mekaniko. just telling him what to do. hindi naman kasi lahat alam nila. minsan na papahiya pa. you just need to read something maraming tips dito sa net.

note:: Bmw is a very nice car. best suspension ever. compare to a benz. and also Bmw is more gwapo rather than a benz or a lexus. sporty design. and benz pang matanda lang. bmw for all ages. we owned a porsche but porsche is porsche is a faast and nice car but its not a reliable car for everyday used. suspension is not as good like a bmw. bimmerrrrr!!!!!

I have an E90 320i Exec.. cheaper to maintain than my '09 Kia Carnival (Yes sir!). I agree with you bud, just make sure that you bring it to a reputable "non-bmw-casa" shop. Parts are easy to find and a lot cheaper if you get all the parts that you need in one shipment, one-go.

Guys, you may also try to visit the bmw car club phils' official website. There are 3 or 4 members there who sell parts on a regular basis. Minsan talaga makaka-tsamba ka na mura. Most members there (if not all) are very helpful.

But true. Mas mura ang maintenance ng BMW sa Mercedes Benz

Yes, it's true. But you know what I like about euro cars when it comes to maintaining it? Pagkatapos ng gastos, as long as you are using it regularly * relatively higher RPMs, pagsisilbihan ka na nyan ng maayos. Matampuhin ang mga euro cars pag di ginagamit specially BMWs. Nagiging sipunin. If it says on the owner's manual that you have to drive it *6000 RPM periodically every after x kilometers, then, by all means DO it! Kailangan upakan mo yan paminsan minsan. Otherwise, they could catch a cold like a baby.. easily! Meron ng iilaw-ilaw dyan mamaya-maya!

Porsche 911s' next oil change for example come after 25k kms! How's that for a practical and easy to maintain car?
