BMW Maintenance

[jonzjitsu]

I called my dealer regarding this




I asked if there's a charge for the exhaust inspection but I forgot to ask about the vehicle inspection, The Service Adviser gave an estimate of 2-4k. How much did it cost you guys for this?

I'm sure there was a bmw maintenance thread here somewhere but I've tried searching many times and it just won't appear. TIA!

Had an E90 318i which I bought new for my wife, at 400+kms the car suddenly didn't start all of a sudden, it was later diagnosed as malfunctioning ignition system which was fixed under warranty, then at 2,000km the electronics of the steering column gave up the ghost, again fixed under warranty but took more than a month to be fixed, by this time warranty was just about to expire, we decided that its time to sell at a big loss, sold it 6 months later, for me its bye bye BMW, never again.

I had an E36 316i before and from what I remember, it wasn't so bad. I have better experience with Mercedes, the worst we had was my dad's old W210 E240 but still, its much better than our E90.

Kami naman sir sa e240 ni erpats tirik ng tirik... meron na nga syang nakuha na specialist ng benz in the end binenta nalang din... I don't remember the details since I was a kid then haha.

Malamang crankshaft position sensor ang sira nyan, ours used to just stall when it has warmed up enough, later on it was discovered that the CPS was the culprit.

I've been dreaming about getting a Benz or BMW. But aside from budget restrictions, my boss, who lives in Forbes, has been trying to dissuade me from getting one because of expensive maintenance cost. His cars Nissan, Hyundai and Chev. Now this is another point to consider.

Yeah the maintenance of a BMW is just like maintaining an Asian vehicle ... equivalent to about 10 Asian vehicles and there's still change.

Dyn ako dati nag pa service kaso dami nila recommend na papalitan kya bumalik ako sa Autohaus originally nagpaservice malayo Lang kasi ang analysis nila wala problema yung parts.

Me nakita ko dati European motors and auto sport in pasong tamo ext no idea in their workmanship.

Ah... sana from personal experience yung feedback sir mahirap na malintikan yung sasakyan haha

[jonzjitsu]

OT: BTW regarding chevy, some of their casas require pms every 5T kms pms and change oil full synthetic+ engine flush, imagine if you use your vehicle a lot 5T kms is just easy to achieve even under a month of back and forth driving... for me this is absurd they're making a business out for the maintenance.

[Leo_Arz]

^Sa case ko namAn yung shift indicator Hindi na alis sa P mode exp na warranty for 6-8 mos ata gave me goodwill warranty. Good thing mahal pala yun hehe

Sa case nyo sir kahit anu car na nangyayari yan masakit Lang sa BMW pa inabot
