Tips para makatipid sa maintenance ng BMW

[Ser Chief]

Mukhang pabagsak na Sportline. Sayang. Malaking kawalan si Rick. Genius pa naman ito pag dating sa BMW. Memorize lahat ng part number at VIN. Marinig lang niya makina mo, alam na niya ang sira. Special talaga ito.

My tip is to have a big wallet! And I am being serious.

The key is to detect the issues before they’ll become real issues aka (timely) preventive maintenance. And as always, if you can’t nor don’t want to fix your car yourself, you gotta pay someone to do it for you.

Teenager pa lang si LJ may talyer na raw cya.



Hehe. Kadalasan overpriced din prices ni Mike sa parts(saka di m alam kung orig), kaya sa Delodour/German motors ako bumibili ng parts. BIMparts, palagi wala yung tinatanong ko na parts pag tumawag ako sa kanila.


Here's an example of BMW parts pricing from Delodour/German motors para sa mag interesado.
Shared album - IT Sorcerer - Google Photos

Example labor costs from experience:
- Change Oil - 500
- Replace water pump / drain and replace coolant / replace serpentine belt/replace alternator pulley - 2000 (home service)
- Replace all rotor disks and breakpads - 1400 (shell)
- Diagnostic scan- 2000(initial, free on succeeding) - Meron free downloadable factory diagnostic software(INPA) you can dload and install on your PC


Euro Shops:
- Frau - San Juan (Magaling si Jing pero mejo pricy)
- Delodour (Pasig- basic maintenance)
- Autoparts Depot (Pasig- Magaling si LJ pero suplado)
- Advanced Autowerke (Manila- Magaling si LJ pero suplado)
- Dipstick auto salon (Marikina-OK so far- Magaling din sa tingin ko si Sonny)
- OC Auto (Marikina - Mabait owner na si Jonas)
- JTV Motorsports (Marikina - medyo pricy maningil si Leonard pag di ka kilala)
- Eurospec Auto Service - Las Pinas
- Motowerkz Inc. - Paranaque
- Precision Auto Works™ - Paranaque


Parts:
- German Motors/Delodour(Pasig -my preferred shop for parts)
- BIMParts (QC- OK din feedback kay Mark)
- Enkat Trading (Evangelista- Minsan china parts daw binebenta ni Phillip)

Online Parts:

Thanks! Big help. Di ko na sinama Delodour di kasi ako ni replyan sa FB dati. Di ko tuloy alam magkano parts. Pero in fairness, mura.

Natawa ako na tingin mo suplado rin si LJ. Hahaha!

Eh sa mga aircon and services like that may alam ka?

Pano diskarte sa Enkat at Delodour? Punta or tawag lang? Mura ba agad price nila? Kasi sila Mike, Sportline, etc. ang taga taga talaga maningil. Kaya sa Bimparts na ko kasi mura agad bigay.

Yung Euro Auto Parts naman sa Banawe akala ko mura pero napaka mahal rin maningil.

Sa OC ko rin plano pa change color or washover. Magkano kaya?

Try mo tawagan mo c Jonas sa OC auto. Mabait kausap yun... see PM sa number niya.

Been looking for a reputable paint shop din sa pasig, so far di ako satisfied sa mga nakita ko. (bruce,caloy gonzales etc..)

Nag inquire ako kay Jing(malupit/sikat na pintor ito dati) sa FRAU mahal, nasa 80k pero quality talaga.Puro high end cars na kc pinipunturahan nia

Sa Delodour, just call 0908 8873352 and ask to be transferred to BMW parts(Luz name nung babae in charge sa bmw parts). Pwede mo padeliver sa bahay kung tamad ka pumunta sa kanila. (meron cla delivery man, pwede din through grab)

Sa Enkat, tawag din lang bago mo puntahan.

Sa delodour ako madalas kc negligible yung price difference compared sa iba pero sure nman na orig parts.

Sa aircon, meron na ako mekaniko dito sa amin. Tingin ko kahit anong reputable aircon shop pede. bili ka lang ng parts na kailangan.

RE:LJ, pinanood ko minsan mag troubleshoot, parang palaging wala sa mood hehe..

Euro divas[emoji14]....Just a coupla weeks ago, worked on 1 DIY. Car started fine, AC wouldn't blow. Radio goes mute, dash lights glowed. Turned engine off, restarted to make sure t'wasn't some fluke gremlin. Same went. Checked the Scangauge hooked. Saw the charging was beyond 17v.....oh My...OVERCHARGING!
Thought crap, the alternator's built-in regulator gave up.
Good thing this German had Denso do some of their alternators. Auto shops do stock this very common Denso part. Cost: Php1.4k. Hobo.
The unit's removal & reinstall took 90% of the job. The regulator swap was breezy.
Germans tend to complicate the simple. I often find myself praying while digging on these stoopid gremlins. Car is now back on its feet, running like new. Sweet sigh of relief....Praise the Good Lord!!!![emoji120]
