**chay** · December 11th, 2006 12:20 AM

hello guys, baguhan lang po ako dito, hinge po ako tulong with a 1995 bmw 316i ng tatay ko.

[1]gusto ko po sana ipafull check-up ung kotse, san po pwede and mga magkano pag check up lang, i mean mga shop ba meron na bayad pag check palang? or un ata ung inspection 1 at 2, pero mga magkano po un?

[2]and meron po ba surplus parts ng bmw dito sa metro manila, san po kaya meron? kelangan ko po kasi nung circular plastic cover nung hi-beam at low beam, tinanggal ko na ung luma kasi sunog at yellowish na.. eto po pics nun lugar nun.. san po kaya ko makakakuha?

[3]meron ba nakukuhanan ng remote key? kasi nakuha ng dad ko ung car at 1 susi lang nakuha nya, wala ung susi na my remote for keyless entry.. other than casa, meron po ba ako ibang makukuhanan nun? ung sa casa kasi sabi oorder pa daw and around P12k+

ung presyo, so tanung ko po kung meron outside casa? wala na po kasi way na makuha pa ung original remote keys, dahil nawala ata nung may-ari dati.. or recommended po ba na pakabitan ng ibang keyless entry mechanism w/c cost only around P2k+ compared sa susi sa casa na P12k+...?

pasensya po madame, salamat in advance to any replies..

1. Try Autovec at cubao or European Motors/ basics Libis.

Autovec is at E rodriguez near cubao. if you see the burger machine stand at your right side yun na yun autovec mismo. Autovec is managed by a German owner. had my E36 clutch serviced there before ok yung experience ko.

For parts try mo sa European Motors/ Basics. its at the back of Floor Center at Libis near Honda Pasig.

2. Yung circular na cover you mentioned wag mo itapon yun. it's actually made of glass. lilinisin lang yun it would look good as new. when i had my angel eyes installed at megaart auto sinabay na linis ng headlights. akala ko din wala na pagasa yung pagkayellow nya i was even thinking of getting new headlights pero nung nalinisan good as new na ulit:

3 I think casa lang talaga available yung key. may transponder chip pa kase sa loob nun sa germany pa ioorder yun

thanks po sa reply sir.. ask ko lang mga how much po inabot sa autovec? pag dinala ko po ba ung car dun tapos pafull check-up mga how much po dapat ko dalin pera?

and mga magkano po ung inspection 1 at 2 outside casa? para makapag-save nako pera, hehehe...

Haven't tried Inspection I or II at Autovec yet. yung clutch slave cylinder pinagawa ko noon. To give you an idea sa Autohaus Libis ngayon may Promo 8k+ for Inspection I and 15k+ for Inspection II.

Tawagan mo na lang Autovec at these numbers to give you a quoatation:
725-6914, 726-2978. Look for Werner Reimer, 0920-9268100.
Autovec's address is 479-A E. Rodriguez Sr. Ave., Cubao, Q.C.
(info from this thread: http://tsikot.yehey.com/forums/showt...t=31533&page=3 )

Kung plastic yung headlights mo most probably yung E36 nyo baka yung imported na USDM version. Sa Euro version glass yung headlights. pwede ka bumili ng part na yun sa EUropean Motors/ Basics Libis and sa Autovec.

or you can upgrade to projector headlights for 15k a pair meron sa megaart: http://megaartauto.com.ph/

ah i see, siguro nga.. try ko humanap ng glass version nung cover.. or better yet, projector headlights nalang siguro.. i have seen a pair in ebay, euro projector wid ccfl angel eyes, tanung ko po na as long as for E36, it will definitely fit diba? walang difference sa headlight unit ung 316,318,320,etc. tama po ba? just making sure po..

last question po, pag sinabing inspection 1 and 2, literal na inspection lang po un? or kasama mga parts na papalitan? meaning po ung package sa autohaus libis na P8k or P15k for example, kasama po ung mga papalitan parts or hinde po, tipong fluids,etc..?

btw, thanks for the very informative reply sir..

Mahal magpa inspect sa CASA, other euro car repair shops charge less. If i remember correctly sa Top Gear in Aurora Blvd near Nestle house, mga 2k lang inspection 1 and inspection 2 is 4k-5k. Hindi kasa parts yun, it's all inspection of everything, engine, shocks, electrical, AC, and whatever. Even BaSICS doesn't charge that much.

Yun susi mahal talaga yun, and you have to know your VIN number. Buti when I got my car it had 3 keys although wala din yun keyless, di mo naman kailangan talaga ng keyless remote e since naka power lock naman. Yun problem mo is yun extra key since you cannot have that duplicated here. Although you will never be able to lock yourself out naman so ok lang, wag lang mawawala susi mo.

Kung malapit ka sa roosevelt, within the premises of ALEX Restoration meron euro parts na 2nd hand available dun. And kung papagawa mo headlights mo, hanapin mo si Bong, magaling yun.

**StraightSix** · December 17th, 2006 01:07 PM

Tama ka ... basta E36 headlight, pareho lang headlight ng 316, 318, etc. Siguraduhin mo lang na pang-sedan/saloon, coupe o touring/wagon, dahil iba ang headlight ng convertible at compact (hatch).

AFAIK lahat ng Euro headlights, projector ang main beam at glass ang lens cover ... pero walang oem angel eyes ang E36, aftermarket lahat. If you want it to "look" oem, you may want to choose the yellow ones. But most people go for CCFL's (cold cathode flourescent lamp) which emit white light. If you want to save money, you can just buy the halo kit and install it yourself ... or save more by making your own halo using LED bulbs. There's a thread here in tsikot on how to do it. Mas mahina nga lang ang liwanag ng LED kumpara sa CCFL.

Pagkaka-intindi ko sa post mo nag-iisang duplicate key ang hawak mo ngayon. Lahat ng E36 may central locking, pero hindi lahat may immobilizer (kung saan gamit ang transponder ng susi), remote or alarm. Check mo na lang kung may transponder nga yang susi mo.

Regarding Insp I/II, heed everybody's advice and stay away from casa's

**chay** · December 18th, 2006 12:23 PM

Ah ok, atleast I can have inspection 1 & 2 either in basics or top gear, and plano ko just to get a list of everything that needs replacement, hanap parts then papakabit or palit ko nalang sa mechanic na kilala ko, what do you think guys? problema lang ata resetting tools?

Yup, isang key lang hawak ko and di siya ung remote key. Problem ko kasi kaya gusto ko remote key or keyless entry is for turning on and off the alarm.. Medyo hassle kasi pag nagaalarm then i have to go to the car just to switch it off. How do I know when I have an E36 that has a remote receiver?

thanks guys for helping me out..

Sir, ask ko lang ano pong service magagawa kaya nila sa headlights ko? And meron po kaya kayo nakita mga clear corners, side markers dun sa 2nd hand euro parts? or red/white tail lights?

Ung Top Gear po, ok parin po ba service nila? Meron po kasi thread na sinasabing naging pangit na daw po ata service dun.. Thanks!
