German garage

y not go to bomin auto in jln Ipoh, I do all my servicing & repairs over there.
price is quite reasonable, no hanky panky & no need to worry bout parts leadtime as they have a workshop & spare part shop together side by side.

He used to be on KTM reserved land on Road 2, then got chased away. Last I know was at Jalan Penchala, but lately I google he is on Jalan Othman now, same road as the wet market...

Im from Seremban , I sent to the German garage at Seremban 2, becoz it's major repair , they sent it to their HQ, German garage in bangi suntrack, but I checked the parts at few places after I posted in zerotohundred, I was told the parts are reasonable, I guess car parts nowdays are more expensive due to weakening ringgit and gst

Yes , just got back the grand total is rm9k , I got some opinion the price for the parts is according to the market price, the things I'm doing is top overhaul with timing chain replacement, changing flywheel oil seal and torque converter oil seal ( any car also the labour charge will cost a bomb for repairing this), changing all the power steering hoses, and with all the oils replaced, yes I know it's an old car, but it's a BMW, I always wanted e46 and I'm driving with pride, without scratching my head for monthly payment and maintenance, well that's my style....hehehe

There is a shop in Seremban which i know only handle european car.
If not mistaken the guy is an ex Volvo tech.
The shop is somewhere behind Volvo sc Seremban.
If i manage to get the number i will pm u.
Maybe you can have a quote from him.

Your oil seals cost a bomb,so does the simple valve cover gasket.

My mech just told me there are leaks through my valve cover gasket. How much should it be since 300 in this bill is a bomb. Thanks. Last I check online, some state 300+, some 170+

How about the Spark plug tube O-rings too.

Probably original is RM300 and aftermarket is RM170. Aftermarket if brand is not good, scare the oil will start to leak very fast, meaning cannot last long...

I've worked on Renault F4p and Merc W124 engine before,the parts will be more expensive compared to jap car but BMW really at another level of expensive.
From experience,for valve cover or oil sump gasket it is safe to go for alternative part as not many lousy manufacturer will make part for expensive car due to low demand.
For oil seal,by allean go for oem part.
Above all,if budget not an issue then go for all OE part.

I've tried a replacement oil seal on my dpo gearbox before and it only lasted 1 day before atf came pouring out.
Change to OE part and problem solved.
