[QUOTE="MANAMOHAN, post: 117898, member: 2183"] Hey Lee, Right you are bout the guy under the tree... I'm in the mechanical line myself, so i guess Naidu's still impressive doing what he does with limited resources. My in-laws go there for routine servicing of their cars' air-cond ( i just found out...), they haven't had bad experiences. My car's idling has been ok for more then a month, its great especially with the increased fuel prices. The only drawback is that the car feels like a 1.8 rather than 2.3l. I've removed the iridium plugs (Denso) as my mechanic said 2 were burnt, plus the plugs i had were not for BMW. I've gone back to BMW recommended standard 2 pin plugs. I think the ECU is still temperental, wonder if getting the software re-written or re-programmed will help. Some chaps in KL are re-programming the ECU for more power (which is always a good thing!), but i've had my woes with the car so i'll wait a while. I also tried putting in a new original stock air filter, however, contrary to expections, the old BMC filter still gives better performance. Ciao [/QUOTE]
