For my case, thanks to Gerald, he brought me to his regular workshop for a full inspection. He even call up his regular paint-shop guy to check whether the car had any accident b4. The workshop check all electronic parts using a computer and check the engine casket and under carriage for any leakage and wear&tear. Testdrove for few runs to make sure the engine and GEARBOX in good running condition. Gearbox is common prob for BMW too. Check your milleage, if it's above 150km, test the gear properly. BMW recommend maintenance free for gearbox, meaning nonid to service or change gearbox oil. I'm abit skeptical on all maintenance free gearbox, doesnt sound logical at all. Anyway, no worries, plenty of BMW gearbox expert out there, repair cost is cheaper then sushi car. 3-10k spare depends on your car condition. For my case, I spend about 1.8k for full service, changed casket due to minor leakage, changed the thermostat, changed K&N airfilter, windscreen washer pump, changed the lower arm bush and front breakpad (only slightly expensive then my Honda city!!! and yet ppl says honda maintenance is cheap). And now the car is running like new.However 2 things which I havent do yet, service my gearbox (45km) now... and my side mirror, the adjustable motor koyak dy, can live with it for now using manual adjustment. hehehe</blockquote>
