1. i dun think so. dun bohter tryin tat, eventhough its based on deteriorating reading. this part, shall leave to some oil expert sifus for explanation.

1.black oil can stand until 25000km?leally ah?

This is what BMW recommemded coz it also base on the type of oil u use and the wheather condition, in MY normally i chnage at 10-13k on synthetic oil.

2.When i put my gear to reverse mode,theres a sound....i tot its a reverse sensor...but its not....hw do i want to take off the sound?

This is the the reverse sensor buzzer if you dont like u can take off the buzzer somewhere at the dash, have to find lah

3.if we pull off the rear seat arm rest..there is a long 'sarung' attch.whats that for?

This is the sarong is call ski bag, for the ski set, of some use for golf set, just to ensure it doesnt roll at the boot

may be i am wrong, some sifu may know better..........

If the reverse sensor is the original BMW PDC (I think it stands for Park Distance Control), the reverse sensor buzzer is actually called a "gong" by BMW and is located beneath the dashboard on the driver's side, near the footwell light.
