[QUOTE="caizat, post: 350640, member: 6569"] Salam & Hi everyone, It's been along time since I visited this site. My beamer is 523i 1998 UK spec, bought 2nd hand in 2007 fr Ming Heng. Great to read all yr posting bcos I am looking for any problems same as mine. As a pensioner or Tok Pa as what my grandson called me, money really scarce but the joy of driving this machine is 'Nothing Compares'. Anyway, so far no major problem. I religiously send for normal servicing for oil change etc whenever the indicator shows 1 bar (like 4 to 5 mths, once) and normally it costs me RM500 or slightly less. Murah ke mahal? Anyway, last week while driving thru NKVE the engine slowed down...no power but enough to send me to my regular workshop at Danau Kota, Genting Klang...the workshop says 3rd Valve fail. Mula2 dia kata nak ganti piston je abt RM2k. But when the engine was taken out, the cylinder head on 3rd valve pecah...(he showed me as the engine has been taken out) the remedy is to change the whole engine...from kedai potong model 2001 all cost RM5500 with only 2mths warrantee fr d workshop. Dia kata since mine is Single Vanos, 2001 is the latest...Dah pikir2 I give the wrkshop greenlight to proceed and still there for 3days already. Question, is it necessary for the engine change, is there other solution ? And is that the price to pay?After this, I have to take my car to JPJ and I think that's the hassle altho he said not...Been sending my car to him all this while and I thot he has been reasonable, but now I think he is starting to makan me bit by bit...Love to hear from all...
