[QUOTE="planta, post: 249218, member: 7799"] Hi Astroboy Cost varies between rm2k to rm6k. Price of parts icreased many times this year alone and may likely to increase again in 2008...So if you are buying a 100k km E46, get prepared to spend like rm10k for major service on engine and transmission depending on how many parts need to be changed. As for the assurance of 25k mileage oil change does not cause sludge and massive dirt in the engine or due to additive and bla bla bla.. I have no technical data to prove otherwise. I only see the impact to the engines. But then again, these guys are the ones putting stickers on the transmission oil pan that BMW ATF is lifetime warranty but how many BMW owners had to change the ATF after 100k km due to ATF issue. So, who would I trust, the logic or the technical advice like the one given on the ATF? I would rather change my engine oil every 10k then take a risk on 25k km oil change. planta [/QUOTE]
