[QUOTE="ck318ci, post: 613331, member: 1970"] Good thread, While I was driving to Damansara yesterday, I noticed there is quite a lot of smoke coming from the Engine bay when stopping down and strong smell of burnt charcoal. Pulled over at one of the BMW specialist shops near Puchong ( Before hitting LDP) Noted there was some oil stain in the peripheral of the cylinder block, Suspecting gasket failure. Mom had said there are some oil stain in the car porch for some time and we put that down to the VW as the car was recently serviced at Ingress and deemed to be in good health. I realised this is a common fault for BMW at 4-5 years of age and particulaly common in the N46 engine. So I proceeded with the repair. Final outcome 5 Litre of Shell engine oil: RM 240 Gasket repair kit with o rings and other seals: RM 505 Workmanship: RM 120 total RM 865. Also noted rear brake pads are worn Quoted RM 230 Brake sensor 70 Workmanship 40 is this reasonable for the above repair? P/S: Ingress auto states brake pads were in good health just 2 months back and now the mechanic says is cutting in to the disc soon. [/QUOTE]
