[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 438797, member: 4527"] TJGOH, sorry to hear your experience and understand your frustration. Welcome to the BMW Club Malaysia's forum. This is a club member funded forum and we always advice those newly registered to head over to our newbie section to give a brief intro of yourself so everyone know who our new friend is. Newbie section: [url]http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=30[/url] My personal understanding of BMW is that its a high precision machinery, tuned to perform at the borderline of technology allows. To achieve this, many more sensors, motors and parts are used in our cars compare to another competitor's machine. Like the saying: "[B]Too many cooks spoil the soup[/B]", so when there's many more parts in the car, chances of something fail is statistically higher, despite new, compare to a say Camry, who don't even have such a thing called Valvetronic Motor. The problem that u faced is rare, but still its easier to "strike" compared to lottery.
