[QUOTE="hclai, post: 372858, member: 17897"] Latest update from my case, i have check it with 3 workshop , all the three confirm need to change the valve seal and also the piston ring. And need to do a top overhaul. Guess what, since there are going to remove the engine cover so i go n have a look, my engine got no sludge, condition superb, thanx to previous owner on every 10k service. since i still got warranty , i bring the car back to the second hand car dealer to claims warranty. Bla bla bla, trying to tell me this is usual lar, whatever la...bla bla bla. Again, got to thanx to this website and also the forumer for contributing information for me so that i wont buy the idea of need to top up engine oil one, this car all like that one even the new 5 series. All valvetronic like that one. And i got him fixed it for me to change the engine valve seal and also the piston ring, in a way which is doing the top overhaul. and also change me a new oil filter and new fully synthetic oil. finally the secondhand car dealer call me, ask me to top up some money, telling me need to cover this n cover that, most important i think his commission got cut, so i dunwan him to do anything funny, i tell him, i will pay him 500 for the labour fees and also considering i wan things to be done perfectly for me. he is happy and i m happy. By the way , the second hand car dealer sent my car to LB smart Auto service. is at cheras there, Big industrial lot, lot of big car, got bimmer, rolls royce , porsh there. i bet they are good. Anyone of you service or repair ur car there before? and i just make friend with the secondhand car dealer service advisor, he told me to replace and valve seal,piston ring and do the engine top overhaul only cost them only 2.5k++. All walk in customer price would be double up, M1 quote me 5k++, just now i ask that guy LB auto, he told me 4K++ close to 5k. i told the service advisor, if next time i wan to repair anything, ask him to arrange for me, i will pay him some arrangement fee. he is ok i will update after i got my car back in next few days and will drive it and update, i ask them to put in 5w 40 fully syn for me. will check my engine oil and update frequently, hope my experience will help other forumer as well.
