E90 engine oil leak experience

Re: E90 engine oil leak experience

I had a similar problem on my 2006 e90 - oil leak in engine bay. Mileage approx 100k. Sent to PML, and they quoted about $2k. Got a quote from one of the sponsor workshop here and was quoted $1k+ to replace "all related seals" to stop leak problem.

Not convinced, I brought car to my regular workshop in JB who specialises in BMW's. After diagnosis, mech replaced 2 o-rings at oil filter housing, and 4 more o-rings on the 2 VANOS solenoids. Viola! Oil leak no more and I'm poorer by less than RM270 - which includes my regular servicing. I brought my own oil, oil filter and air filter though....

And I must say that these guys are super pro! They even did a complete engine wash for me - meticulously cleaning EVERY item that has oil stain. Now my engine bay looks almost like new again! Hahaha!

If anyone here are feeling adventurous enough to head north to service your car, PM me for contact. Just to clarify, I'm NOT related to workshop in anyway. Just a happy customer after saving 90% of what the workshops here tried to charge me...


H2575:Can share your JB contact?

Hi...can pm me the address
 
I am shocked. I just changed the oil and filter, came back home and noticed drips of oil maybe 4 drops per 12 hours from under the car. The oil is black. Did they overtighten the nut breaking the seal and why is the oil black after 90 km ?
 
I did not use JB shop. Used Singapore repair shop. Can't say name but still waiting for car today. Want to know what they say
 
Changing of 4 brake disc at Francis there , labour rm180 ? Too ex or market rate? Or I should change more things to share the labour cost?
 
I would prefer official BMW dealers, there are a few in Johore state, PML is just one of several. Wearnes is also a dealer. This was selected by BMW as a top service dealer in JB:
Auto Bavaria
Bangunan RAT Auto
Batu 4 1/2, Jalan Skudai
81200 Johor Bahru
Johor
Also Wearnes in Tebrau
Wearnes Autohaus
3b, Jalan Persiaran Desa Tebrau,
Taman Desa Tebrau,
81100 Johor Bahru, Malaysia.
