E90 renewed COE Owners Corner

I calculated if I scrap, would have probably receive about $25k so if QPQ is at $45k, it will make a total of $70k.
$7k depre for the next 10 years! Cheap ah!

Cheap depre definitely but gotta factor increase in road tax (+10% every year), more repairs (probably), and can't change car for next 3-5 years without taking a hit haha

Re: E90 renewed COE Owners Corner

Heya all, my first post here. This thread will come in handy, thanks for starting it!

Maybe we should all gather and kopi and discuss the pros and cons and how much $$ it'll involve and whether it'll be penny pound wise to extend coe! Would like to hear what you all E90 owners think too. Mine is due in May, and am also toying with the idea of another 10 years.

Re: E90 renewed COE Owners Corner

my e90 gave me 9.6 km/l

I've been getting 7+km/L with about 50% city 50% HW driving.
Been noticing a very sulphuric exhaust, I guess my fuel is running too rich.
Checked O2 sensor using OBD and readings are within specs.
Anyone with similar experience or advice?
Thanks.

Hi Guys,

I would like to set up this thread so that all those who have renewed their beloved e90 coe can gather here and share tips, problems and resources.

I have just changed my front and rear shocks and all the rubber mountings etc. For those who are keen to change to boge shocks (stiffer ride compared to the original shock), here are the parts number and price as of dec 2015:

3352 6 768 544 Boge absorber mounting x 2 piece $25 = $50

Those who are anal about changing everything can also change
3353 6 764 420 Spring Pad RR.(B) which is $8 x 2 piece but the workmanship is $140 as they need to remove different parts of the car.

I have also changed my thermostat housing, water pump, top hose and bleeding hose because the water pump is leaking. I used two bottles of BMW anti freeze coolant too.

10893 KWP 1151 7 511 221 water pump $70
1151 7 572 859 BMW thermostat housing $60
1712 7 531 768 BMW Top Hose $95
1712 7 565 092 BMW Vent hose w/ plastic pipe $45
1151 7 542 128 BMW connector 1 piece $22
1153 7 572 159 BMW Water hose 1 piece $32
8351 2 355290 BMW coolant anti-freeze 1.5l x 2 bottles $12 = $24

Decided to change my bonnet and boot damper. (You can DIY)

966-9ZC Stabilus 5123 7 060 550 Bonnet damper x 2 pieces x $20 = $40
034-249 Stabilus 5124 7 250 308 Lid damper x 2 pieces x $26 = $52

Replaced my front and rear brake back to the original BMW brake set completely.

3411 6 854 997 BMW brake disc F x 2 piece $95 = $190
3411 6 769951 BMW brake pad F(T4190) 1 set $115
212034 GST 3435 6 789 439 brake sensor F $12
34219 808 172 BMW brake pad RR w/clip 1 set $95
212035 GST 3435 6 789 445 brake sensor RR 1 piece $12
3421 6 855 002 BMW brake disc RR x 2 piece $80 =$160

Computerised wheel alignment after the shocks set in. $70


The workshop also did a car wash, vacuum and engine bay wash for free after the works has been completed. A big thumbs up from me. (Please note that I am not affiliated with the workshop, this is also my first experience with this workshop after using the well known BMW shops for a long time.) Please continue to use your own workshop.

To be continued....

Hope you guys can share your e90 revamp experience too.

Which workshop is this. Can PM me also? Thanks!

Hello, can PM me the workshop as well?

I go into JB for service unless last min break down. Mine expiring Nov-2018, outstanding problems:

1. Gearbox 1-2 and 2-1 slight jerky.
2. Pedal brake seems not working when just start engine, after 1-2 mins everything seems fine.
3. Coolant yesterday low alarm, top up and monitor.
4. Guess more to come.

My mileage 180K, dunno should I renew or not.

Hi,

Just bought a E90. COE expiring in 2020. Can advise how can I join the the whatsapp group for E90?

Having some issue on this model whereby when it hit 80km/h - 100km/h can feel some vibration. Dunno what is the cause of it. Went for wheels balancing and rotation but nil help.

Need expect here for some advice.

1. Gearbox 1-2 and 2-1 slight jerky.
- try ATF change first, but likely need new solenoids as well. Change before your clutch plates wear out

2. Pedal brake seems not working when just start engine, after 1-2 mins everything seems fine.
- vacuum leak somewhere, usual suspect is seal at vacuum pump

3. Coolant yesterday low alarm, top up and monitor.
- cheap fix hope your expansion tank has a leak (topup to min level not max), or inspect all your coiling pipes, front radiator etc for leaks

4. Guess more to come.

My mileage 180K, dunno should I renew or not.

Mounting just changed not long ago.

I can feel a very mild vibration from the body. Just dunno exact where is it come from but definitely not from the steering wheel.

Just wonder anyone encounter this before.
