BMW F30 320i pop by for an impromptu Steering Rack Repair Kit change. After sorting the rack, we found out that his front and rear rotors were WAY WAY below the minimum!

Car was fully PML serviced but i guess they missed this very important item. The front brake pads were forced to work beyond its limit, hence you could see a slight bend on the backing of the pad. The bend forces the edge to grind against the rotor. Which is very visible from far as the edge become rough and is no longer shiny.

Brakes are very important. We should all pay more attention to it!

BMW F10 520i came by for a very major repair.
As u can see from the pictures, the chain guide has already broke into pieces. We very surprise by the condition of it. All we can say is if it did not receive the require replacement... Likely the damage will be even for expensive!

All good now!

BMW F10 520i with 200,000KM clocked. We gave extra attentionwhen we saw that mileage.

If you have not replaced your chain guides, then likely u will see those broken pieces when the oil sump is removed. We spotted a big missing piece when we open up the oil filler cap. Spot it?

We would like to thank the owner for her trust and support. It is her first visit and she trusted our advices. We went great length to explain to her so she could understand why immediate attention were needed. At the end, she gave 100% trust and support! Thank you!

from what I read, only models before certain year are prone to chain guide issues.
 
BMW F10 528i was towed in after the car stalled while driving. Car could not be started after stalling.

We took it step by step and found that the oil pump failed causing the chain driving the oil pump to break.
We were able to get the car into perfect health just in time for CNY. Next visit will be to fix the remaining items for another 10 years!

Thank you for the support and trust!
