Re: What will be the problem if engine lights on and it shows yellow in colour.
Hi bro,
It's like that, buying a used car definitely the wear and tear items you will need to budget some money to replace.
Esp for E90, you have to budget around min 3k esp those close to 100,000 km lots of items to replace.
Engine oil seals, gasket, hoses, valvotronic servo motor, ATF oil pan, ATF oil etc are very common and have to be replace in E90 once the time is up.
When all the oil items are fixed, the water items will be next such as water pump, radiator, heater unit, radiator expansion tank etc.
Best to drive to one of the sponsor workshop, BVO, Boss, R2D etc whom i have patronized myself depending which one nearer to you, let them hook up to the Autologic unit to check your car fault. They will advise you what you need to change.
If you want to save some money, but indeed more hassle, buy your parts from Eng Soon, and do your servicing in JB workshop.
BVO btw the last i spoke to them allow their customer to buy the parts outside and bring to them to install.
Hope this helps and enjoy our E90, even though it's quite a high maintenance vehicle

Got the car on this month.. Mine is E90. It was a very bad experience with the dealer. Somemore go for STA to check before I commit to buy the car from them. Report state got oil sepage and other things as well.. They agree to do it so after that went to their workshop to rectify the problem and who knows this workshop my friend knows the boss.. Guess what!! Behind me tell the workshop not to do it just clean it and tell the client its done.. Can you believe it?? Alot of thing promise but end up i'm the one who came up with the money. Some more dealer verbally say one month warranty after rectify so now the problem comes they say not within the problem issue. So funny. They are from a reputable company some more the boss can still stay bungalow! The boss can stay bungalow becos this is how they do business. This car was in year 06'. Mileage was below 50k when I got the car but who knows problem came on when drive for 1.5km. Although I'm the second owner I guess there will be more problem to come. The exterior condition was well maintain by the first owner but inside the mechanic wasn't too good for me to handle! Good to see from outside but inside terrible like hell especially when you met a terrible dealer with expert lying group from a reputable company!
