Hi guys,

My 135i MP is finalising this month and I wondered if you guys know of what should be done at a recommended time say control arm bushes at 100k km etc...

I just want to make sure I keep my addiction fed with the right kind of upkeep...

Thanks alot,its a 2008 Model on 88k km.

MP has done the HPFP,turbo's,clutch and injectors up to now.

And just btw they charging me 28k to extend for another year

Holy crap 28k!!!will this be for the second motorplan extension?ie: the 7th year of motorplan?

Cos I've also only got about a year left on my plan.need to extend next year!!

How much did it cost to extend your plan the first time?year 6 that is??


Ps: im sure ppl will agree the above things you mentioned are some of the important things to have checked out ie.: hpfp/turbo/injectors/clutch

Also make sure the break discs, pads & brake fluid are checked

Good luck bud:thumbs:

Unfortunately I only bought my baby a few months ago so I have no clue as to how much it costs. I have the money to extend it but I worked on a basis of odds,and recon if the turbos fail I have a backup account to buy upgraded ones if need be so why pay that much for MP. And yes 7th year extension.

I would just like to know are there things like valve adjustments that have to be done on a certain amount of recommended km or such...

BTW. I bought 1l of oil from the dealers,Castrol Magnatec 5w30 for R75...

Mine was R14k in April 2014... why are they charging you so much?

I'm also interested in what other members have to say.

Mine is in for the turbo's to be replaced currently.

Possibly due to the mileage being close to 100 000km I.e. 88 000km, the cost is higher to extend. (28k)
What are the terms do the extension? 1 year or 12 000km? Or maybe 1 year or 20 000km?

The terms are extended for 1year 10 000km...

So that is up to 14 August 2015 or 110 000km

Does the 135i have to get valve adjustments like the m3? I have a clicking noise from the engine. Might be the direct injection...
