is it a 6 Cylinder or 4 Cylinder??

[unikbarna]

So i wanted to book my car in for a 100k service. The lady who assisted me said spark plugs will beed to be changed, however she asked some kinda difficult qn for me:fencelook:....

She said "Sir is your car a Is your car a 6 Cylinder or a 4 Cylinder??"

Not sure what she meant, so i just said 6 :roflol:

Its an e90 320i, now i see on this link http://www.bmwinfo.com/23580.html it says its a 4 cylinder???

So which is which??

this is basic 101, you should know these things, whats even more scary is the service consultant didnt know this.

Agreed, apologies from my side

You should read up about your car, youll be amazed at the technolgy ( sometimes over engineered ) but on the whole its a fabulous vehicle

get to know your ride as rayzor put it so that the wool does not get pulled over your eyes if something needs to be replaced or fixed & they charge you for bullshit that never had to be fixed in the first place - thats to say when the vehicle goes out of m-plan one day.

Even so when something doesnt work according to plan you kind of do your own fault finding before paying big bucks for someone to come out & take a look & it could have been something really minute that would take you 10 secs to do yourself

And that's why most people are here. I don't believe that ANYONE can say they didn't learn something new on this forum.

Not everyone is technical, so don't stress about it. :thumb:

We all have to start somewhere, at least you're willing to learn. There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers (present company excepted.), and you won't be the only one learning, I'm sure. Buy some basic tools and get a manual for the car, learn by feel, just like the wife, but with instructions! :rollsmile::rollsmile: GOOD LUCK TO YOU! :thumbs:
