Yes .... this was in The Star yesterday:

Free BMW 5 and 6 Series car inspections for glitch

PETALING JAYA: Owners of BMW 5 and 6 Series built between 2003 and 2010 have been advised to send in their vehicles for inspection.

This follows a report on Monday that BMW AG was recalling about 1.3 million cars for repairs worldwide due to a possible fault with the battery cable cover in the boot.

BMW Group Malaysia managing director Geoffrey Briscoe said no accident or injury had been reported due to the technical fault in Malaysia or abroad.

“Being proactive in this circumstance as well as for our customers’ peace of mind, we welcome our customers to visit any of our 15 authorised BMW service centres nationwide to get their vehicles inspected.

“The process will not take longer than 30 minutes and at no cost to the customer,” he said yesterday.

Briscoe said those who bought the 5 and 6 series models built within that period through unauthorised or “grey” importers should also have their vehicles checked immediately at an authorised BMW service centre.

According to a Reuters report quoting BMW AG on Monday, the battery cable cover inside the boot of these vehicles may be incorrectly mounted in some cases.

“This can result in the electrical system malfunctioning, the vehicle failing to start and, in some cases, to charring or fire,” the company said.

BMW said markets affected by the recall include the United States, Germany, Britain and China.

Fewer than 1% of the cars BMW has so far inspected for the issue have exhibited the problem, a BMW spokesman said.

For more information, call BMW Voice at 1 800 88 3000.

If you're worried then please quickly go and buy those pre-owned E90's from authorized distributors. They are clearing these cars off and 2011 E90 325's can go as low as RM200K, good luck

I like your car bro very clean. Wax frequently? Where do you service ur car and how much is the cost? If not mistaken regular service should be around rm800-1200 for 15km interval right?

Im eye-ing on the new f30 320d. But probably waiting for better specs. I think you should upgrade to f10! kinda sexay laugh.gif

One of my family member is planning on buying the f30 320d too, he already booked for the CBU unit, but after long consideration he finally decided to wait for CKD instead, due to better specs and maybe a bit cheaper price.

That is a better choice, I am currently driving the E90 320d m sport version and after comparing the f30 320d, the spec difference is so huge that I am advising everyone to wait for the better specced version to come out. Even my salesman told me that the current F30 has way too basic specs.

But CBU built quality is better. Just the downside the spec way too basic. I saw one alpina white f30 320d in kuching 2 days ago. But the colour is not appealing as white e90. But damn the headlight is attractive in its own way just like the audis.

Any idea why modern lines arent brought in? I like modern line for its beige interior and clean design.

I still young so prefer f30 brows.gif
F30 335 vs 328i actually not much difference i guess. I saw the comparision in youtube videos on the acceleration from 0-150km/h. Only few seconds difference so i think not worth the extra price tag eh. New 6series has serious look too. One fella in bmwclubmalaysia bought it and it is realy gorgeous!

I'm actually quite okay with the CBU f30 320d spec, but one thing i cannot stand are those cheap looking 17" rims shakehead.gif

Really the difference is that huge ? What stuffs from the e90 320d that werent in the f30 320d ? only navigation right ? hmm.gif

Yeah that's the reason why he wants CBU in the first place, quality is better. In my house there's one CKD e90 320i, always cause problem, one time the rear passenger power window wont go back up...really? power window problem in BMW ? like Proton only laugh.gif

but i guess he's willing to forgo that for better specs..

not sure about modern line, but since CBU they didnt bring in any modern lines, so i assuming they wont bring any for CKD too.
