preve is famous for fan motor rosak. mine the sockets was melted at 160k KM. so the fan wasnt running optimally. temp did not increase but if the fan stops working, hangus la engine. changed the whole set at COSE around 700.

also my Preve CFE from 1st batch (year 2012). After the 8th year, lotsa small issues cropping up. and every repair will cost 300-700. I spent around 5k in 1 year to repair all those small2 stuff. this not taking into account the turbo and CVT replacement which should last until 120k KM and anything after that is bonus time.

So finally decided to cut my losses and sell the car. Abit sad that i repaired alot of stuff in COSE but cant afford to continuously repair the car. Its a steady car but once its old, maintenance is pricey.

the entry cost to bmw is high..so u expect high maintenance. for preve, u buy it for 72k but at the 8th year your car is only valued at 15-20k. your repairs will cost 1k everytime. not worth it la to repair. If your turbo or CVT dies, RIP to the car.

fair point.. but reason i bought the preve was due to affordability. It became expensive towards the end of life. and i wouldnt have been able to afford repairing the CVT/Turbo. sold it and now waiting for Honda City to arrive.

My car kept dying when at standstill. Especially when approaching traffic light. Even the SC is trying and testing every part without guarantee it’s the solution. Can’t afford to keep repairing la. And the gearbox I suspect was beginning to show signs of age. Repairing the gearbox and turbo will again cost a bomb.

No. It’s stock headlamp when I picked up my car at the showroom.
