  1. Engine cooling thermostat (not AC) placed between radiator and engine in one of hose to open or close the circulation as and when needed. The job of this thermostat is to keep radiator water separate from engine water. To continue cooling radiator water until the engine water gets hot. Once engine water reaches 76 degree, thermostat open and send cold water to engine, which has been cooled by radiator and receives engine hot water for further cooling and keeping it ready for next cycle. In US specs cars, they use thermostat that open and close at 82 or 86 degree which is bit too much for GCC hotter climate.
  2. Yes that shock absorber thingy known as boot damper as well, it will cost around 300 for a pair from sharjah shops.
  3. First and foremost is the heating issue, if your car is recent import then remove the thermostat and change to GCC spec BMW. If you bought it from someone, i am sure he must have already done this in the past. Secondly US specs cars dealers wont touch, as its slightly different from GCC specs and they dont have full service manuals for US cars, so you are of your own there.
  4. You can drive down to Sharjah: BMW Road, there you will see plenty of shops selling OEM at discounted prices and also aftermarket headlights. Mark is pretty big so better check couple of shops in pricing and then make a purchase, as all shops sells at their own pricing and accepts little bargaining as well.
  5. First and the foremost welcome to BMW community, secondly please dont compare Accord with 520i. You can never get that umph, punch, driving pleasure, control, respect, style, design, safety, confidence in any Japanese car as you can get in any BMW. You are simply comparing a wrong league. I am not saying as im also BMW fan or im speaking in BMW community, but truly i mean it as i realized this over time. Buying used car here in Dubai, my personal choice would be buying car ONLY with full service history with AGMC or with any other competent workshop like Tony edwards or Munich motor. You can give a call to these both BMW specialist and get an idea on service cost before you take a dive. Good luck and go for Bimmer anyday.
  6. Z4 is quiet good convertible with good pricing options.
  7. Guys keep the welcome thread clean and start discussion in separate topics.
  8. sharjah industrial area is the best place to fix cars.
  9. check our dubizzle and you can get the price. it depends on the age of the car how it is maintained and how many kilometers.
  10. its seems like a good idea i think lest keep encouraging this post so that more members can join it.
  11. i have been using the Eppco coolant for the past 12 years never had any problem.
  12. good thread. good forum. feel free to come and go and have some fun and brag about my car
  13. you car has to be checked it can be that the fuel is not getting burnt or leaking in any case it is damaging the car in a big way. BMW cars use a lot of fuel agreed but not like what you have said. this is my input. but you have the final call.
