My Ride: e60 530i - SOLD!
Default

Yiiiipeeee!
Sent my ride for first service (oil change only) at 15k km.
There is a fix required (some sort of box cover) for AFS sensor alignment by BMW AG.

OK, the exciting part I am holding my breath on based on post by sg folks here on verifying options. I told the CSA to look at the list under my VIN.
Yessss! Dynamic Drive is in the list! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Toto, remember I told you about trashing around and this guy doesn't roll much so i was skeptical about dynamic drive experience is sepang even though my ride not supposed to have them.

however i told the CSA to confirm for me on the real setup if he can see them under the hood. Folks do you think the computerised record is accurate? I went thru the list, things like PDC; AFS; headlight wash, comfort seat; etc etc. they matched.

So for those who got the first batch 530i chances are you have dynamic drive on them! BMWorld.. if you read this? let me know if you can find out yours!

toto.. yes i remembered but i can't confirm if all the 530i then are equipped or there were one or two pieces only.

oh... i have my car in for service just this morning (sorry to confuse you guys) so pick up later today. Will let you know if the fuel consumption improves!
It has been sitting on 6km per liter all the while. 380 km before i have to fill up. Sucks isn't it?

Toto.. do you get the same fuel mileage performance?

BMW530, maybe totoseow can be your tour guide when you are in Singapore and drive you around in his E60 530i.
