thinking of fitting the BMW umbrella w holder in my car. has anyone done that b4? how much would it cost? hope i can fix it myself.....

totoseow

the umbrella is 198...n fitting it costs another 25 bucks....resisted for quite awhile...but having seen iceman's car i think i m gonna do it....

tested the E320 3x b4 i signed on the E60....i tell u its a piece of shit. gearbox has a mind of its own...its more quiet and all..but i believe all who owns E60s want to drive a REAL car...

the adaptive xenons costs 1500+ as an option...when i optioned it.

Was at the A6 launch last sunday taking a look at the quattro 3.2 litre. Haven't test driven yet. may be this week. For the interior, i give to Audi, just the cup holder itslef will put the bimmer to shame. The finishing is very refine at first impression!
As for the MMI, lots of button surrounding the knob...kinda defeat the purpose, when one spent couple of hours with a car and at that instance have to learn to figure out the i-drive, you can see pretty well why everyone who writes the review finds it challenging.

If you pick up a copy of "wheel" on 530i review, the chap sticks a pic what looks to me like a diesel engine and call it the 3.0 liter inline 6.

wow thats kinda expensive for an umbrella. what so special abt it?

nothing probably....just real cool to have a BMW unbrella attached below your rear seats.

In fact lots of stuff on Bimmers may not be that useful, but are just cool to have eg. adaptive xenons, toto says they're not much use, but I would love to have them on my ride

Toto, I agree....I think MBs are generally rubbish unless you're talking about the SL, CL, S or AMG models.

The E-klass isn't worth thinking about in anything but E500 upwards, E55 would be best. I wouldn't mind a E55 matched with that new 7 speed autobox. And at least in the E500, you get airmatic suspension as standard.

eggz, we are al talking like this because we can afford the E60. To some people, they would be damn happy if they can drive the Suzuki Liana.

true kiasu but i still agree w toto n eggz that MBs are crap...

ed520, my wife wanted me to buy MB because she said I whole life only drive BMW and never try other cars. But I insisted on E60 because I think idrive is very cool.
