I am too lazy to log in. I am happy that I can post. No need to log it. This is the beauty and success factor of this Forum unlike Roadfly which one has to log in.

Junior, I just called PML about the PDC retrofitt. They told me it is on the way and it has not been aborted. You may want to check with your sales rep why you cannot have PDC ordered as an option, especially when yours supposed to be factory fitted.

I am basically a car enthusiast who is aiming to maximise performance on a budget (since cars here are so bloody expensive!). I also enjoy leaving owners of more powerful cars astonished and in my rear view mirror if they try to take me on in a race. To date, I've found certain modifications that can improve the the performace of the E60 remarkably. The 530 can be tuned to match an M5.

Toto did you read this? He has answer to your questions.
Storm... what you had in mind when you wrote "530 to match M5"? You are not talking about putting $20~30K to soup them up right?.. otherwise i just go for 545i.. oii shoot no no no ... 645ci better. Arghh... it never ends!

Edlee, you banker? wah so many bankers one!

Junior, I see. Ex-stock does not come with PDC; mine ex-stock as well. You have to place an order booking for the PDC to be brought in and installed after you collected your car.

Ed520, there is a retro for xenon but I think it is very expensive - about $4K. For that price, I do not need xenon. PDC is useful because I kept bumping into walls. Also, I am scared I will reverse into someone behind the car without seeing the person as the boot is very high. Right now, I always have to open the driver door to peer out when I reverse and sometimes, get down the car to judge the distance when I parallel park. So, PDC is a necessity to me. All Toyota Corollas come with PDC nowadays. So, I wonder what is so big deal about PDC on E60 that we have to pay so much and wait so long to retrofit.

totoseow, noticed that you very active in the BMW.sg forum recently. I like the M sport package but I think it is going to cost at least S$20k. But M sport package does not come with quad-exhaust unlike Hamann. Hamann's front bumper not very nice.
