E60 for Singaporeans

Hi Totoseow, Zag, Olivin and all,
Been a long while since I last visited. Spent couple of hours reading those posts. Wah, you all so angry with pml ah....so many comments recently?
Anyway, collected my ride back from pml yesterday after my 1st service and ACS kit installation, I realise that my software was upgraded. I did not do anything after receiving the letter about the software issue months back. So, I was expected those stupid alert message you guys were talking about. I knew the software was changed because Board Info was changed to OBC. BUT BUT.....no Alert message leh!!! So I went back today to ask, CSA told me new software. No more Alert message but need to take about 2-3 minutes before the screen is turned on.
Therefore I guess the problem is solved with the new software, by blacken the screen over the message. When it turn on finally, is the menu screen. Happy leh....pml is working I think...
Now, my ride is kitted to what I have been wanting.
Zag, you solve your steering wheel alignment issue? I have and want to remedy.
Cheers!

Any of you guys know what the hell is going on in PML? so many heads rolled recently including marketing director? anything to do with the corruption investigation involving BMW executives?
Just saw the E60 Hong Kong Sub-Forum thread trying to beat this kiasu Singaporean E60 thread. By the way, Singapore always competing with Hong Kong in many things. lol

Ed520, roger that! I am going to call PML to make noise why the PDC is not here yet. I paid for it almost a month ago.

Hi BMWorld,
Welcome back. What's keeping? For a moment, I was thinking you might have got rid of yr E60 and upgraded to 6er or a 7er. And we missed you for our 2nd meet. Good to have you back.
Wah, PML is finally doing customer some service! And the new s/w (any idea which version) now comes without the idiotic ACCEPT message? But in place, we need to wait 2-3 minutes b4 the idrive screen works? This is changing the soup and not changing the medicine man! And it is also not acceptable!!
I actually talked with CSA today abt sending mine for 1st oil svc n he did not mention anything abt skipping this message.
BMWorld, what's yr mileage like prior to 1st service? I always envy yr idea of rejecting r/f tires and selling the smaller stock tires to change to those of yr choice (19 inch rims and some good tires i remember). I'm hating the r/f as they are very harsh and noisy (at abt 13,000 km). Guess I would live wif it till I can't stand it, then head to PML to buy jack, wrench and a spare b4 changing all to non-r/f.

OMFG I just read the message they sent you Olivin, apparently the after sales manager, Bernhard Schneider, lives just 4 houses away in my estate! He's practically my neighbour. I've been wondering for a long time myself whether he works for PML/BMW Asia(I always see different Bimmers in his parking lot, 530i, 645CiC, Mini S)
I know his name cuz he stickers it on his mailbox...
Damn it sucks that the warning message is gonna be in all models. bah.
