Hi Guest,
I bought the OEM 18" style 124 rims but after using it for 2 weeks, I decided to dump them and replace them with the original style 124 rims to get back the BMW drive feel. They look the same but they are actually not. I ended up losing $1,600 for the 4 oem style 124 rims as I gave them away free of charge.

it's the same i guess cause i have never tried the 18" so can't feed back but from the way my car behaves, it's really smooth so no problem (i am getting the breyton spirit's that is why i am selling). looking at about $2k cause only 4 months and mint condition and it's the 7 spoke oem style 124 (i belive there is only one type).

[/quote]Didn't know you dumped the replica (was it the replica you referring to as OEMs?)
How much did you ended up paying for the BMW 124 rims?

Zag, i paid $3380 for the 4 original style 124 rims ($845 per piece). I paid $1600 for the 4 OEM (replica) style 124 rims ($400 per piece). After replacing the 16" style 134 with the OEM style 124, the BMW drive feel as gone. But when I replaced OEM style 124 with original style 124, got back the BMW drive feel. I also read that the replica is not safe on BMW as it bend easily in a collision.

Hi
Anyone going for the Chris Bangle event at Odean Towers this Friday?
CB will be there to talk about the design concepts for the E63/64 (6 series).
I think PML will also use it to present the 630i.

Question: While playing CDs, does the iDrive menu diplay the song title or just the track number at the bottom left corner? Mine displays just the track number.. If this is normal, why didn't BMW design the software to read track titles?

[/quote]Er..not sure, just call up PML I guess. I spoke to the sales person couple of weeks ago about ordering a 630i coz my father-in-law is thinking of getting one, then last week I got the invite in the mail.
Just call up PML, say you're interested in the 6series and I think they'll give you an invite, otherwise just gatecrash!

[/quote]I doubt u can order it as i heard there will be only 4 630ci in Singapore for year 2005. BMW does not produce many 630ci as it is the first year of production. Singapore is only given 5 cars in total. 4 for sales and 1 for test-drive. My dad is lucky enough to be one of the 4 owners of 630ci =)

No problem, can order, I've checked with sales person who says they are currently taking orders for December production, delivery late Feb or early March 05. $280K.
Just tell them you are also considering a Merc CLS350. it's got 4 doors and the 6 only 2, so what are they gonna do about that? They'll probably try and sweeten the deal
