They used to have a workshop at Sime Darby house, where their showroom is and it is now been converted to the delivery center.

Trip up North - Anytime
BMW.SG - I really prefer the exclusive E60 meet-ups
Problems with PML - I have given up on these morons. That Henry Lim (PML AFTER SALES MGR) - NEVER EVER TAKE HIS WORD - I have now threatened PML in writing to bring my lawyer into this issue. Will talk about when we meet. This is positively the last car I buy from them.
M5 - Heard someone placed an order already. All hush hush. However, I do caution anyone in Singapore who wants one - THINK TWICE!!! The M5 has such an advanced and sophisticated engine. IS PML CAPABLE OF MAINTAINING THE M5??? Why spend good money on a Company that is full of INCOMPETENT, GOOD FOR NOTHING LIARS???

Guys,
Gonna be in Singapore between 7th and 15th Feb for CNY. Any chance there maybe a E60 meet up then. There wasn't one last time I was here. Only got to meet up with totoseow then.
I suppose during the CNY period you guys will be tied up with family gatherings anyway.
Well let me know if any plans between those dates. I should be checking this forum when I'm at my hotel hopefully.
Edlee, any news on those E60.net logos???

My SA told me quite a few people in Singapore ordered the M5. She wondered how come Singaporeans are so rich. She said not practical to drive M5 in Singapore. I think if the launch control on M5 is activated, the car will shoot from the parking lot into the longkang in no time.

We spoke about a meet-up before the CNY, and there is one this Sunday by BMW-SG. Anyone interested to attend? Or you guys prefer an exclusive one for the E60? I am very curious about the problems Ed had with PML.

By the way, I sent in my ride for about some 8 items to be fixed on Tuesday. I got a e60 520i loaner (<1700km on the odo and smells new) to drive around while mine is at the workshop. The higher profile tyres on the 520i ride less rough compare to the runflats om 18" rim and quieter too...
The steering wheel is heavier because of the software version 13. Not sure i like it though.
totoseow, have you got use to the heavier steering yet? I am thinking either to go for it or not with software rev 13 upgrade.
After driving the 520i for a day I realise how much I have taken the dynamic drive (or ARS) for granted. Hard to give it up now!
List of problem to fix (Jan 25 2005):
1. Delaminated door handle panel (passenger side front); delaminated a/c panel
2. Creaks in back seat; Rattling/Vibration noise around steering/dashboard area
3. Drive side door lock knob loose and rattling
4. Long engine crank
5. Noisy passenger side wiper
6. Steering wheel off center
Will keep you guys posted!
