Does the rear bumper lip acts like a diffuser that sucks the car down during high speed? Something like Skyline's veilside kit?

I am going on Monday 7PM. And I have another slot on Tuesday lunch time which most likely can't make it. I heard the structure can only take 100 people at a time, thus better stick to the scheduled time to avoid disappointment. Heard someone said that the angle eye in the E90 is 'floating'.

Hi Tategoi,
How are you?

The Angel eyes on the E90 might be "floating" but remember its only on the E90 with the Bi-Xenon option. Non Xenon E90s do not have the angel eyes. I noticed that before my salesman knew about it.

just came back from the E90. the floating angel is indeed very nice. but everything else is an option on the 525! from dakota sports seats to the i-drive to the shades to xenons...in my opinion...the car is no big deal wifout all these...no big step up from the E46 in the interiors. look wise its sharper looking...i m sure the new magnesium engine will b a great drive....

i wudnt buy it...the 5s definitely a better option for even if u hv to get a smaller engine.

I met Zag whilst I was there today. Its a nice car. Like Toto mentioned, the best feature is the angel eyes. The E90 looks a much better car than the E46. However, don't think I'll ever be buying another 3 again. Might look at the 6 in the future though.

Heard that all 5 and 6 will be equipped with Navi as standard w.e.f. April. PML is now investigating if mine is able to be fitted. There was some initial confusion that my 545 is not fitted with the prep. I'll really be disappointed if its not as I was told previously that all E60s brought into SIN are equipped with this. Very nervous wait.

Sorry, what do you mean about "Navi" ? If yours is able to be fitted, has PML indicated how much will they charge ?

PML is now negotiating with BMW Asia regarding the pricing. Navi is navigation or GPS.

I was told Nav is in DVD (to be retrofitted juz below the front CD player) which most of us do not have . Furthermore the idrive screen would need to be changed to the wide screen version and the whole retrofit would not be economically attractive.

Thus far, I have only seen one E60 with DVD and wide screen idrive on an Olivin 525, it is also the first car to be retrofitted wif bluetooth car phone. I heard the owner is somebosy in Siemens Singapore, so there ain't any presents for guessing which phone he opted for his bluetooth retrofit!
