Any phone number that I try to verbally train will be mis-recognised as a "0" or a "4" at times and my final command would be a "CANCEL" in frustration!

Yeah! I've got the optional car ph. Same problem regarding input for "2". It only recognises English accent. Really frustrating.

Hi Guys

No! The English accent for "2" like what Edlee suggested earlier should sound more like "thieu" or "dieu" (very cantonese) and must be pronounced with all fingers clasped ;no pun intended....hahaha

Hi lani,

Welcome to out 'little' section on the E60 forum. Nice of you to join us. There a couple of recommend workshops. The job might cost you around S$200+.

If no paint has been chipped, then I'd recommend you go see Bronze Carman at Toh Guan Road first to see if he can offer you some advice on removing the surface scratch. If it is a small dent, then try the guys at Capitol carpark. Some of our members here have used them in the past.

Good luck and tell us how it goes.

Yeah! Just one sunday afternoon around town, i spotted at least 10 e60s running around. Saw one fully AC kitted 525i, silver grey around Orchard and the driver is pretty sedate. e60 getting too common here!

Test driven 350Z on saturday, brutal...brutal car. Powerful engine! But
noisy; ratlling and vibration all over the place on the test car. Tan Chong only allows a pathetic test drive along Bt Timah. Requested a more thorough one if possible. At $137k it is a bargain if one can forgo the refinent of UDM.

Going from AFS to non, got me understeering most of the time!

Welcome Lani. You should contact Russo. He'll bring you to Ah Long. Long does a great job if you need a paintjob. Otherwise Lye will do. Lye does dent removals w/out touching your paintwork. You might at the same time want to look at the services that Russo provides.

I myself just got a small knock at my rear door. Pity the location doesn't allow any dent removal job. Looks like I might have to pay Ah Long a visit sometime soon.

thanks for the advice guys ... actually when the scratch happened early this morning, i could not really bare to inspect the damage too closely. on closer inspection in the evening, it was worse than i thought, the scratch is deep and has left some definite dings.

will check out those workshops and hopefully get it sent in tomorrow ... i can't bear to drive the car with the scratched up side. i guess it is embarassing more than anything else.
