Heard that BMW Asia will be pulling the plug on authorised BMW dealers. All cars sold will only be from PML - they don't want Ah Bengs reepresenting the marque. Man! Tian Seng and Mr Tanglin must be pissed. All this means that the Beemers are going to cost more, henceforth. Sales of Beemers > Mercs for the first time in Asia - the PML sales force are now celebrating the demise of the dealers.
Sometimes I wonder if the sales people are pally with each other, they are after all going for the same pie

Hello Super and SuperBoss
I think 520 is abit underpower leh...525 will be just right. Ofcos 530 the best
But hor...remember the resale. 520 is always most sought of...cos cheaper...everybody wants 525/530...but ex leh.
I paid another 4200 for 17" 138 plus run-flats tyres. Trade in my ugly 16"
Giddy no have leh. My wife, kid and maid always seat behind...no complaint so far. I went to KL last month and the drive was great.
I drove a C200 komp before i changed to e60. I can say that komp engine is really out of the league. Very noisy. E60 so smooth...and performance is so good. You will like the active steering...esp during parking... <_<
But you must know hor...merc is more luxurious and comfort. I always agree with that. You look at the merc dash and styling....is more elegant and subtle. For passenger...the ride is good. very comfortable. For beemer, it is a driver's car. Driver loves it. and e60, walau...the eagle eye so fierce...you tink uncle and towkay want it??? also very fat and with 17 or 18 sports rim...damn fierce...and all ah pek merc owner becomes younger again??? this will break the tradition. So i tink e60 only for ppl with younger heart and ofcos...age betw 25-45...when i grow older...who knows..i might want to move slower.

Hi Superboss, do not listen to what the crap merc salesperson told you about feeling giddy sitting at the back of the E60. When I went to test drive the E200, the fat and ugly saleswoman spent the whole time talking bad about the E60 when I told her I would make a decision on E200 or E60 after testing driving both. I think the some of the merc sale persons are down right unprofessional and uncouth. The BMW sales persons are more refined and cultured. My wife has motion sickness but she never complaint she felt giddy sitting at the back of my E60 520i.

Was at PML's car delivery center today to check out the truffle brown interior on a Olivine 520i. Have decided to order this interior colour with the black sapphire exterior. I guess with the moonroof, it won't look too dark.
Saw what looked like a pretty high spec-ed black sapphire, auburn interior 530i with moonroof and sports steering wheel, could this be your car 530i? Funny thing is that it's wearing those yucky 520i 16inchers. I guess it's awaiting fitting of 18inch 124s. Apparently the delivery prep guys have been very busy with the Asian Aerospace cars last few days.
