yup kw is good. but i warn u...anything other than m-suspension will be at least 30mm lower. sure kenna humps. unless u get coilovers where u can adjust..but they can go for 10k.

personally i hv eibach in previous car. its very flat on the high speed turns. un bother me the firmness. nvr been impressed wif ACS...always been unhappy wif the pml prices...also more poser than performance based.

Don't know any. All I know are not BM based. And price-wise for BM, it's always some 80% more expensive. I just checked their coilovers out and for e60 they offer only Var2 & Var3 (USD2.2 - 2.4K; would simply be some 4-5K here; just my guess based on other models); no Var1 which is not adjustable.

Sorry guys, as much as I would like to meet up on the 1st, I will be out of town once again.. Anyhow, it's good to see the numbers slowly climbing..

Tate, trouble you with the decals again?

Cheers!

Thats the spirit guys. We've already doubled our usual attendance. Lets have a few more just in case a small percentage can't make it.

Ride is in for software upgrade!
Saw 523i in showroom with the new engine already. Standards are Xenon; PDC but not active steering!??.. Duh!

BTW for the coming meet up, may I suggest that for later part of the day we adjourn to a location where we can take pictures of all the cars with singapore skyscrapper as the back drop.
It will be cool! What you guys think?
Any suggestion!?

That'll really be cool. Can you imagine a convoy of E60s? BMW should really be proud of us; in fact so proud that they should, out of goodwill, offer us group discounts of up to 10% off our future purchases. (if only)

Yeah, a huge gathering of E60s at Marina South before the whole skyline changes with the inclusionof the Intergrated Resort. The next time we or the future group gather there again after the completion, they'll probably be in the facelifted E60. What a thought!!!
