Hi robo,
Welcome to our 'humble' forum. Nice to have more users dropping by our Singapore corner. Anyways, 14.5 is pretty high I must say. I'm getting 10.7-11 (City/Expressway) with my 15.x. Waiting to hear more feedback from everyone else before taking the plunge. So far, I've been getting occasional problems with the window 'Anti-Trap' error message coming up for my front passenger side window. The fix is usually done by winding down all windows, turning off engine and then re-starting the vehicle. Sorta' like 'RESTARTING WINDOWS!!!!'. Thanks god I'm a MAC user!
Hoping to meet all of you on the 1st if my schedule allows. I've not been around for a while now. Got to feed the family lah!?

Regarding the fuel consumption, the most important is when you go to the pump. Pump about the same as before?
I messed about with a hidden menu and I had to reset it. Now the on-board-computer is very optimistics. With full tank and when I reached KL some 350km later, it showed I could still go on for another 700-800km, and the average was 15km/L.

Hi folks,
Need feedback on this ICE setup for my ride..
PPI Pre-amp
Focal 100V2 Front Comp + Cadence 2x461 Rear Speakers
True Tech T4.65 P/Amp 4 Channel
InfinityBassLink
Anyone care to comment on this setup? Current stock speakers is too weak for my liking..
Cheers,
Mod

Test drove the 730Li today. If anyone else is going there watch your step. Its pretty dark inside. These are what I observed.
1) Power and responsiveness of the new valvetronic double vanos straight 6 (N52) was much better compared to the current 730i (M54TU).
2) I drive screen looks better (higher res) and more lively colours
3) Didn't like the original 'flower' rim on the 730Li
4) Floating lens look much better
5) Rear lights look much more complete now
6) CD cartridge has a fresher shape
7) Headlight switch and aircon dials are now chromed coated at the sides
8) Ride was bumpy probably due to over inflation of tyres.
9) Xenons standard except for phone. (only for 740Li and above)
Retailing at $280k for 3.0 and $312k for 4.0
Any takers??

My Ride: e60 530i - SOLD!
After driving considerably for a few days with 16.2 software... i concluded with the new software, i experience a slow kick down response/ hesitation. While i was with 12.1, when i step on the throttle without activating the kick down button, instantaneously it upshift.
With 16.2, it stays in gear and i always got caught with hopelesslow end torque. Darn!
I wonder if the system is relearning my driving style.
Anyone experiencing similar?
