What? RFT only cost $300 a piece? The last time I ask it was like $700 for 18".
Are we referring to the same thing? If it is $300 a piece it is cheaper than P zero rosso at S$480 a piece.
For $300.. I would suggest by all means keep the run flat. It save you fuel cost for the extra weight of carrying a spare in the boot. (bean counter talking ..heheheh!)

The space saver spare that I have in my car doesn't weigh all that much.

Edlee,
Thanks for the advice. Will leave them on.
btw my tire guy is Mr. Lee of Seng Heng tire, next to Hock Hin at Alexandra Village, Bukit Merah block 116. I've been going back to him for more than 10 years. He has some tie-up with PML for used / exchanged rims if you are interested! 94508771 HP.
I got a quote of S$400 for the aux wiring. I'll just get the car and do this later.
Is the ICE from the 523 any good? Hock Hin told me that the head unit can't be changed, and the speakers are quite good this time and includes a subwoofer. Is there a sub? where? He reckons I could do with a multi-channel amp and a change of the rear speakers. Any feedback?
Thanks

BTW, do you know if brake force display is approved by LTA and why we don't have it on our E60s when it's standard in Europe? I think it's a great safety feature to have, especially for driving on expressways

BTW, people like yourself and Olivin should be quite happy to note that the rectification to your shaven eyebrows is nearly here. He mentioned that 18.1 which will help you grow your eyebrows back should be here in a couple of weeks.

If you can still add the Logic7 system., do so. It is arguably one of the best OEM DSP systems available.

Hopefully with 18.1, they won't break anything and keep the good stuff from 17.1

This one, I strongly advocate, is for somebody from Performance Motors in Singapore to follow:

[/quote]eggz,
I am still on CIP16.2. Wouldn't want to put her in as I wouldn't like the "eyebrow" to be shaven
However, intermittently (on quite a few occasions already), the voice-activation button on the steering fail to call up that pretty voice - I have to press the phone button above it first, cancel, then press the voice-act button for it to work
And considering this http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=...ndpost&p=149183, I thought it would be prudent to wait
