hi
thank you all for feed back.

need further answers.

can smg steering be fitted to 523 looks nicer than m5 steering .i like the titanium sides.i heard smg was fitted to 320 and they managed to make it work.

run flat tyres heavier or lighter than ps2 what is the contact number for chin wah for ps2.

can my ride take 18" any one selling any nice rims

m5 kit install from where and how much if not from pml.any other body kit apart from m5.

zainol or zymol better for carbon black.how much for zymol grooming

i see no more temperature gauge does that mean we can drive straight away ie no warm up.

can i red line the car before run in.when is next oil change

Any one selling parts for E60 (may be we should have a sub folder ie new thread E
60 singapore bazaar)


TIA

getting the car next week.

 

M5 steering with paddles can be fitted, but if you want ot shift, it'll void warranty

Runflats are heavier than regular tyres of the same size

There isn't a temp gauge, but you'll see these markers on the tachnometer that will tell you how warmed up the engine is

Don't go beyond 4000rpm for the first er...1000km let it run it

Not sure about Zainol vs Zymol. I just go my ride Zymoled and it looks damn good.

 

Come to the meet-up this Sunday....

GTG: Sunday 30th Oct 2005 4.30PM Kallang Carpark next to McDonalds (N1 18.317 E103 52.930)

M3 SMG paddle shift steering was possible to be fitted to all E46 with a slip ring and a switch relay (aftermarket)

look for Ah peng the boss of chin wah (i think) 96969312 or 97034792

Yes 18" just nice for your ride. Max 19"

You could go PML to buy the kits then get ah long (TCL spray painting) to spray and install it.

Zaino is synthetic, Zymol is natural. It depends on your preference but Zymol has a better depth thus better for deeper colors. I can PM you the prices.

Even if there is a temp guage you still can drive straight away. Its much better as the car can reach its optimum operating temperatures faster rather than you warm up at idle which is slower. In any case if engine is too hot, the display will prompt you to switch off engine so its pretty safe.

You can't go more than 4000rpm for 2000km, after that you can floor it. First oil change is about 20000km, again the computer will prompt you to change. If you don't hit that mileage for a year, its recommended to replace it once a year.

No one selling E60 as of yet (I think) from the forum.

 

Yes the N52 series is noticeably smoother than the M54 engines. It was quite obvious when I switched from the E39.

Imagine that smooth N52 3.0L with 258 BHPs in your 530......

 

I've discovered (out of laziness to top up the gas) that the Potenza Runflats that I have are much more comfortable when slightly under deflated.

The recommendations on the B pillar are 2.0 and 2.4 for my 17in rims. My pressures went down to 1.9 / 2.3.

Anyone knows the downside of under inflating the Run Flats ? As they are now, I don't feel the need to get rid of them.

Hi BoneDoc,

I think the downside of under inflating is higher fuel comsumption and tyre wear rate, also a little more understeer.

I don't mind the increased tire wear as I figure I might as well wear them out fast and then change to non run flats. My Runflats are probably not worth much if I traded them in now.

As for fuel consumption, I get terrible figures anyway because I am not really on the highway much except on weekends--- it's hovering around 6.7 km/L (14.8 L/100km). This BTW is what I used to get with my E39! :thumbsdown:
