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

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.

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.

My ride is in for regular maintenance; software upgrade; Aux input installation; some minor rattling noise fixes here and there.
Got a loaner 523i - hey! the engine is reaaaaaalllly smooth and quiet. Got to give it to the new engine. No active steering on this one... what a difference in steering response.

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.

[/quote]Hi BoneDoc,
I think the downside of under inflating is higher fuel comsumption and tyre wear rate, also a little more understeer.

[/quote]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:
