i beg to differ!
TG II is nice color but some said it a tad greenish under certain lighting spectrum. It's less on the road so yr friend should go for it.
Zag, actually TGII is the revised colour of TG and it doesn't have the greenish tinge. In fact it was my original colour choice, just that when I was ordering my car, the SE could not explain the difference between TGII and TG and they didn't have a car with TGII in at the time, so I played safe and went for SB. Now regret, I really like TGII.....

5. Stranger (will try very very hard; sunday 3-5pm I normally konk out ...)
6. yankee
7. Fireplace (Tentative)

9. Tategoi (also tentative)

We have yet to decide on location for this mini e60 meetup to check out the minimac/ video interface mod, etc. Shall we do it back at the usual kallang macdonalds open space carpark (so tat we can buy drinks, etc from macdonalds). Or do u guys prefer it to be at the Fort Road Carpark?
I vote for Kallang Mac.

BTW, can someone post a picture of Titanium Grey II please. A friend who I am sure is lurking in this forum is undecided whether to get TGII or Silver Grey.

tategoi

Tell him to go for Titanium Grey II, best colour for the E60, IMHO unless he's getting an M5, then I'll say Sepang Bronze

Anyone of you heard of the Vitas car navigation system? They advertised can customise it for E60. Not sure whether to go for it.

Folks, I've decided to go for the Sebring exhaust for the E60. Someone over at BMW.SG got a quote for $1150 for it.

model number is: 031660-4

Reason I choose the Sebring over the Remus is because it's got a more low-key (like stock) tailpipe design. It is suppose to have the same low bassy sound like the Remus, but it is slightly less loud.

The Remus E60 exhaust model number is 086002 0578, price quoted from Fong Kim is $1300

Both exhausts are out of stock at the moment and new orders will take 6-8 weeks to come in.

I think we can go with different exhausts and still get a group buy going at FK, so lets see a show of hands, and we'll see if Stormrider can help us make a deal with FK:

1. eggz (Sebring)
2.
3.
4.

HELP!

Hi all, I have just collected my ride (525) a couple of days ago and while scrutinizing the car, I discover a faint whistling/hissing/whining sound emiting from the gear knob when I accelerate.

Could someone advice me if you have encountered similar situation with your E60? Mine was a Sep 05 production which came with a start/stop button.

Also, would really appreciate any technical advice on the problem. I plan to bring it back to PML to have it check, and would be useful if I can highlight the probable cause with their technical people. Many thanks in advance. Cheers!

All Singapore E60 members. I am just curious if the group (which is growing steadily) has organized a group E60 photo shoot before.

I am sure it will be awesome and there is a place near Seletar airbase where there is ample open space and the cars can be positioned right next to a few aircrafts that parked on the tarmac.

Just need a few avid photographers and collective interest to have a group E60 photo shootout. Just a thought. Anyone interested?

I'm sure that could be arranged. We'd just have to spruce up our rides a little before the shoot. Can be discussed.
