tategoi,

selling your ride liao?
Golf R32?
Well, everything is for sale at the right price

The R32 is a very nice car, but I am gonna loose my pants after 2-3 years of ownership, its diffciult to find the right price for a small car with big engine. Generally Singaporeans like big car with small engine.

This is NOT the first time I had this

E60 for Singaporeans-oil_pressure.jpg

It has become sort of an embarassment when my passengers asked if my ride is well maintained

Anybody has similar problem?

Wow...if the 535 bi-turbo is in the pipeline, that would be an excellent choice.
Remember; its pure speculation at this point in timw. May not materialise, maybe the thought of a 535i never did occur to the BMW engineers.

Engineers are generally creative and will probably have thought of it. Maybe BMW marketing department does not want a 535i to compete with its 545i, 550i and upward models. On the other hand, the 335i will be the top-of-the-line 3-series offer from BMW (other than the Ms).

Think I kena 95km/hr on a 80km/hr stretch along PIE near Toa Payoh exit. Thought the limit was 90km/hr and 5km/hr above speed limit should be okay so I didn't slow down. Its a one-man operation with him standing beside the camera. Looks like he is taking a video for post processing later. Sigh... I've gotta to check the SPF Eddies website 5 to 7 days later. https://www.psi.gov.sg/NASApp/tmf/TMFServle...-II&Reload=true

Edlee, so did you kena or not?

Its been a week already. So far no indication in the EDDIES page. Then again, there was a public holiday last week, so I'm still checking daily

I read from the BMW-SG site that the TP is out in full force. Many of our bros there have been shot down already. Looks like they're trying to recover "progressive package" money so better watch out for the next one month at least.

Knn talk about the cops, I got pulled over by a WRX on the PIE after Eunos exit 2 days ago.

Actually there was this BMW police car behind me with the siren on. So I pulled to the left (without signalling) and let him pass by. Then I went on the 3rd lane and back on the 2nd lane without signalling either. (I know I should) Next thing I knew there was this WRX beside me with all the christmas lights telling me to pull over.

Quite a young seagent, wanted to give me $170 fine and a 9 demrit for dangerous driving. I was like 'what the f?' No doubt I got full house but that would leave me with 15 to play with. I nego with him and he only gave me $70 fine for failing to signal. Phew.

To all the bros out there please signal when you do a lane change. You'll never know what hit you.

That just goes to reinforce what many others are talking about. Time to return the "progressive package". They give you SGD 1000.00 and take back slowly with interest.

Do be very careful everyone; time to make full use of your rear view mirrors.

Wow... you got SGD 1000? You really gotta be careful. May use up your points before the dollars.
I only got SGD 300. I returned all to them already. If they book me again this time, I'll be paying my 1st interest installment. I don't have much points left though....

Just guessing lah. I got 800 because I'm already considered useless; got my formal discharge cert a couple of years back. Do miss doing reserve training though. Eat, shit, sleep anywhere you want without a bother!!!
