Be gentle on your throttle on your way to the petrol station...

I tried before. 3 or 4 dashes will appear when it reaches past 0. I continuned driving for another 1 to 2 km before I reached the nearest petrol kiosk. Damn lucky. Not on my e46, it was on a E65 730i

Got to 5Km left on my M6 during the last trip to Malacca. Really nerve wrecking especially in a far away and unfamiliar place!!! Fortunately found a Petronas station before she died of thirst!!!

Went below 50 once only. In any case, the ding dong warning was annoying enough that I would just top up as soon as I could.

I guess occasionally going down to a low level though undesirable is not going to kill the car. Especially in Singapore, I don't think the car will "live" long enough to see the effect anyway. .

I don't know about BM, but my previous car spec'ed to have 8L in the spare out of the total. I would guess the 5 is around there also.

Those are meant for the M6. "Fly off at traffic light" Now I will need to retrofit a parachute!!! Can't wait to have them on. PML dragging their feet on my ACS springs. They're not sure whether to use M or ACS specs for the wheel alignment. They're consulting Germany about this. Also considering the 19 inch for my 545. They're also quite expensive; about SGD 6000.00 plus before tyres.

House Warming / Get together
Guys, as mentioned quite a few posts ago, I am now cordially inviting fellow members for my house warming. As I am not encouraging any presents, we will call this a GTG. As promised, there will be food and drinks, all FOC. The finalised date is Saturday, 3rd June 2006 and the time will be as usual, 4.30pm. The address is 96 Springside Avenue (opp Nee Soon Camp, formerly known as SBMT). You guys can come and also discuss about the reverse camera, I-Pod, whatever!!!

I'll start the ball rolling by naming my good friend.

1. Russo - leave the shop to your right hand woman and come!!!
