Tot you mentioned you had a PI X5 (2nd hand) before?

What made you wanna go back and get another X5?

Share with us your analysis esp when comparing with the similar models:

BMW X5 vs MB M-class vs Porsche Cayenne vs VW Touareg vs Audi Q7 vs LandRover Discovery

BZSAB,

I will be asking Ah Bao to pop over either Thur or Fri night to do the kidney transplant. Let me know when/how I can pass you the "blood" money...

Dr Eugene,

once my PayPal account is activated with the "expanded usage" i.e. without the USD250 limit), I will order two sets of the 2 "Real" Wing Flaps aka Piecha CVR Module for both our rides. I will let Ah Bao experiment with my ride to see if it really fly at speeds of up to 50km/h.

Marcus of Piecha said for RHD cars, we need to remove the Gas Pedal to install it... it will come with extra 60cm of the red power cable and proper earthing. It will come with a set of secret steps to deactivate the Wing Flaps so that when we send our car for service and inspection, our rides will not simply take off!

Now we know Bro Ed is no longer having the monopoly for the Wing Flap trade in Singapore... haha

Guys, something terrible happened to my ride on Sunday... I parked to near to a kerb and had my rear passenger side brand new rims scarred...

Is there any quick fix for this? Can I buy some silver/aluminium paint from Autobacs to cover those damages? Its not massive but it caused a heartache nonetheless...

Lmk was right... those Goodyear Eagle F1 which promises "rim protection" didnt help at all...

Sorry to hear that!
Ah Long can do that for you.
Meng has just his shoes polished, maybe you can take a look.
I was saying, the F1 is not good enough to protect the rims even though they claim there is because of the soft sidewalls.

bugaboo

yep. you can take a look at my rims. just done by ah long last week. it was horribly defaced after 1 yr. now good as new.

RSLK

Well... mine is defaced after 2 weeks :'(

How much did it cost you? Where is his workshop? His name sounded pretty scary? Especially if you owe him money???

bugaboo

what analysis? just my heart and my wife,
i used to own a 01 x5.
of the list, i only like the disco 3. but 4.4 l is too much for my needs lah. 3.0 will do.
the x5 is a great car. plenty of community support to research 'common' problems.

the cayenne is nice. but the base model, at 300K doesnt even have by-xenon headlight. what crap.

bugaboo

i think $75 per wheel. yew lip also does a good job on the rims, and slightly cheaper.

OK, we can decide BCM or BKT i think we should take our lunch near Vincar (Ubi)
because both stalls are nearby.
