Zag,

are you trying to pull me in too?
i am out of many things AM (after marriage).

OK, since you started it now, i open this for discussion.

For money can buy now. i wish to have the following for my ride. I am not going for extreme high end but sound that i wish to have:

1. Luxman CM20000 power amp x2 to drive front main speakers (for muscial clarity)
2. JBL 6000 GTI to drive 2 subwoofers (class D or even T for absolute bass driving)
3. front speakers MB quart Q216 series (cusotm hand made, not the off the shelf model) for superb imaging and clarity.
4. Phass Alnico magnet component speaker set for the rear and centre speaker. perfect for classical music and vocals.
5. ADS competion 346ci for field effect speakers. proven and still the best.
6. Cerwin Vega Pro15 if not, (2 units) ..what else thump better than a CV?
7. Soundstream xxx15
8. Rockford fosgate 3sixty sound processor (CES winner, wanted to try it out) comes with more than 275 eq settings with DSP. Self flat response tuning eq and bluetooth for easy tuning via a palm PDA.
9. Alpine VPA B222 hub processor. plug eveything into this and control through one hub.
10. Rockford fosgate power1000 to drive the field effects. A technology marvel.

i leave out head unit and others out, as most of the time, in a BM, we cannot change much.
of course, we can talk about cables and capacitor and low loss inductors later.


enough to chew and digest?

Guys,

Anyone interested to add in the extra piece of body kit (dunno how it's called) at rear number plate?

I am getting Mike to do it for me. For those without boot switch, you'll need to install one before adding this kit.

Price quoted by Mike: $400 without boot release switch

you do not really need the boot release button.. i bought the part for S$36 and it is still sitting in my closet even after having the boot lid shield on.

Ah Leng (ex PML technician) install the switch for S$85.. he is at AMK Auto Point.

Yes!! This is the one.

Zag,
Mine E60 is the start/stop and come with the boot release button. So don't have to install.
But for those without boot release button, it is not necessary to install?

the release button does not override locked boot so i can't see the point of having it.

you have to keep the boot unlock (key slot at 6 and 12 o'clock) before you have the shield put on anyway. to open the boot either one have to press the release handle at the boot or use the remote key.

one tip for you to remind Mike when he put the shield on for you,, make sure they have enough double sided tape around the periphery of "edges" of that piece to hold them flush. the triangle shape corners tend to lift off and it is an eyeshore. I wasn't very happy with Mike's work for this one.
