RSLK,
What type of friend are you, never introduce good product to new comer. Don't be selfish, introduce. Edlee's product has been sitting there for quiet sometime after our last installation.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I feel so at home already......
Anyway, the PSS9 sounds great but the thing is, how often will I utilize the PSS9. I was telling a friend, for 'normal' drivers, we probably use 60%-80% of the stock suspension's capabilities. With PSS9, we'd probably use only 30%-50% of its capabilities...... And I don't track, so this upgrade is still under 'heavy' consideration...
As for the low engine oil, what did they do? I mean, the car is still quite new. Did this problem occur with the M54 engines? This is the only problem with the car, other than this, the car is great........
And Nutty Professor, we've met...... at yew lip/BVO......

Greg, my ride is at 16K+ Km and engine oil level dropped 3 or 4 bars. I remember someone here mention about this and got PML to admit that something was wrong. Try searching back a couple thousand pages

Hi Guys,
For those driving the new E60 523/525/530 (N52 engine), do you find your engine oil level drops really quickly?
At about 5k km, I flushed the system and changed the oil, now, at 8.5k, the level has dropped to 3 bars (out of 5). Unfortunately, the newer N52 engines do not come with a dip stick and I've been informed from PML that in this new engine, the oil evaporates much faster.... but this fast????
Looks like at 10k km, I have to send it for servicing again.... don't believe in just topping up the oil.....

I mentioned the same problem in this forum before regarding my business partner E60 523. Something is obviously wrong. He had to top up engine oil 3 times basically after every 3km. PML gave the same stupid excuse but finally admitted something is wrong and decide to change some components in his engine. They gave him a loan car for 3 weeks while waiting for the part to arrive.
You certainly have a case and should make sure PML rectified the problem.

This is no OT. Its about a mini GTG 
He did ask me. He doesn't qualify yet anyway.
How can you atest to the flaps if you haven't got them? Same as Greg the Guru, you don't qualify too. Get an E60 and we may let you in on more mods; mind blowing mods!!!

GPS comes standard with my car..... its alright.... don't use it 90% of the time... I think the garmin one is friendlier to use..... but maybe that's just me.....
Have adaptive lights but don't really see the advantage of it in Singapore.....
