i heard abt that accident, watched the news but they did not show the report...

 

It is a 520. I saw that 520 rims. I think he might have drove too fast...quite badly damaged at the front...oh man...bmw insurance premium will go up and up...I heard the passenger was injured...

ed, did u get to see the reg no.?

 

The last time when i sent my car in early May, PML has this "noise" campaign where every new 5 series brought in they had them fixed for those door creaking problems.
After my first fix last Jan, it was ok for the next 3 months i was driving it. There were little bit here and there every now and then but not bothersome as yet.

But when i brought in to fix the steering noise issue in early May , they redo the door for me without me asking. so far everything is ok. So the door fix is quite effective!

However lately I am bothered by occasional jerky shift from 1st gear to 2nd when i pull hard for a sprint. I only got this after they updated the software.

 

I think I saw this in one of the ads on local singapore motor magazine about half a year ago! anyone find out yet?

 

you bet, buddy! the longest thread huh!?

The Venture kit recommends waxing the clear bra just as you would the rest of the car. So far, I have given the clear bra the same treatment that I use on the rest of the car. To do otherwise would leave me with one crappy looking vehicle. Bugs don't bounce off. They stick.

 

sg520....no i did not get to see the number! guess i'll have to stick to soccer betting

 

the price for this clear bra thing is a little steep n we dun get many bugs over here in singapore. may be useful if u do a lot of driving up to m'sia...

 

Could we ship you some mosquitoes? Rocks and road debris are a bigger threat for chipping the paint than bugs, although bug innards can etch paint if not cleaned soon after.

 

JDN i tell u wots our problem here n believe me they r 10x worse than dead bugs. We have probably the nastiest crow's crap in the world. Leave it overnite n it will eat into your paint. Cleaning it needs skill as well...u got to soak them in water for a good 3 mins b4 u even try to wipe it or they scratch ur paint.
