The LEDs are the same brightness, its just the photographs that makes them look brighter, I took a picture of it and it looks pretty bright too... In reality, its probably the same brightness, but it really makes the car look more sharp... I think we'll have to adjust yours a little bit when we put the resistors in... Cheers...

Hi all, where would you recommend in Bkk which is a reliable place to accessorise my 530? Wheels, body kit etc. Or should one just stick to the main dealerships?

Cheers

RPM, but everything depends on what you're looking for. You got a 530? How much did you pay for it? I really regret getting my 525 just 3 months before the 530 became available. Welcome to the board ziggy!!

I probably paid wayyyy too much for it , but after demo-ing the 525 for a week I decided it was underpowered and went for the bigger engine. Very happy with the decision. Can you tell me where RPM is please? Looking for 19" wheels and some body kit. Also, what tyres are recommended which are suitable for our roads here? I do a fair amount of driving on the highways outside of Bkk. I currently have the original run-flats

Thanks for the welcome!

I paid 4.9 for mine. But that was a year ago. Now its listed at 4.3. BMWs really lose their value really fast. There are a few that I know off, one in Thong Lor, one on Ramkhamhaeng. As for tires, I dono much, I just ask them to recommend it for me if I were you.

4.4 for me... RPM is in Thonglor? Whereabouts? I am in Ekamai...
The M5 in Millenium Rama 4 is in need of an owner. After kidding them about the huge asking price of around 10 mio, those guys asked me what I was willing to pay for it. They are obviously willing to take some kind of a haircut on it...

RPM Thonglor Soi 13. Keep going into the soi until you see RPM on the right hand side. This one is a smaller one. One Ramkhamhaeng, its a bigger branch, lots of goodies there. Oh yeah, I saw that M5, but driving a 525i and going to look at an M5 is kinda embarrassing for me, so I didn't check it out, but I did see a used one on the lot around ratchda.
