Good to hear from fellow members in Thailand. I spend about 6 months of the year in Thailand as i am married to a lovely Thai lady. We have 2 children. We live in Pakchong, Nakhon Ratchasima when in Thailand but spend a fair amount of time in the capital on business. Here in the UK we have a 535d M sport and a Toyota pick up in Thailand. Can't afford a BMW in Thailand as they are just so damn expensive.....maybe when we move there for good! As you guys have said there are some great looking e60's around in Bangkok......must have cost a fortune! Will be back in Thailand in November for around 3 months so any of you who fancy a meet just let me know.
Welcome Freind,
Why don't u show us your ride as you have M5 Sports package so we would love to see your ride,
That means you like THAILAND and love THAI LADY ! that sounds nice, LOL,

Hey Peter,
So sorry, i was lil bussy and didn't had much time to come online in the last 3 days, so i m back now, It was reallynice meeting you both the 2 times and i must say "IMPRESSED" by you and your skills, you are just tooo perfect, man, at this age you are here so what r u gonna do when u are of my age (23), hahahaha
Yeah let's see, today we will go to check for the REAR BUMPER and installing our M5 Trunk Spoiler and the AC S Rear Screen Spolier, so if anything workable then we will see what to do, Nyways thanks for the last night, I noticed on my way back from Seacon that LED's on the license plate were quite bright and thanks for your idea and installing it for me, but now we need that resister to put on for the error code and i know you can do it easily,
So i will bring my USB CORD so then you would be able to upload the pics of tht M5 which we spotted that day along with your ride, Right !
See you today as now i am on my way to Install that AUX and then i will call you,
Thanks,

Thanks but there's lot of other people out there and here with so much more knowledge about these things, and I've lot quite a bit from this forum as well. I forgot to tell you that I got the decals for this forum from Mark, and if you want, you could have one or while I'm back home, I'll make a bigger one to go on the rear windshield, if your'e interested, please let me knwo, I'll get some big ones done. Also the resistors I'll bring back from home cuz I asked a few people where to get it, but they have no clue, so I'll bring it back from home, and also those PIAA bulbs for the foglight, I'll get a pair for you when I come back, cuz I see you asking for them, and PIAA bulbs are cheap in my country cuz they don't have to pay any import tax or they smuggled it in, I dono, but they're cheap so I'll get those for you too. Cheers.. let me know if something comes up. Waiting to get my hands on that M-Tech Kit from you tho... hahahahaha... Come on everyone help convince Sam to change to M5 kit so I get his M-Tech Kit... Help me out bro, my budget is a little low... (Not a little low, a lot low).... See ya when I get back Sam.

Hi Peter,
R u there ! I hope you back home safely ! I went to BMW SRINAKARIN today and have got my AUX PORT done today, it took almost all the day from 10 am till 7 pm but now it's working well, i will take the pics tomorrow as it's night time now and it wouldn't be clear,
I have asked my freind in BMW and he said that your none MP3 CD can be upgraded to the MP3 by just upgrading the Software and if you just bring your BMW to the NELSON (the buying point) so they will do it for you for FREE and if other showroom then they will take 800 BAHTS and just 20 minutes for upgradation of SOFTWARE, GOOD NEWS FOR YOU my BRO
Tomorrow i m gonna go to the RPM for installing the Spoilers and then i will take the new pics for you to see how does it looks, But i will be missing u while i go to RPM alone, come back fast Bro,
Sam

WOW that is great news! I'm definitely getting that MP3 upgrade! When i get back, care to go with me to German Auto? I don't wanna drive all the way to Nelson because for 800 baht, it won't even pay for the fuel to get there.. hahaha... so I'll just pay German Auto to do it. How about the LED, did the guy fix it for you? I hope he can. Well I'll be back monday night, so i'll probably get you the resister and bulbs the next day or the night I land. See ya bro..

Thanks GOD !! u r here now, Today i missed u while i was at RPM, I have got my Rear Trunk M Spoiler and AC S Rear Glass Spoiler done and looking FANTASTIC, I have changed the FOG LAMPS to the XENON 10,000 K kit also (JAPANESE) and my Headlamp Factory bulbs to JAPANESE 10,000 K bulbs also, now both the front FOG LAMPS and FRONT LIGHTS are same, i will send you the pics tomorrow and i hope you will like it,
Yeah Definately when u r back then we will bring your vehicle for the MP3 Upgrade at German Autos, I asked that guy he said you will have to put the resisters or have to put the ORIGINAL LICENSE PLATE bulbs somewhere and get the wire out of those bulbs and put in the LED LIGHTS, so you will have to keep those ORIGINAL BULBS and the LEDs at the same time to get the Error message out, No other possible way,
Hope you will be back soon, Be Safe Bro !

So you will not be needing the PIAA right? How much did you pay for your Xenons? Error message? I gotta be quick on this one, my brother needs his computer back. I forgot to bring my laptop... I'll be back Monday. His solution about tapping the wire is not good at all, you're better off just putting the resistor in and thats all. Well see ya when i get back. Cheers...

Hi Peter,
I upgraded the Front Headlamps to 12,000 K JAPANESE BULBS for just 7,000THB but the price they were giving me earlier for just 2 bulbs was 12,000THB and then you know me, i asked for the better price to that guy and now he is a good freind of mine and giving me the best best prices for all the things, The FOG LAMPS XENONs just costed me 10,000THB with NO ERROR MESSAGE becoz they put the resisters in there and the price given earlier 13,000THB, now i have get many exclusive deals for you and me so when you come back then i will go to upgrade many more things but now just waiting for you to come back,
Maybe if you can bring the PIAA then can you find the PIAA for the angeleyes !
Yeah plz bring the resistors for the license plate for me and for your car too so there wouldn't be any error messages,
Last night i drove my car, it's looking just FANTASTIC and Xenons are Damn COOl man,
