I think they need to improve a lot,
i already told them it, maybe it's called exclusivity, however if you ask for a test drive i think you can get
whatever they have.Anyways you met the marketing G manager at the Z4 launch, email him your thoughts.......
BMW is still very powerful money wise, whilst Audi and VW have spent a shxt load of money
doing good marketing, and putting out new models,but with the problems with their stock and Porsche, i think
that it is not sustainable.
one more point, the service of dch is crap, much worse than bmw hk so think about that,
i remember from my wife's honda

Cheers
Bill the diehard beemer man
Bill ask them to arrange any exclusivity test drive

what a coincidence, I am looking at this one today as well.
Are you waiting for full open fire ?

Plasma Spark you already installed. Not only Plasma Ground, but also Plasma Booster

Full set for full power

I am sure the brake performance will be significantly improved over your stock.

What pads you planning to get?
My redstuff is much quieter than last week and i am sure it will stop the squeak after it beded in

nah if the car can take plasma direct you don't need to put plasma booster on it. there's no plasma booster for e60, only plasma direct.

dunno how much difference is plasma ground if I have plasma direct already...

+1

Audi had been made very successful these few years in HK,
they also show the generous in these kind of events, they let you drive their cars as much as you want.

That reminds me the BMW driving experience held in TST near the heliport last year (Pinguhk were with me at the time),
They put cones to make the road very tight and that force you to reduce your speed,
i understand there must be for safety reason as some people got no skills at all, but what is the point?

Can people really test the car performance in a 30km/h track? Doesnt make sence to me :thumbsdown:
