I am lucky to order it just before the promotion end few months ago.?

but don't be disappoint, the 06' version might comes with some new things such as the "start button" which we are dreaming of~

and all promoted cars are in stock 05' car so no additional options and limited color/trim combination could be choose.?

Apparantly beside the start/stop button the MY2006 will get a Professional radio as I have read in other threads for all models which means mp3 capability, they would also get an updated DSC programming which have comfort stop, brake drying, fading compensation and one more function forgotten the name but works something like if you let you foot off the gas suddenly, the computer will sense it and the caliper will move closer to the disc so the car can be stop quicker. Other than these everything else will remain the same.

Don't know if an updated CIP will give us the new DSC functions but sure hope it will.

Morning all,

I was surprised too to see so many Canadian Chinese too.

Hey Mic325, I am also graduated from the 90's so we are in the same age group.

Thanks AC_S5 for the detail rims info. Also surprised to know all the different things in the 06 model, so many things to learn from you guys (I should have done better research).

I agree with your statement: MB sucks!..... thats' why we didn't even bother test driving it!!

FYI, AhJai is from Vancouver so you've got company. But I think he is from 2000 onward.

Hi pogo1,

Nice to meet you too. Does it mean that everyone here is from Canada?

Before I only know gf366 is from Toronto but now seems like everyone here is from Canada. And all of a sudden I've got more Si Hing/Si dai.

I m from class of 2002, does that mean I am older than you?? I couldn't believe you are married already at such a young age.? I think the trend in Canada is that people get married real soon because there's nothing to do there.? But here in Hong Kong there are just too many activities plus buying a house is a big problem for us youngster, so might stay single for longer than I expected
[snapback]189549[/snapback]
Not necessarily... I think we are at the same age... Coz for some reason, I'd took a year off after my 2nd year.

Yea, Hong Kong people tends to marry late (my sister is a few years older than me and she's getting marry next month!)... I just thought when on found the right one, it's more secure for both of us to get married... As most of you guys might know, it's easy to find a girl in HK, but difficult to find the right one here... (I just thought girls in HK are too materialistic compare to Canada)

"I just thought girls in HK are too materialistic compare to Canada"........ Can't agree more with you gf366.

Girls in HK sure know how to dress up and they look very trendy and stylish. However, they have big ego and really really materialistic. They tend to place all the material things (e.g. apartment, car, money) ahead of love.

I met my wife in Canada and married after 2 1/2 yrs coz I found the right person. However, she got friends in HK who are still single but would only date someone who are loaded. :thumbsdown:

PS:Too bad you guys are all married, otherwise many HK girls will be chasing after you knowing that you are driving a bimmer. (just joking)!
