I am still in Canada and will be back to HK for vacation during X'mas time.
I owned a 330i before, bought in 2004 and if anyone knows about a big rain storm during Aug/05, my 16 months old 330i was totally flooded! The car has been totalled and I have to get a new one.........

[/quote]Is this in Toronto? How the hell did your car get flooded? I don't think insurance covers the act of god right?

[/quote]Yes, AC_55, this happened in Markham (Steeles/Woodbine). I want to know why either! My car was just parking at a parking lot. It happened on Aug 19 - Friday - (not even a black Friday). We've got a rain storm, a really really heavy one and part of that parking lot was flooded. At least 30+ cars were flooded. My car was flooded with mud water up to the dash board. I might have some pictures (but not my own car). Who would expect this kind of thing to happen?

Fortunately my car insurance did cover the lost! If anyone got friends in Toronto, they probably will remember this! (I definitely would remember this for life!)

Here is a quote from the CHOICE # 285 (17 July 2000)?
Link to the article
At present, oil companies supply only unleaded petrol of 98 octane rating of different formulations. This decision of the oil companies means that consumers are deprived of their opportunity to choose lower priced and lower octane rating fuel.
The survey has highlighted the concern that the majority of Hong Kong motorists are paying extra for a petrol which, under normal driving conditions and contrary to common perception, does not enhancethe performance of their cars. So it's costing these consumers more for literally nothing.
Whether V-Power will give you more power its still highly debatable according to the article.?![Whistling](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/whistling.gif)

The guy who park beside me also have an E60 but I don't think he is a member here although I am pretty sure he notice the decal on my window. But I think the owner is not that into cars judging by the colour they choose, as these colour are associated with si lai (no offense though

OK....I tried, but it seems next to impossible to reach those clips holding the grill. Those flaps that I hv are completely blocking the way to the top clips. And I don't see where else I can hv access to them. Didn't use any brute force cuz I don't want any other parts broken. Any suggestions??
gf366, u think your shop would be kind enough to do it for me? even if they hv to charge me....
