Captain Evil

how soft are the eibachs v H&R?
I have sat in both and I would say H&R is about 50% stiffer, I think you be OK with H&R.

Wow, you work the whole night to answer all the post, all the to you.

Thanks for the information on tyres pressure, will give it a try (36 F and 38 back) & see will it perform better on the road.

B.T.W. I have tinted the whole car included the sunroof. Using the store recommended by the apple daily. The service is OK, they changed the back windshield one during installation & the 2 back passenger windows few days later after I found some bubbles on it (again, without further question for replacement). Now the car seems cool down a bid during driving & parking under the sun. The most obvious is my wife doesn't has allegy problem under direct sunlight in the car, seems the UV & IR protection is working. Of course, the GPS & mobile phole is working perfectly in the car too.

Thanks for the advice!
Added the Sprint Booster with get back the pick up performance.

Hey fellow Chinese people!

Do you guys know how to get different style of rims from Concessionaires. I have not checked with them yet. I want to buy style 124 rims when I order my 530i soon.

You are just ask the sales when placing the order
But to be honest, i would get 166, 167, 172 or 128 instead
They look great on our E60
