Hi Bunbun,
Thanks for your advice. My thinking is if the #124 did not work out, I can always sell them here n return to the original wheels. I always have the car on 'DS' drive on flat land n slight-slope, n 'D' drive when on highway.

Hi UB & HeiHei
Welcome to this sub forum.?
AC388, my 520 is not too shabby in speed altho it is no comparison to the larger engines.? When I switch it to manual shift, it is rather fun and spirited.? I think the 520 is a great value for money car.? As for the rims, it's really your choice but I should let u know after changing into the 17" 122 style rims with 245 runflats, the ride is definitely tougher than b4.? So I can imagine with 18" rims, it'll be even harder.
I'll post here to let u know if I hear of any almost new tire/rim sets.
Cheers

I forgot to ask you guys about extended warranty from BMW here, since I have to make a decision by the end of this month. Is it worth it ???
Also, did any of you install a DVD player into your car n use that front display as a Tv as well ???

Hi AC388
U have to decide on extended warranty already?? I thought it is when the 2 year about to expire then u decide....hmmm, I need to call my service manager and make sure because I definitely want to buy the extended warranty. Definitely worth the money if u plan to keep your car for a longer period.
Btw, does your car interior make alot of "it it" noise? Mine does.
