throttle response is faster, meaning the engine rev up and down faster after I step/release the throttle. as for whether the car is faster... I dunno cos I don't drive fast anyway. :-D
The virbation thing KC warned about didn't happen (or haven't happened yet, finger crossed), but after 3000km it still haven't happen and I would tend to believe it will not be an issue.

If I did register legal mods that will be a long list and loads of $$$
I had over 60 mods on the car
This mean that no 1 will never get it register
I just took my stepwgn to get it full service for the last time and cost over $3500 just to change oil and oil filter.
but the 1 thing they did not fix was my wheel aliment.
the car was moving to the left a little bit and I ask them to check it out but they say the wheel is not honda spec so they will not fix it for free, they say it will cost me $1800 to do a wheel aliment and it is not 100% they will fix it.
They say if I register the wheels at Honda then they will fix it for free

They take it out side to a wheel shop lol :thumbsdown: I also know which 1 too, it is the same shop that I got the wheels from
and change me $1800 :thumbsdown: That shop only change 800 for aliment
now they saying that I have change the wheel and will not fix it for free.

I asked my sale if I change my exhausts is it void warranty and yes it dose.
I just got a latest news, one of the two service officers I know at BMW for over a decade had recently left...
even the other one is not very happy there now... 
if he should decide to leave as well, it seems in the future a different service officer is less likely to fight for my interests (even he failed last time to fight for me over the cable issue); with the "stiff board" policy up stairs at the garage is really making these front desk officers taking all these kinda blames...
Just my two cents to the senior bmwhk management, it is my understanding that at M.Benz, they would set a warranty budget for each service officer to average out to the lots s/he is currently looking after, and for each car, they also have a guiding budget (not a strict budget thou)... this way, this allowed more flexibility for the officers to deal with the unpredictable conditions and more importantly, make us happy customers... this method has surely made my family very happy with them services dept over the last decade (I was a happy customer with their services once, it was only that I prefer the handling style of bmw too much that I sold my E-class only 2 years after I owned it)
