Thanks for the link matey!
I think the battery drain problem was caused by the multiple reasons, CD charger, telephone, alarm...etc
BMW should fix this for FREE since it is clearly a bug in their system.

Technically, my car hasnt been "fixed", but it "stops" draining. So which means is the alarm that draining the battery.
and the car wash guy at the car park told me the car went crazy the night before the battery drainned

in my place, if I forget to close the window, I will get a call from the security. if for some reasons, my entry card doesnt work, they will go through a v thorough check, which some time drives me v mad: its not as if someone would drive in a registered car to steal another car, would they?

greetings

for chinese restaurants, my picks:

four seasons hotel
lei garden, in wanchai or ifc are both good.
yeung kee, famous for their thousand year eggs and roast geese

you can also goto the ones at the peak, food is only so so but view is good, need reservation in advance to ensure table w good view
