I am sure el capitano will reply soon then!

I am not sure whether Dynaudio have speakers to fit the E60 - I have been quoted on a brand called Morel, which seem to be pretty good! I am not too familiar with the brands for car a/v.

What my friend has quoted me is for a 4 speakers all round, 2 JL 12" subs in the boot and a couple of amps to drive teh speakers and sub.
I have Morel 2 way in my stepwgn and the sound is good.
I have 1 set spare at home for sale.

For the ipod upgrade, you can do it at dealership, or you can get Denson 500 like what deriffic does. You can PM him for the details.

For the speakers, the popular choice in here would be BSW, they custom made speakers for most BMW cars, and its just plug and play.
BSW are good but do they sell it in HK?

yes most ppl that own the supercar are not fast driver or racer.
they just like to pose
for us we like to enjoy the racing part more and have the most fun out of the cars on the track.
so this track day is like driving on the HK roads.
That dose sound scary.
Did you drive mike GTR?
Glad you had fun and safe coming back
Don't we all here in HK

I really don't think Mr. Shark (or me) can gain any advantage on a race using those body kids, the coils would be much more cost effective in that sense, but we don't get to pose it, do we? Don't you think, Mr. Shark?

Unless we do it like the yankies, leave our bonnet open everytime we meet... Man it would look so dumb here!

Will go look at the britax seats. Many thanks to all for your input.

The roads are ok to our factory, 80% freeway driving. But yeah might stock up on some tyres, which is a good idea.
did you every take you M5 for trackday in China?

This thing could cost you 200K p.a. to fix. Just out of my wild guess.
not just fixing it
I know it cost over 10k to do a service

there is nothing with that, I think the organizer should have different sessions to cater for different speeds though. most drivers braked pretty early, if I did drive, probably would have crashed into the back of someone. regardless, as long as one checks the mirror regularly, its much much safer than speeding on hk public roads. btw did you guys see the news of 6 cars got caught by the police yesterday?

1 good thing I learnt from last weekends trip is that he had v good mechanics support. I saw quite a few cars come back w smoking brakes, some cars had additinoal ducts installed to cool the brakes more effectively.
