730iL:
- this one gives no driving pleasure
- it comes with all the options I always get
- it is ready for pickup right away
- it is a 2nd hand from BMWHK, but brand new
- free reg for one year
740iL:
- this one gives pretty good driving pleasure because of its twin turbo
- it comes with all the options I always want, except GPS
- it is ready for pickup right away
- it is a 2nd hand from BMWHK, but brand new
- free reg for one year
- it is actually a 3L engine, ie. cheaper reg
750iL:
- this one is a real beast under the sheep skin
- it comes with all the options I always want, except GPS
- it is ready for pickup right away
- it is a 2nd hand from BMWHK, but brand new
- free reg for one year

For all three models above carries the same problem, eveyone I know tells me their resell value really sux, frankly, from what I check from the historic stuffs from both the magazine and the internet, it seems to be true.

Porsche Panamera S (or 4S)
- this is THE winner no doubt, but I admit, it not as friendly to the passengers as the F02
- the options is going to cost me at least another 100k
- the earliest availability would be May/Jun or even Jul
- its a 1st hand
- reg is going to cost me
Just buy whatever you feel the most happy with and forget about the re-sell value. Most HK people worry about re-sell value and eventually buying something not they want the most. I have a friend who bought a 997 GT3 few years ago and his rationale is because it has a higher re-sell value. I am not rich but I buy car or mod for my car purely for pleasure, not for re-sell. JM2C

get the bryton GTS silver to match you car. only 21lb each at $3700 each it is the best on the market right now.
If you going for looks then dont every think about the feul consumption.

$3700 also for the spacer?

To the best of my knowledge, F10 won't be available till May/June, but in fact, I am now expecting something else on June I just put down a deposit for a Panamera S today , I hope I am not going to regret it later.
Bro Billhk, looks like we both deserted the bimmer this time BTW if it is not too much to ask, do you think you can give me a hand on getting the cheque back?
